Do I need to wash my face before using a cleanser?

Be sure to clean your face when washing it. Clean skin looks clear, rosy and shiny. Generally, you should clean your skin before using skin care products so that the skin pores can be unobstructed and absorb the nutrients of skin care products. Some people do not wash their face before using cleansing cream, while others will wash their face before using cleansing cream. Many people don’t know whether they need to wash their face before using cleansing cream. Do you need to wash your face before using cleansing cream? Let’s take a look.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly

Always wash your face with clean hands, and always wash your hands first, then your face.

2. Use warm water

If the water temperature is too high, it will wash away too much oil from your face and make your skin dry. If the water temperature is too low, the pores will shrink and the cleansing effect will be affected. Therefore, warm water is best.

3. Avoid excessive cleansing

Using too much cleansing cream to cleanse your face will cause certain harm to the skin. Although it is important to wash away the oil, you must wash your face in moderation and not wash away the skin's natural protective film. It is important to choose the right cleansing method and cleanser for your skin.

4. Cleanse thoroughly after the first cleansing

Generally, you should use a cleansing cream to remove makeup first, then use a cleansing milk, and finally wash it off thoroughly with warm water.

5. Rub out rich foam

When using facial cleanser, you cannot apply it directly on your face. You should first rub it into rich foam in your hands and then apply it on your face. This can reduce irritation to the skin and protect the skin.

If you use too little cleansing cream, it will affect the cleansing effect, and too much will cause damage to the skin. The most important thing when using cleanser is to create rich foam.

7. Wash along the direction of skin growth

If you rub your face up and down vigorously when washing it, it will damage your skin and even cause it to lose elasticity. It should be washed from bottom to top and from inside to outside with appropriate force.

8. Finally, use cold water

Finally, rinse your face with cool water and pat gently to enhance the elasticity of your skin.

9. Use moderate force when wiping your face with a towel

After washing your face, rub it with moderate force. Do not rub it hard to avoid damaging the skin due to excessive friction.

2. How to wash your face cleanly

1. Use a wet towel

A towel that has been wet for a long time is a good breeding ground for various microorganisms. If you wash or wipe your face with a wet towel, you are applying all kinds of bacteria to your face. Therefore, the towel should be kept clean and dry.

2. Wash your face with hot water

Many people feel tight and uncomfortable after washing their face with hot water and soap. This is because hot water has the ability to completely remove the protective film on the face. In fact, even in the cold winter, you don’t need to wash your face with hot water. You can just use cold water to wash away the dust on your face.

3. Let your face air dry naturally after washing

Many women wait for their face to dry naturally after washing it. However, if it evaporates naturally, it will cool the skin and cause blood vessels to constrict, which will lead to dry and peeling skin and prone to wrinkles. Therefore, after washing your face, use toner immediately and then use a moisturizing cream.

4. Use facial cleanser to clean your face

When washing your face after applying makeup, you should first use liquid makeup remover and then wash your face with facial cleanser. However, facial cleansers can only wash away hydrophilic moisturizers and sweat, sebum, and aging stratum corneum cells. Only cleansing oil can clean makeup more thoroughly and remove dirt remaining deep inside.

5. The better the facial cleanser, the better the beauty effect

If a facial cleanser contains too many functional ingredients, the skin will not be cleansed thoroughly. At the same time, if the skin is not protected in any way, too many functional ingredients entering the pores will increase the burden on the skin. Therefore, a facial cleanser only needs to cleanse thoroughly and moisturize the skin.

6. Use a wash basin

After the interaction between hands and face, the water for washing face will become more and more turbid. It is better to wash your face directly with running water in your hands. Rub your hands clean first, and then wash your face with your hands. This is cleaner.

As we all know, because the facial skin has a large number of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, the skin is constantly synthesizing a natural "high-end beauty cream" to form an invisible protective film. At the same time, it is slightly acidic and has a powerful bactericidal and skin care effect. However, if you use alkaline soap, it will destroy its protective effect. At the same time, it will stimulate the sebaceous glands and cause more "oil production". That is to say, the more you use soap to remove oil, the more oil the sebaceous glands will produce.
