A free tip to protect your skin barrier (No scrubbing with a towel!)

I used to suffer terribly from redness because my skin barrier was completely compromised. This is the most basic tip the dermatologist taught me back then: don't rub your face hard with a towel after washing it!! Before that, I used to wipe really hard to remove the water, but they told me that such friction is truly the worst for the skin. Nowadays, after washing my face, I just lightly cover it with a clean towel to gently pat the moisture away. If you just stick to this for a whole month, the tightness and redness you feel right after washing your face will drastically decrease. It doesn't cost anything, so make sure to put this into practice starting tonight when you wash your face!
