7 Deadly Skin Sins

Don't be an innocent 2nd grader when it comes to skin care.  It's time to confess these skin care ways have been irritating to your skin and blemishing your face.

The first deadly skin sin:Overly abrasive crystals/beads in your face scrub or in your face wash (even though no crystals or of that sort should be in your face wash in the first place!). And that facial scrub with the walnut shells is a don't even think about it. Wash your face night and day and exfoliate the dead skin cells off twice a month.

The second deadly skin sin: Scrub mitts or loofahs. You are basically scrubbing your skin with plastic. Just use a washcloth. It's cheaper, softer, and more effective.

The third deadly skin sin: Face products like toner that have alcohol or menthol. Signs of it is it makes your face tight and dry.


The fourth deadly skin sin: Cold or hot water. It's ok to rinse your hair with cold water for shine, but do you want that for your face? 


The fifth deadly skin sin: Steaming or icing the skin. It's like hot or cold water extreme. Just plain irritating!


The sixth deadly skin sin: Facial masks containing menthol, alcohol, and fragrances.


The seventh deadly skin sin: Bar soaps and bar cleansers. It's not only irritating but drying. Switch to a moisturizing body wash.








Come clean and I hope you enjoy better skin!
