The Right Way to Wash Your Face
You do it like clockwork. Every night before bed, you wash your face. It’s a habit that is as routine to you as brushing your teeth and you’ve done it since you were a little kid…but are you doing it properly? It just involves 3 simple steps but doing them too quick or not at all could be doing more bad to your skin than good.
Here’s the breakdown:
Step 1
Start by rinsing your face with lukewarm, not hot, water. Hot water can be drying and very harsh to your delicate skin. The warm water will be soothing to your skin while breaking down the dirt.
Step 2
With your face wet, apply a gentle cleanser to your skin. Our Clean & Clear Purifying Cleanser will hydrate and nourish without drying or irritating, and is gently exfoliating. Massage the cleaner in small circles starting at the center of your face and move outward. Your t-zone can produce a bit more oil, so concentrate on that area a little longer. Don’t forget to massage the cleanser by your hairline and jawline, which are other areas you may have sweat. If done properly, this step should take between 30-60 seconds. You can choose to use an exfoliator 1-2 times per week, but be gentle. Your skin will reap better results if you do this gently instead of pressing hard, which could damage your sensitive skin.
Step 3
Thoroughly rinse your face by splashing lukewarm water to remove the cleanser and using your hands to wipe it away. Pay special attention to your nose, ears, and edges of your face to ensure all cleanser is removed. It’s important to make sure all cleanser is removed because if left on, it can lead to build up, which can cause blemishes. Once all soap is removed, blot dry with a towel. Never wipe with a cloth to remove soap or dry your face. Wiping can irritate and stretch skin, which can cause wrinkles.
