HYGIENE MYTH #1: WASHING

The more you wash the better → nope! 

  • More washing dries out the skin.
  • This causes the oil glands underneath to make extra oil.
  • This just makes the skin greasier, increasing the chance of pimples.
  • In the scalp, overdrying causes oily hair and dandruff.

How you wash matters too: Beware of scrubbing too hard, because this can make the skin splotchy, red, and more sensitive.
