세안 전 손 씻기가 중요하다는 건 알지만, 화장실에 들어가면 무심코 얼굴부터 적시게 되어 실천하기가 생각보다 어렵더라고요. 하지만 손에 묻은 세균이 피부 트러블의 주범이라는 사실을 알고부터는 의식적으로 비누칠부터 하고 있어요. 처음엔 번거로워도 습관을 들이고 나니 피부 걱정도 줄어들고 만족감도 있어서 좋아요.
The basics of skin care start with washing your hands...
Do you know why you must use 'soap' when washing your hands before washing your face?
Tens of thousands of bacteria are normally present on the palms of your hands, and when you rinse them with water alone, more than 70% of the bacteria remain.
Rinsing with water alone and washing your face with your hands allows bacteria to directly penetrate the pores of your face, which is the main cause of acne, folliculitis, and contact dermatitis.
In this case, the cleansing agent ingredients react first to remove the oil and dirt on your hands, so the cleansing power is greatly reduced.
Also, if your hands are dirty, the cleansing power drops below 50% before you can even wipe off the waste on your face, so you won't be able to properly remove the sebum and makeup residue on your face.
And, after washing your hands thoroughly with soap, you must rinse off the soap thoroughly.
The reason is that soap residue left on your hands can interfere with the foam production of the cleansing foam you use next, lowering the quality of your cleanser. I've heard the advice to wash your hands thoroughly, remove the soap residue, and then cleanse, so I'm trying to do this.
This is why we must start with the basics of everything: hand hygiene.
It's hard, right?? haha
