When it comes to washing your skin, it seems like a simple issue but can be complicated if done incorrectly. When cleansing, your cleanser shouldn’t cause your skin to feel dry, or tight, or leave your skin feeling sensitive.
To correctly wash your face, follow these steps;
-
- Use lukewarm water to wet your face.
- Use about 1/3 of your index finger length of product.
- Rub your hands together and apply the cleanser evenly to your skin.
- Massage cleanser in a gentle manner in a circular motion, do this for about 30 seconds and if you are using an active ingredient for acne, do this for about 2 minutes.
- Then rinse thoroughly ensuring that no product remains on the skin, be sure to check the side of your face and wash it off as it is an area that some neglect.
- Pat dry with a clean face cloth.
A great tip for cleansing, is when patting your skin dry, use a separate washcloth and keep it dry.
