You've Been Washing Your Face Wrong and it Shows!


Perhaps my biggest pet peeve of all is the cringeworthy way in which I have witnessed people wash their faces and it is SHOCKING. I have seen people use hand soap, use shampoo, use damaging skin products and worst of all, simply not washing their faces. It was college when I really saw these terrible skin care habits up close and personal and I don’t totally blame people when this happens, it’s clear that they have just never been taught. It’s like when you go to the gym and you see that one cringeworthy person using a machine completely wrong, but they think they’re using it completely right…same idea. It’s cringeworthy, it’s painful, but it's simple to learn and I’m here to help! 

Washing your face for some can be a one and done type deal or a 9 part production, it really depends how much time and commitment you’d like to invest into your skin health or what your own skin needs. Of course, there are those that have never washed their face a day in their life and somehow still have flawless skin…and to those, I say, enjoy it now cause that is NOT gonna last forever (also a proper skin care regimen prevents premature aging...so who's gonna look better when you're 50)? But for those who are eager to learn the proper way in which to wash your face, read on!

I just want you to imagine for a second, the amount your face comes into contact with on a daily basis. I don’t mean to get graphic, but it’s a scary reality. Walking outside your home, you’re immediately slammed with all the environmental toxins that pollute our world (most of which are in invisible and you don’t even know are sticking to your face) such as: fumes, pollen, gases, cigarette smoke, other peoples germs and the list goes on and on. Every time you eat food, the residue of that food sits around your mouth and on your hands which will then inevitably end up touching and rubbing your face, spreading that residue all up in there. Still enjoy that greasy burger and fries you had for lunch? Or even your bed…which you lie on with your clothes that have also been out and about, exposed to the pollutants of your environment. Not to mention the amount of dead skin cells that sit on your sheets and pillow which is, brace yourself, about 30,000-40,000 dead skin cells an hour…you do the math! The point is, our skin is constantly being penetrated by the harshness of the environment and it’s time, as the responsible, health conscious adult you are to take control of your hygiene and skin and wash your face properly!

  1. Choose a cleanser based on your skin type
    1. Dry: Shoot for something with a creamier consistency, as it isn’t as harsh or drying on your skin. Look for something with a gentle exfoliant, but nothing too strong as that may dry your skin out more.
    2. Oily: Look for an oil-free cleanser that will get the job done. Something with Salicylic will help fight breakouts, without creating more oil.
    3. Combination: Look for something in the middle, nothing too harsh and nothing too mild. I love a glycolic wash because it fights dead skin cells, cleans and isn’t too harsh for a perfect clean.
  2. Remove all makeup! 
    1. Perhaps the most important step. Without initially removing your makeup, your face washing kind of does nothing. You want a clean canvas to wash your face so that you your cleanser can properly do its job!
  3. Wash!
    1. Use only about a quarter size amount of cleanser to avoid stripping your face.
    2. Gently move in circle motions around your face with moderate pressure, target your T zone for maximum results. Don’t forget about your hairline, above lip, chin and sides of your nose!
  4. Towel pat dry
    1. Never rub your face with your towel, as it can be harsh on your skin and can dry out your face. Pat dry your face and then let the rest air dry.
  5. Follow with the rest of your regimen!

 Don’t fall victim to crumby skin because you simply didn’t put the time in. Don’t spend 1 minute splashing your face with water and calling it clean when you can enjoy the two minutes of proper cleaning because there is literally no better feeling then a fresh, clean, clear face. TRY IT!!

    bioteskincare,

    OK, I‘ve always wanted to be Instagram-famous, too.

    If you’re like me, you’ve rummaged through Instagram, thinking “how do so many friggin people get so rich and famous”?

    I want you to imagine that it is Friday and you’ve just woken up from a sound sleep.

    You pull out your phone.

    Navigate your way to your page.

    You‘re flabbergastered at what is waiting for you: Over 832 likes on a single one of your pictures! There, you can see a a huge amount of likes on your pictures—over 738 on a single photo alone.

    You hop out of the bed, meander to the kitchen. You want a drink, so you put the kettle on for some tea, and check Instagram again.

    Presto! Another 49 likes.

    Here comes another one. This time it is not a like but a message from one of your followers. They flatter you on your success and let you know they love scrolling through your content.

    The kettle blows and you pour your tea. When you flip out your phone, there’s another message—this time from a young girl—thanking you for posting. She follows you religiously and you are an inspiration.

    As you begin to respond, your phone buzzes again.

    It’s another message coming in. You glance up at the clock—almost time for the gym. You will have to reply later.

    bioteskincare,

    OK, I used to be Instagram-”big”, too.

    If you are like me, you have rummaged through Instagram, thinking “how do these friggin people get so famous”?

    Imagine: It’s Friday morning and you told yourself you’d go for a run today.

    Roll over, check the cell.

    Hit the Instragram App.

    Whoaaa, you think, Over 800 likes on one picture.

    You rise out of your bed, stalk to the kitchen. You want a drink, so you put the kettle on for some coffee, and check Instagram again.

    Presto! Another 87 likes.

    And here comes another message. It’s from one of your many fans asking about your workout regime, and congratulating you on your sixth official month of going to the gym.

    As you read it, you begin to grin. It’s a amazingly sweet-looking person, and they love your posts.

    It’s another message coming in. You glance up at the clock—almost time for the gym. You’ll have to reply later.
