7 aspects of face cleansing: water temperature is very important

Washing our face has become a simple and important thing for us every day. We are outdoors every day, and we are not only attacked by ultraviolet rays, wind and sand, and various radiations, but the pollution in the air will not spare our skin. If you continue like this for a long time without paying attention to cleansing, your skin will soon become rough, greasy, etc. So, how to cleanse your face to benefit your skin? Let me teach you:

1. Clean with neutral or slightly alkaline hand soap

After a day of running around outside, a lot of dust and particles will stick to your face. The first thing you do when you get home is of course to clean your face. However, because your hands are covered in dust and become dry throughout the day, washing your face directly will rub the skin and cause damage. Therefore, the first step in cleaning is to wash your hands first, use a neutral or slightly alkaline hand soap to clean the palms and backs of your hands, and keep your palms soft and moist for the next steps.

Pump-type cleansers are the safest

2. Pump-type foam facial cleanser is not suitable for everyone

Choosing a pump-type cleansing product can prevent the skin from being contaminated by the cleanser, which is safer and cleaner. In order to reduce the friction between hands and face, the foam of facial cleanser should be rich. If you have sensitive skin, you need to increase the amount of facial cleanser to ensure that there is very rich foam. There are some products on the market that can be pressed out directly, which lazy girls can choose, but if your skin is dry, this type of product is not suitable for you.

Rub your hands together to create rich foam

3. Rub in the same direction to create dense and rich foam

Squeeze a sufficient amount of facial cleanser into the palm of your hand, add 2-3 drops of water, and rub your hands to produce rich foam. Be careful to rub in the same direction, otherwise the foam will easily disappear. This step requires a little patience. The more the foam is rubbed, the finer it will be, making it easier for it to fully reach and clean the pores and dead corners. It is best to knead until the foam does not fall off when you turn your hand over.

Focus on the T-zone where sebum is most abundant

4. Focus on massaging the T-zone for 5 minutes, and don’t ignore the gap between the nose wings.

The longer the foam adheres, the easier it is for the sebum to dissolve and fall off, so start foaming from the T-zone where sebum secretion is most active, and massage for 5 minutes. Use your fingertips to gently massage to allow the facial cleanser foam to fully contact the skin. For the sides of the nose where dust is easily trapped and pores are easily clogged, spend more time cleaning with your fingers in circular motions.

Massage with your fingertips in circular motions

5. Make circles from inside to outside for 30 seconds to remove dead skin cells

After cleaning the T zone, you can continue massaging - usually, the foam of the cleanser will basically disappear after 5 minutes of kneading. At this time, you can use the temperature of your fingertips and the remaining moist cleanser to simply massage your cheeks and eyes for half a minute to help promote the shedding of dead skin and stimulate blood circulation.

30-33° warm water facial cleanser

6. Use warm water to clean the foam. The water temperature is very important.

Wash off the cleansing foam. The best temperature for washing your face is 30-33° warm water. You need to adjust the water temperature before washing your face. In addition, the water temperature for our usual bath is generally above 38°. This temperature can actually make the face feel uncomfortable, so try not to let your face touch water when bathing. After using the cleanser, look in the mirror to see if there is any residue left.

Lotion penetrates and cleanses pores

7. Indispensable deep cleaning

For women who spend a long time outdoors, whose skin is seriously polluted, have strong oil secretion, and have large pores, they should add this deep penetration cleansing step after cleansing! In order to allow the lotion to fully and evenly penetrate the skin, you need to follow the steps of cotton pad → light pressure with hands → circular cleansing, and use lotion to further clean dead corners and tighten pores.
