Q: My face feels really tight after
I wash it. Why?
A: Most likely
you are over cleaning it by washing too often or using a cleanser that is too
strong for your skin. The solution is simple: Go easy. Lather up no more than
twice a day with gentle products like
Noevir's Herbal Skin Care Set or
99 Skin Care Line, and stick with tepid water (too-hot temperatures can over dry skin by
stripping it of natural oils). Rinse thoroughly by splashing face gently with
tepid water no less than 20 times and blotting gently with a clean, damp
washcloth. Balance your skin's pH with Noevir's Balancing Lotion (no drying
alcohol) and then follow up with a generous dose of Noevir's moisturizer.
Save deodorant and antibacterial
soaps, as well as body bars, for below-the-neck cleaning. And skip alcohol-based
toners. They will only further dry out your skin.
