You're Not Saving Your Face for LastHow it's hurting: If you're taking advantage of your giant steamer of a shower and washing your face under the showerhead instead of at the sink, you can pat yourself on the back. But if you're washing your face before you finish your hair, you're losing points: According to Martin, the runoff of products (not designed for your face) can clog open pores leading to unwanted breakouts along the hairline.
The fix: Do wash your face in the shower, especially if you're pimple-prone. Sebum, the oily mess that is the root of acne, liquefies in the shower. However, don't wash your face until you're completely through with shampooing, conditioning or deep conditioning hair and have done your final rinse down. Use a moisturizing, creamy cleanser formulated for your face -- don't even think about using body wash or soap on that delicate complexion.
