Washing your face is one of those tasks that get automatic. We do it almost without realizing it and often without taking proper care. Sometimes problems such as excess oil and very dry skin are resolved when you change habits when cleaning the skin. And so it is high time to learn how to properly cleanse your face.
Wash gently
To clean your face, you need water and a soap that suits your skin type. Only that. Ideally, make gentle circular motions on the skin as it is the soap that usually does the heavy lifting, ie no rubbing the skin. Then, be sure to rinse thoroughly so that no soap residue is left on the skin.
Wash your face only 2x a day
No matter if your skin is oily or dry, it is necessary to wash your face with soap and water twice a day, morning and evening. More than that, the skin's sebaceous glands become overloaded and produce more sebum, leaving the skin greasy. Therefore, washing is often not recommended for those with oily skin.
Cold water: an ally of your skin
When the weather cools, does the water temperature rise? Wrong! Ideally, always wash your face with ice water, which has a great revitalizing effect on the skin, besides closing the pores and preventing you from getting oily face throughout the day. Hot water removes the healthy natural oils from your skin and attacks it. In the bath and at the time of washing your hair, opt for cold water as well.
Remove makeup before washing your face
Ideally you should use a makeup remover and remove all make up before washing. This is a guarantee that you will sleep even with clean skin and that no remnant of cosmetic remains. For eyes that are more sensitive, use a proper makeup remover for this area, ok?
Exfoliate every week
This is once or twice a week at most (depending on what your dermatologist indicates). Exfoliation makes skin smoother as it removes dead cells. But when it is done several times it assaults the skin and withdraws its defense, drying it out. But beware: skin with inflamed pimples requires more care at this time, so consulting the dermatologist is essential.
Use the towel gently
Ideally, each person in the household should have their own face cloth, which needs to be changed several times a week to prevent many bacteria from stopping in it. And when it's time to dry, use it to press the skin, not to rub it. Rubbing the towel does the effect appear with that of exfoliation? and this you have seen that should not be done every day!
More tips to take care of the skin of your face
- Do not sleep with cosmetics (makeup, creams) on the skin other than night cream.
- Use astringent tonic after washing the skin. It is great for removing impurities that didn't come out with soap and water.
- Do not use body creams on the face. And that goes for sunscreen. The skin of the face calls for softer, less oily products.
- Spray thermal water once or twice throughout the day on the skin. It moisturizes and refreshes without weighing.
- Use primer before doing make. It helps to close and minimize skin pores.
- Ask your dermatologist for help before buying cosmetics. Buying on your own or on the recommendation of a friend is not a good one!
