Is it okay to wash your face with your hands?

As people in modern society pay more and more attention to their facial skin, many friends have clearly realized that only by using good cleansing products can the pores of the entire facial skin be more unobstructed, so that subsequent lotions and essences can be fully absorbed. Is it okay to wash your face with your hands? In order to better help everyone solve this problem, please join me in the following learning content.

Is it healthier to wash your face with your hands or with a towel?

From a health perspective, it is best to wash your face with your hands, because the skin on your hands is smoother and more delicate, there is less friction on the skin on your face, and there is no damage to the skin's epidermis; after washing, just wipe off the water droplets with a towel; if you don't go out, you can also let the moisture on your face dry naturally; most people hang their towels in the bathroom, where the environment is relatively humid, so be sure to take them outside to dry in the sun frequently so that the sun can kill the bacteria on them and avoid skin inflammation.

The correct way to wash your face

First: Wash your hands before washing your face

Please wash your hands thoroughly every time before washing your face. Wash your hands with hand sanitizer or soap (sometimes when you are on a business trip), rub them thoroughly (palms and backs of hands) for thirty seconds, then rinse your hands with running water, and then you can start washing your face.

Second: Foam the cleanser thoroughly, massage gently, and avoid key areas

For combination to oily skin, foaming facial cleansers are generally used, such as VICHY's Izumi Cleansing Gel and Clean & Clear Foaming Cleansing Oil. After kneading out the foam, start from the forehead, from top to bottom. No matter where you press, do not exceed thirty times, and do not use too much force, as excessive force will cause cuticle growth.

Face washing massage technique:

On the forehead, use both hands to make circles outwards, and on the cheeks as well, paying attention to the T-zone. On both sides of the nose (up and down), from the nose to the tip of the nose, from the root of the nose to between the eyebrows (up and down), purse your lips, draw circles up and down; eyebrows and the tails of the eyes (draw circles). The T-zone is very prone to acne, but you can’t rub it too hard just because it’s prone to acne.

Third: How many times you wash depends on your own situation

Just as when you drink the water, you know whether it is hot or cold only after you drink it. You should trust your own feelings. Instead of blindly trusting beauty experts, ask yourself whether you feel comfortable and whether you think the experts’ methods are effective.

Face washing habits:

1. Generally, take it once in the morning and evening, once in severe winter and three times in hot summer.

2. If you have been out for a long time and your face feels dusty, wash it twice.

3. In spring and autumn, use a milder lotion-type facial cleanser in the morning and a foam-type facial cleanser with a stronger cleansing effect at night. Moisturizing is the most important.

Fourth: Wash with warm water and then with cold water, alternating between hot and cold to exercise your face

I believe that through our learning above, friends have their own unique insights and more standard answers on whether it is good to wash your face with your hands. Of course, I would also like to remind everyone that because the skin on the face is relatively fragile, we must pay attention to the strength when washing it with our hands. At the same time, we must also use some light techniques, and it is best to combine it with some massage methods, so as to better promote blood circulation in the face.
