We've Been Using Our Face Wipes All Wrong

Face wipes is the best lazy invention for us gals. When you get home at 2am and are barely functioning, you can rely on one wipe doing the job of a three step skincare routine. Well so we thought. 

It turns out that we should take a moment to think about how we're using these wipes before we just give our face a good rub down. There's a right and wrong way to use skincare wipes, and if you weren't aware that you actually could do it wrong, then you've probably been using them wrong. 

But knowledge is power, and we can now use them correctly thanks to Beverly Hills based dermatologist Debra Luftman.

Luftman told InStyle: "It's important to use your wipe from the forehead down to the jaw, so that you don't end up redistributing oil and bacteria around your face and causing breakouts," says Dr. Luftman.

The Dr. says to leave the worst areas until last: "Finish wiping at your nose, as it's one of the grimiest parts of the face." Then throw out the wipe.

So next time you whip out a face wipe, give a thought to what direction you're wiping that babe in.
