Small habits that age the skin..

1. Wiping your face with a restaurant wet towel
Many people use the wet wipes provided at restaurants not only to lightly dry their hands but also to wipe dust and sweat from their mouths and faces. The problem lies in the washing process, which uses excessive chemical detergents to recycle these wipes, potentially causing inflammation or skin irritation on the delicate facial skin.
​
2. Washing your face with dirty hands
The proper procedure is to wash your hands first before washing your face. However, most people skip washing their hands and immediately lather them with soap before rubbing them on their face. In this case, the dirt on their hands mixes with the soap and gets on their face, rendering the face wash pointless.
​
3. Scrubbing the face with an exfoliating towel
It is common for people to vigorously scrub their faces with an exfoliating towel when white dead skin cells flak or blackheads appear. However, scrubbing removes not only old dead skin cells but also the protective skin layer, making the skin sensitive and prone to damage; furthermore, if the skin's protective barrier is damaged, facial capillaries can be destroyed.
​
4. Wash your face with hot water
It is a misconception to think that just as laundry removes dirt better in warm water than in cold water, the same applies to the skin. Washing your face with hot water can cause moisture to evaporate, drying out the face and widening pores, which can lead to sagging skin.
​
5. Rub your eyes frequently
The habit of unconsciously rubbing your eyes frequently accelerates fine lines and dark circles around the eyes. Frequent eye makeup is also a shortcut to fine lines because it irritates the delicate skin around the eyes.
  
6. Rub cosmetics all over the face
When applying cosmetics, you should always sweep them lightly upward from bottom to top. The habit of pushing them down from top to bottom or rubbing your face with both hands causes the skin to sag.
  
7. Rubbing for a long time when removing makeup
It is a common misconception to think that rubbing cleansing cream for a long time dissolves makeup and provides a massage effect in addition to cleansing. However, in the case of color cosmetics or foundation, rubbing with cleansing cream for an extended period can cause pigments to seep into the skin, potentially leading to hyperpigmentation and skin problems; therefore, rub for less than one minute.
