Keep your skin in looking great every day by following certain methods of skin hygiene. This is because many of our everyday skin problems are caused by negligence and by seemingly small issues that appear inconsequential. Indulge in these routines daily for beautiful skin.

Washing:

You skin should receive a thorough cleanse from head to toe at least once a day. Lack of washing promotes bacterial growth and accumulation of sweat and grime which eventually manifests as rashes and pimples.

Removing make up:

Never go to bed with your makeup on. This simple step can and will save your skin from many problems such as blocked pores, eye problems and dull skin. Wash your face as soon as you get home to avoid falling asleep before you have a chance to clean up. If you are too tired to wash, use face wipes to clean your face.

Avoid touching your face:

Touching your face spreads germs and fungi. This is because your hands are a hotbed of germs. Do not prick pimples because this makes them more inflamed. The only time you should touch your face is after washing your hands.

Keep your make up tools clean:

All your brushes and sponges can spread germs to your face. For this reason, they should be washed often with warm soapy water and then air dried. Use disposable cotton wool to apply face powder, and do not share your make up.

Keep your pillowcase clean:

A greasy pillowcase can distribute unwanted oil to your face. Change it often.
