It is so easy to be forceful when washing your face. We are in a hurry and want to get it done. And, when there are bumps on your face or body, it’s easy to think that you should scrub them off. Or, if you press hard, that will get them out. But the opposite is true. When you use harsh scrubs or use a lot of pressure, the skin gets irritated and as a result, it thickens. The thicker skin makes it harder for bumps to come out. The best thing to do is to gently wash your face with a washcloth and a mild cleanser like Cleanse or Balancing Cleanse, which will lightly exfoliate the skin. And always follow with a hydrator, like Hydrate or Hydrate Oil Free.
