  • Face Washing Mistakes You’re Probably Making — Dermatologists Share What Actually Works

    Face Washing Mistakes You’re Probably Making — Dermatologists Share What Actually Works
    Jul 3 2025
    In this episode of The After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid dive into one of the most essential yet often misunderstood skincare practices—how to properly wash your face. Whether you’re a skincare minimalist or a 10-step-routine devotee, this expert-led conversation breaks down everything you need to know about cleansing, from technique and timing to ingredients and tools. Emma and Ellie address the biggest face-washing myths (like the idea that pores "open and close" or that cold water is better) and explain why a good cleansing routine supports, rather than replaces, your active skincare treatments. They discuss the evolution of facial cleansers from harsh soap bars to modern, skin-friendly synthetic detergents (syndets), highlighting top dermatologist-recommended products like the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, and SVR oil cleansers. You'll learn: Why washing your face twice a day matters (hint: sweat, SPF, pollution, and overnight treatments like slugging) The science behind syndets and why they're better than traditional soaps How to double cleanse properly—especially if you wear makeup or SPF Common mistakes people make when washing their face (yes, even using food-based DIY cleansers!) Why scrubs and facial gadgets may be doing more harm than good The difference between mechanical vs. chemical exfoliators—and when to use them Ideal products and routines for oily, dry, acne-prone, or sensitive skin types. Plus, they bust outdated cleansing habits from the 80s and 90s and offer practical advice for teens, parents, and anyone overwhelmed by skincare TikTok trends. _____ Subscribe to The After Hours Skin Clinic on your favorite podcast app, and don’t forget to leave a review if you’ve learned something new.
