According to a survey of women aged 15 to 89, the most common skin concerns are pigmentation, dullness, wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and enlarged pores. Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation make the skin look older, while dullness creates a tired appearance. Loss of firmness and the appearance of wrinkles are natural processes but are accelerated by external factors such as UV exposure, dehydration, and improper skin care.
Common mistakes in face washing
-
Damaging the skin’s natural sebum barrier
This protective film is essential for hydration. Once weakened, skin becomes dry, sensitive, and prone to irritation. -
Weakening the barrier function
Loss of the skin’s ability to retain moisture and defend against UV rays leads to imbalance and faster aging.
Drawbacks of hand washing: tips for flawless facial care
-
Insufficient cleansing power
Washing with hands alone may leave sebum, dirt, and dead skin in the pores, leading to breakouts and dullness. Professional cleansing or beauty devices provide much deeper results. -
Residual impurities
Hand washing often misses fine dirt particles, causing clogged pores and acne. A solution: foams, facial brushes, or double cleansing routines. -
Excessive friction
Harsh rubbing can irritate skin, cause flaking, or thicken the outer layer. Skin is only ~2 mm thick, and the stratum corneum is just 0.02 mm — as thin as plastic wrap — easily damaged by friction. -
Hygiene risks
Bacteria from hands, especially under nails, can transfer to the face and cause inflammation. Always wash hands before cleansing or use hygienic cleansing devices.
