A new tendency on social networks called “Wash face like a man” gets millions of views and laughter.
It started when Martha’s creator posted a video on Instagram, showing how men often wash their faces just soap and water and have a clear skin.
Meanwhile, many women use several skin care products every day and still fight skin problems.
A video that has more than 4.3 million views has caused a lot of discussions about skin care procedures and what really works.
The Internet also considers it fun, with comments like “Why are they so aggressively wash eyeballs?” And “When I use this method, my skin looks so good.”
Others joked: “Men treat their face as a carplass glass and still have the perfect skin,” and “my man uses soap for utensils and has nerves to glow.”
So what’s the truth about this trend? Is there enough masculine simple procedures, are there still in history?
Experts explain why the soap face just soap may not be the best idea for everyone.
Why soap is not always the best choice
D -R Anil K. MINZ, Senior Dermatologist in Asia Hospital Marenga in Faridabad, says ordinary soap can be good for normal skin, but it can cause problems for those who have dry or sensitive skin.
“Ordinary soaps can deprive natural oils from the skin,” he explains. This can leave some areas such as beard, ears and eyebrows dry and irritated. People with dry skin, eczema or allergies should be especially careful.
Even people with ordinary skin can use simple skin care, taking into account their skin type and season. Dr. Mins adds that expensive procedures are not always needed. Taking care of your skin with the right products, it can be of great importance.
What happens to your skin pH balance?
D -R Harsonsran Caur, Counselor -Dermatologist and Medical Advisor to Kaya Limited, explains that most alkaline soaps, while our skin prefers to be a little sour, with a pH about 5.5. “If you use soap on the face, it can disturb the natural balance of the skin pH,” she says. This can lead to dryness, tightness, redness and even more breakthroughs over time.
Facial cleansers are designed so that they are fragile and correspond to the natural pH of the skin, so they cleanse without damaging the protective skin barrier. Some people with oily skin can sometimes use soap, especially in hot and humid weather because their skin produces more oil. But even oily skin can become dry and irritated when hard soap is used.
What to do?
If you have dry, sensitive or prone skin acne, it is better to avoid using regular soap on the face. Instead, select a soft cleanser that fits your skin type. This will help keep your skin balanced and healthy without depriving natural oils.
The tendency to “wash your face as a person” are ridiculous and linked, but it also reminds that skin care is not one size. Simple men’s procedures can work for some, but many need more care to keep the skin healthy and comfortable.
The key is understanding your skin and choosing products that support its needs.
