Tips for Washing Your Face
Washing your face is by no means rocket science, but there are still some right and wrong ways in doing it. Here are some quick tips on how to wash your face properly.
- Ensure that your hands are clean by properly washing them with soap first. This is a very important step that sometimes people might overlook. The point of washing your face is to clean it. If your hands are dirty then you are just transferring bacteria or anything else on your hands to your face.
- Wet your face with slightly warm water first before applying the facial cleanser. The reasoning is that warm water helps open up your pores which allows the dirt in your face to be cleaned off more easily.
- Wet your hands and apply a small amount of your facial cleanser to it. Then just rub your hands together to create a good lather before applying to the face. For those using bar soap, sometimes they like to rub the soap on their faces directly. This is not recommended since the dirt on your face gets transferred to the soap and the next time you use it, you may be rubbing it back on. Instead, rub the bar soap in your hands and then apply the lather to your face.
- Gently rub the soap content on the different areas of your face for a few seconds each. It is important you cover all the areas of your face to ensure all the oil and dirt on your face is being removed.
- At the end, wash your face off with cold water. Cold water helps closes the pores and leaves your skin tighter.
- When drying your face off with a towel, ensure that the towel is clean. Or else, you are just transferring bacteria and dirt right back to your face after cleaning it.
