Every day we do quite a lot of skin care steps and put so much effort into it, but there’s a small object, you definitely use in your entire life that can lead to serious irritation, do you know it? Yes, that’s your towel. Many of us use standard terrycloth towels, often without realizing it, as an abrasive tool. When we finish washing our face, we aggressively drag them across the skin, almost as a makeshift exfoliant, to wipe all the water away with vigor (and sometimes even to "itch" or slough dry skin). The scary part? That daily repeated friction of the rough towel pulling against the skin, strips it of essential oils, leading to dryer, more irritated skin; while prolonged tugging and pulling can lead to sagging. And even inflammation. Our solution? Use the softest towel you can find and just gently pat it across your face after face-washing, the whole point of using a towel is to dry your face, not for anything else, remember it! x Byrdie #365skincare #skincare #skincareaddict #skincareaddicted #skincarecommunity #skincaredaily #skincarejunkie #skincarelovers #skincaremistake #skincaremistakes #skincareroutines #skincaretip #skincaretips #skincarewithluv #skintip #skintips #youareluved #skincareroutines #beautyobsessed #texturetuesday #skinstagram #skincareshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CKTh_HKBtxF/?igshid=porgaia8u3uy
