All women covet clear skin free of blemishes. But most of us get the basics of a beauty regimen wrong. Sometimes we don't realize that our face washing itself is faulty. Here are a few beauty secrets that you can incorporate into your skin care routine.

Washing face with hot water

Never wash your face with hot water. It's advisable to use normal temperature water for washing your face as it does not leave you with skin damage. The water temperature should not be too hot or too cold. Lukewarm water is the best to remove dirt and grime from your facial skin.

Exfoliation

Removing dead skin is no doubt important, but don't overdo it. You can exfoliatiate your skin twice in a week to keep it healthy and smooth. Most of us tend to be in the two extreme when it comes to exfoliation – either we exfoliate too much or don't exfoliate at all. While the former leaves your skin rough and the latter gives skin problems like acne and blackheads.

Remove makeup

Going off to sleep without removing makeup is the greatest skin sin you can commit. It's vital to remove makeup before hitting the bed for the night as your skin gets suffocated. Your skin needs to breathe and to renew itself. Skin renewal and reinvigoration takes place when you sleep at night, without makeup.

Facial wipes

While it's important to keep your skin clean, using facial wipes too many times during the day will leave it rough and irritated. It's better to wash your face with facewash if you need to clean your face more than twice in a day.
