How to wash your face properly

We wash our faces every day, it is an essential cleaning task. Some people may rub their face vigorously when washing it, while others may just rinse it with water. In fact, washing your face is not that simple, and you can’t take it lightly. Improper face washing can damage your facial skin and make it look rougher. If you wash your face correctly, it can whiten your facial skin and make it look delicate and elastic.

Myth: Products that produce rich foam can clean more thoroughly. Correction: Foam cleansing products usually contain surfactants and more alkaline ingredients, and have stronger cleaning ability. They are suitable for oily skin, or for special local cleansing of the "triangle area" of combination skin. People with dry or neutral skin or who use foam cleansing products excessively in dry weather will often make their skin drier and tighter, sometimes accompanied by mild itching and peeling.

Correct approach: Except for people with particularly oily skin, the cleansing effect of some skin care muds and cleansing lotions actually uses the physical oil absorption principle of kaolin or bentonite, or uses the interfacial active fusion effect of cleansing lotions to fuse oil and water to remove them. Therefore, these products also have a cleansing effect, and are relatively more moisturizing than foam-type cleansing products.

If you want to thoroughly clean the stains remaining in the pores, use cleansing products, make circles and press gently. This can completely dissolve dirt and help metabolize the exfoliation of dead skin cells without hurting the skin.

Some people may be accustomed to washing their faces with very hot water, thinking that washing their faces with sugar water can soften the cuticles. In fact, this practice is extremely wrong. Washing your face with very hot water not only fails to soften the cuticle, but also damages the stratum corneum of the facial skin, destroys the protective film on the surface of the facial skin, and enlarges the pores, which will cause the skin on the face to be rough and dull.
