Kitchen tools and women's cooking behavior can affect their skin in a specific way, especially when cooking and frying daily.
In this context, recent medical reports have revealed a common daily habit that many people engage in in the kitchen, unaware that it may be a direct cause of acne, skin irritation, and even a failure in their daily skincare routine, despite adhering to the best skincare products.
British dermatologist Dr. Helena Watson also explained in an interview with Plumbworld, a British home improvement company, that exposure to cooking oils and airborne fats during food preparation can lead to clogged pores and the appearance of pimples, especially in the jaw and forehead areas.
A Common Cooking Habit
She added, "Most people don't associate their cooking routine with the health of their skin, but the fumes and grease rising into the air don't just remain in the kitchen; they also settle on our skin, hair, and even the pillows we sleep on."

Watson explained that many of the patients she saw were unaware that this simple household habit was a hidden cause of their persistent skin problems, even when using high-quality skincare products.
In a survey conducted by Plumbworld, 63% of participants admitted they didn't wash their face or hair after cooking, even when frying food. Forty percent admitted they didn't use an extractor fan or extractor while cooking, which leaves oil and fat particles trapped in the air and on the skin.
Washing Your Face After Cooking
According to the New York Post, the experience of Sophie, 29, from Manchester, was clear evidence of the impact of this habit. She had tried dozens of skincare products to no avail, until she read Watson's advice and started washing her face after every time she cooked.

Regarding this, she said, "I was surprised to find that it wasn't creams or hormones, but just simple negligence after cooking... and the results were amazing."
In the same vein, skincare experts have emphasized that skincare isn't limited to creams and lotions, but extends to everyday behaviors, even those we consider harmless. The environment around us, especially in the kitchen, may be a hidden cause of skin and hair problems.
