Splashing some water on your face, rubbing in cleanser, and rinsing may seem like the proper way to wash your face, but that is not true. That is the wrong way and may cause problems to your skin in the future. Here are a few ways to fix it!
- Use the Right Water Temperature.
Hot or Cold water may feel nice on your skin, but it really is damaging your delicate skin. The best water temperature is lukewarm water. If you use hot water, it will break your skin tissue and make your skin dry out faster. Even for those who have problems with their skin, this will make it more vulnerable in breaking out or reacting.
- Make sure you are using the correct cleanser.
When you are searching for a skin cleanser, make sure you consider your skin type and problems you have with your skin. If you have dry skin, you need a gentle cleanser. If you have oily skin, you need foamy cleansers. Using the wrong skin cleanser can make your skin become worse.
- Look for super gentle soaps if you have sensitive skin
For those who have sensitive skin, you might be ordered to use bars of soap. There are plenty of bars of soaps that are made for skin, and that are very gentle. Especially with sensitive skin, gentle cleansers will make sure you are getting the best out of your cleansers and respecting your skin. Harsh cleansers will seriously damage your skin.
- Do not wash your face very often.
Washing your face is very good. But if you are washing it more than twice a day, it actually is exposing your skin to more damage. Also, your skin may become more sensitive. If you wash it often, it will become more prone to skin infections and will continue to produce more oil. Just make sure you wash your face after workouts or putting on makeup, but do not do it too often.
- Try not to scrub.
If you scrub your skin, it will harshly ruin your skin cells. Your skin cells are very delicate and sensitive. You must be gentle with it, to make sure it is cleansing yet safe and protected. Try 20 seconds on lathering your skin, but not too aggressively. Use your fingertips in a circular motion on your face. Also, do not forget about your T-zone as it is hard to cleanse areas around it.
