To keep the skin healthy, it is very important that you follow every step of skin care properly. Be it moisturizing the face or face cleansing and toning. Its first step is to wash the face and if you make a mistake in this, then you do not get the full benefit of all the subsequent skin care steps. Most people know that face wash can be done two or three times a day or people keep in mind the ingredients and skin type while buying face wash, but most of the people make some common mistakes while washing the face.
The skin becomes very dry after washing the face or dryness persists even after applying moisturizer. If the correct result of your face wash is not visible on the skin, then it is because of some mistakes of yours which you make during or after washing your face. Let us know about this in details.
Applying face wash on dry skin
Many people take out face wash on their hands and apply it directly on the face, but this mistake can make your skin more dry. Before applying face wash, wet the face thoroughly. With this, the face wash gets spread properly on the skin and the face gets cleaned properly. Whereas when you apply face wash on dry skin, it does not spread properly and remains more on the area where you have applied it first and that part of the skin may become a little dry.
using more or less face wash
Many people do not know how much face wash they should take. Many times people apply a lot of face wash because they feel that it will clean the skin better, while sometimes people apply less face wash due to the fear of the skin becoming dry. The best way is to take face wash equal to a rupee coin on your hand and apply it on the face.

wash face quickly
Often, after applying face wash, people massage their face once or twice with their hands and then wash their face, but if you are using face wash with salicylic acid or niacinamide, then these active ingredients present in it do not get time to work, due to which the effect is not visible on your face.
Using too cold or hot water
To wash face, people directly use tank water which is very cold during winter. This is harmful for your skin as well as health. Similarly, using too hot water causes the skin to become dry. The face should always be washed with normal temperature water.

don’t make after mistake
After washing face, people wipe their face quickly and due to this they rub the skin quickly. You have to take a very soft towel and gently tap and dry your face with it. Moisturizer should not be applied after the skin is completely dry, rather if you apply moisturizer when there is slight moisture after wiping the face, then it spreads well on the skin.
