Right Way to Wash Your Face: 7 Mistakes You’re Making

The extensive amount of face wash options can be overwhelming, there are lotions, milks, scrubs, foaming mousses, oils, wipes, motorized brushes, and more. However, even with all the advances in products, many of us are still sticking to the same face-wash techniques we grew up with. But now, you will know better. Educate yourself against these # mistakes you’re making and get squeaky clean skin.
Mistake 1: Wash and Go
Washing your face isn’t just a one-step process. Cleansers don’t usually remove all traces of makeup, so you’re in danger of leaving your pores clogged if you don’t remove makeup first. Use an oil-based cream, a cleansing oil, or even a makeup remover wipe to dissolve sunscreen and makeup. Then follow with lukewarm water and dime-size amount of cleanser on your fingers or a clean, damn washcloth. Rinse and dry with a soft paper towel if you’re acne-prone.
Mistake 2: Closing Your Pores
Sorry, ladies, but you can’t open or “close” your pores by massaging your face or splashing it with cold water. As a matter of fact, extreme heat can exaggerate problems like rosacea and redness. However, mild steam can help soften hardened oil in pores. So, it’s still not a bad idea to cleanse in the shower.
That said, mild steam can help soften hardened oil in pores, so it’s never a bad idea to cleanse in the shower.
Mistake 3: Picking Cleanser According to Skin Type
No matter what type of skin you have, there are certain ingredients that should never be in your face wash, including: fragrance, which can be irritating; parabens, since they’re potentially toxic preservatives; or harsh soap, it’s drying. If the cleanser fits that bill, it should work for any skin type, and the formula itself, whether cream, lotion, foaming, etc. is more of a personal preference. However, people with dry skin may prefer formulas with extra moisturizers, like glycerin or shea butter. And those with oily skin may want a foaming wash, since it leaves skin feeling superclean.
Mistake 4: Grainy Scrubs to Exfoliate and Smooth
A salicylic or glycolic acid cleanser is much gentler and more effective than grainy scrubs which are often too harsh on your skin. The thick grainy formulas can actually exaggerate the appearance of pores as well. Depending on your skin type and sensitivity, use the salicylic or glycolic acid cleansers once or twice a week, and adjust depending on how your skin is looking and feeling.
Mistake 5: Using Toner
An alcohol-based toner strips your skin of natural oils. Gentle toners calm the skin and balance pH levels, but most cleansers take care of this step for you.If you must use a toner, stick with gentle, alcohol-free versions.
Mistake 6: Brushing Your Skin Daily
A brush removes oil, dirt, and dead skin better than your hands can, plus it’s gentler than most exfoliating cleansers or scrubs. In short, they are great, but they should be used sparingly. Constant exfoliation can cause inflammation. In addition, make sure you rinse and air-dry after use to keep the brush bacteria-free.
Mistake 7: Spending a Fortune
You know those top-quality ingredients, like retinol or antioxidants? Don’t waste money on them for products that you’ll just be washing down the drain. Save the pricier ingredients for leave-on products like serums and creams and always read beauty product reviews before going to buy any beauty product, because they are most effective when concentrated on the skin.

From Broken to Whole: The Radical Reawakening Behind The XI Code

Elle dela Cruz
Most healing begins with the assumption that something is broken. That the fix lies in the right therapist, diet, retreat, or ritual. Patchwork solutions for a fragmented self.
But for clients of The XI Code, the breakthrough did not come by fixing what was broken, it came by remembering what was never damaged to begin with.
It is not a spiritual placebo or self-help remix, rather a recalibration, a return, a radical stripping away of every distortion that ever claimed authority over who you are. Founded by Masati Sajady, The XI Code has become a sanctuary for those who sensed there had to be more and now live the proof of it.
This is not talking about polite gratitude or glow-up affirmations, these are accounts of full-system transformation, physical regeneration, identity coherence, and a kind of inner homecoming that makes every previous attempt feel like a rehearsal.
“This isn’t about self-help,” says Masati. “This is about self-realization. There is a version of you untouched by pain, trauma, or time and that is what XI reveals.”
Remembering the Self Beneath the Static
Those who enter the XI space often describe their experience not as something new they learned but as something ancient they finally remembered. One client shared: “I listened to Masati’s podcasts during a bottomless depression. I swear it pulled me from the dark to the light.”
But the words they use are not mystical or out of reach, rather grounded. “I feel safe in my body.” “I’ve come home.” “I finally see myself.”
This is not a performance of healing, it is a quiet, cellular knowing.
“I survived death and decoded life,” Masati explains. “I returned with the blueprint for those ready to rejuvenate the body, unlock peak performance, and evolve humanity.” Those words, radical to some, feel like a memory to others. As if, somewhere deep inside, they always knew this was possible.
When the Body Starts Listening
While XI is not a medical protocol, many clients describe physical transformations that coincide with their inner shift. One wrote: “I’ve begun rendering myself as my highest form, right here, in this space and time continuum.”
Another called it “the most effective healing method” they had found after years of traveling the world for answers. But the common thread was coherence. A recalibration across dimensions: physical, emotional, energetic, and ancestral. It is about resolving distortion at the origin point.
Rewriting the Lens of Reality
After engaging with The XI Code, many report not just feeling better but seeing life differently. Like a veil lifted. Like their perceptual field was reset.
One wrote: “My whole life is changing in every way and it’s just unfolding on its own. Every day, synchronicities. It’s like magic.”
Another put it simply: “I found my home and I wasn’t even looking.” Again and again, the word home appears in these testimonials not as a destination but as a state of being.
Masati explains this with precision: “XI doesn’t upgrade the version of you that’s broken. It reveals the YOU that was never broken to begin with.”
A Quiet, Powerful Community
Though The XI Code is not marketed as a group program, many clients describe a shared energetic field as being held by a collective intelligence moving through similar layers.
“I can’t wait to wake up and see how much more beautiful I’ve become,” one said not from ego but from evolution.
Because the work does not stop when the session ends. The system keeps unfolding, recalibrating, and upgrading.
Not for Everyone But For the Ready
Masati is unapologetic: “The XI journey requires the courage to see Truth on all levels, in all arenas, and to accept responsibility for the Life you’ve been gifted.”
It is not for those seeking a new story to believe in, rather for those ready to remove every distortion that ever told them they weren’t enough.
And what remains? The version of you before distortion and the one that was always whole.
You do not need to become someone new. You need to meet who you were before the noise.
