Just changing ‘this order’ when washing your face… helps prevent skin troubles

Cleansing is very important for clear skin. However, the order in which you wash your face can affect your skin health. Here are three representative steps.

 

◇ Brush your teeth first, then wash your face

 

To prevent skin trouble, it is best to brush your teeth before washing your face. This is because ingredients in toothpaste and fine food particles can get on your face during the brushing process. Toothpaste contains various ingredients, such as fluoride, abrasives, and surfactants. These ingredients help remove impurities and whiten teeth. However, caution is required as they can irritate the skin if they get on the face. This is especially true for people who already suffer from skin conditions like acne or rosacea, as it can worsen their skin condition.

 

Therefore, to avoid skin problems caused by toothpaste ingredients, it is best to thoroughly remove any toothpaste residue around the mouth by washing your face after brushing. If washing your face is difficult, at least make sure to rinse off the foam around your mouth thoroughly. After washing, apply toner or lotion to prevent the skin from drying out. If you frequently get acne around your mouth for no apparent reason, checking the ingredients in your toothpaste and switching products is also a good option.

◇ Wash starting from the nose and forehead

 

When washing your face, you should start by washing your nose and forehead to minimize skin irritation. The area around the nose and forehead, often referred to as the "T-zone," is particularly prone to excessive sebum production. Conversely, the cheeks, which are typically the first area to be scrubbed, have less sebum than the nose and forehead and are therefore relatively drier. Over-washing the cheeks can actually irritate the skin and cause it to become even drier. Therefore, postpone the washing order to the end, keep the time spent scrubbing the cheeks short, and wash away the sebum around the nose and forehead more thoroughly.

 

◇ Wash your hair first, then wash your body

 

When showering, it is best to wash your hair first and your body last. This is because shampoos contain chemical ingredients such as parabens and alcohol, and if these substances remain on the body, they can clog pores, irritate the skin, and cause skin problems. The same applies to treatments and conditioners. It is better to wash your body after washing your hair, and after washing your hair, you should rinse it thoroughly with lukewarm water.
