My face feels tight after washing with facial cleanser

The purpose of washing your face with facial cleanser is to remove the oil and dust on your face and make your face cleaner. However, please note that you can use facial cleanser to wash your face once in the morning and once in the evening. Do not use facial cleanser to wash your face frequently. You can rinse it with clean water. Do not rub it hard when washing, so as not to damage the skin's natural protective film, resulting in dry and hard face after washing.

It is best to do it once in the morning and evening every day, and be sure not to rub hard when cleansing. Because facial skin has a natural barrier and moisturizing effect, it can block irritants from the outside world. However, when the skin is over-cleaned, important lipids and cell components will be lost, resulting in the weakening of the skin's own barrier and moisturizing functions, which is extremely harmful.

Moreover, a face that has been scrubbed vigorously not only fails to retain moisture, but may also cause allergies to any cream applied to the face, ranging from mild rashes to complete peeling, and even causing stubborn skin inflammation.

Important Tips

When using a facial cleanser, it is best not to use multiple cleansers at the same time. Because improper mixing can easily cause excessive irritation to the skin, leading to dehydration, dryness, and loss of luster, causing unnecessary damage to the skin.

First: Don’t expect facial cleanser to whiten your skin

Facial cleanser is one type of cleansing product. Others include facial soap, facial powder, facial mousse, cleansing water, etc., depending on the dosage form.

Because facial cleansers do not stay on the face for a long time, even though moisturizing, nourishing, whitening and other ingredients can be added, they cannot stay on the skin for a long time and it is difficult to fully exert their claimed functions. For example, if you have a strong moisturizing demand, you need to use moisturizing cream or essence in the subsequent steps to better exert the moisturizing effect.

Moisturizing facial cleansers often add ingredients such as glycerin, butylene glycol, potassium glycyrrhizinate, lactic acid, sodium hyaluronate, etc. to achieve the purpose of being gentle and non-irritating during cleansing, and moisturizing without drying out the skin after cleansing.

Most facial cleansers with whitening and exfoliating functions contain a certain concentration of fruit acid or BHA to soften the cuticle and help exfoliate dead skin cells. It is somewhat irritating, so people with sensitive skin should use it with caution. In comparison, moisturizing facial cleansers contain more moisturizing ingredients, such as butylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, etc., and a certain amount of lipid ingredients can also be added to maintain the needs of the skin surface.
