I know EXACTLY what you mean! When I was in high school, I used to get compliments all the time about my face, and then usual question - So what do you wash it with? I just stared blankly, very confused. I washed it with NOTHING but splashes of water from the shower. No soap, no cleanser, no nothing. I didn't even moisturize!
So after that incident, I started using moisturizer because I somehow got the idea that moisturizer would keep my skin younger on the long run. Then that led me to using face wash to wash off the moisture. Then that whole ordeal got even bigger as my face soon became PARCHED. Not only did it feel dry and tight, but my pores were getting bigger. The worst part? Nothing I bought in stores made my face as fresh, clean and HEALTHY as water did.
So I did a whole lot of research and found out why my skin was becoming terrible. The chemicals that they put into face washes, moisturizers, masks, toners, etc, JUST HURT YOUR FACE IN THE LONG RUN. And it makes sense. It's a business. The more people's faces get worse, the more people demand for more products. The cycle goes on. You try a cleanser that's going to wash your acne away. Little do you know it's actually making it worse. What's the next thing you do? Go out to the store and BUY ANOTHER ONE. It's a never ending cycle of harming your face. It never ends until you realize what's making your face worse.
I'm in my early 20's. Only started washing my face at 18 y/o. Ever since then, I've never gotten any compliments about my face anymore. Instead, I ask people what they do to their face. Their reply?
