Troubleshooting signs of over-cleansing and when to change course
Your skin feels tight or stingy within 5–10 minutes of washing, even after switching to a “gentle” cleanser. You see both shine and flakes together, especially around the nose, chin or between the brows. Simple products like a basic moisturiser or sunscreen suddenly start to burn on application. You are washing your face more than twice a day or using a foaming cleanser after every commute or workout. Breakouts worsened soon after you introduced a new strong face wash, scrub or cleansing brush in winter. Limit cleansing to once at night and, if needed, once in the morning; skip any mid-day face washes unless you are very sweaty.
