● Keep your face towel clean and change it regularly.

● Use lukewarm water, not hot or cold, to wash your face throughout the day.

● When drying your face with a towel, do not rub it harshly to avoid stripping natural oils that protect your skin and reduce inflammation. Vigorous rubbing can also cause wrinkles and sagging.

● Remove makeup before washing your face.

● Avoid using ordinary soap on your face as it can dry out your skin, accelerating skin aging.

● When working at home or returning from outside, wash your hands thoroughly before washing your face to prevent transferring dirt and particles from your hands to your face, which increases the chances of pimples and inflammation.

● Don't over-wash your face to retain natural oils, especially in winter when our skin tends to be drier.

● Wet wipes aren't sufficient for cleaning the face; you should wash your face with water as well.
