Face washing is often the core of beautiful face.
Before you apply all those cosmetics or medications
for your acne, experts always tell you to wash your
face.
Cleaning is essential in maintaining beautiful and
healthy skin. And since we always want to put our
“best face forward,” here are several tips that we
compiled on how to properly wash your face.
1.
Remove every trace of make-up/ cosmetic on your
face. Use cotton ball and moisturizing cream to
avoid damaging your skin.
2.
Use lukewarm water. Avoid using too hot and
too cold water that can dry out your skin. This
will also open the pores for deeper cleansing.
3.
Avoid strong or harsh soaps/ cleansers.
Strong soaps can dry your skin and strip off natural
lipids. Choose soap that are mild if you prefer
soap, or you can always choose cleansers that are
soap- free, non- comedogenic, and mild like Cetaphil,
Burt Bee’s or Neutrogena.
4.
Massage face by gently rotating upwards your
middle ring and pinky fingers. Remember that
hard rubbing will actually do more harm than good.
5.
Rinse face well to remove all residue of soap or
cleanser. Residues left behind can actually clog
your pores. Facial cleansers can leave an
invisible residue behind which can clog your pores.
Rinse three times, then rinse again.
6.
Pat dry with soft, non- abrasive towel.
Never ever rub your face.
7.
Use an alcohol- free toner on your face. It
should make your face feel smooth and refreshed.
Astringents and toners with glycolic or alpha
hydroxy acids work the best for toning the face.
These acids actually can reduce the pore size, and
help avoid ingrown hairs. They are aggressive and
have quick results. Remember to look for a product
that is not photosensitive (sensitive to light).
8.
Finish off with moisturizer to replenish the
natural oils that has been lost. Moisturizing is a
necessity. Again, the product with the least amount
of chemical additives is the best. Always use a
light moisturizer on your face after cleansing. For
an intensive moisture treatment use pure vitamin E,
or aloe vera oil. It is available in liquid form, or
just break open a capsule and apply the oil directly
to the skin.
Those are eight simple steps that would help you
keep your face clean and beautiful. Start today for
a more refreshed and beautiful you.
