What do you use first after washing your face?

Nowadays, many people are exposed to some high-tech, but these electronic products not only bring us convenience, but also bring endless radiation to our bodies, especially our faces. At this time, we must clean our faces to keep them white and tender, without acne or other blackheads. However, the steps after washing the face are also very critical, which directly affects facial care.

●Warm water is best

Warm water is the most suitable cleansing water. Hot or cold water should not be used during the cleansing process. After cleansing, you can use cold water to relax and stimulate the skin and promote blood circulation. Some books mention that cold water can shrink pores, which is unscientific. Lena, director of the Leura Skin Care Center in Missouri, USA, believes that pores are not as easy to open and close as you think.

● Choose gentle cleaning products

Avoid using inferior cleansing products, especially those with high alkaline content. Although this type of cleansing product has strong cleaning power and will make you feel refreshed and clean when used, long-term use can cause great harm to the skin and even lead to skin lesions.

●Choose a soft face towel

The famous beautician Wal Deman believes that if you wash your face with a hard towel, it will be like rubbing your skin with a kitchen cloth, leaving tiny scratches that are invisible to the naked eye, making the skin rough, accumulating bacteria, and even causing inflammation. Therefore, choose a very soft facial towel and wipe the skin gently and caressingly, but do not wipe it too dry, leaving a moist film on the skin.

● Be gentle

Experts agree that the cleansing process must be careful and gentle, especially avoiding rough cleaning movements and habitual rubbing, pulling, and wiping, so as not to damage the skin's fibrous tissue, which can keep the skin elastic and compact.

Water consumption

How much water is needed to completely wash off the makeup left on the skin? Theoretically, 28 basins of water are needed, which may scare you and you may think it is difficult to do. Here is a reminder that you should use as much water as possible for cleansing.

● Always use lotion

After cleansing the skin, the natural sebum film on the skin surface has completely disappeared. If this state persists frequently, it will cause rough and aging skin. Therefore, using a neutral lotion with moisturizing and astringent effects after washing the face is an essential part of skin care, especially for middle-aged and elderly women whose skin secretion ability decreases. This part is even more important.

The above article tells you in detail what to use first after washing your face. Basically, you must use some gentler toner after washing your face, because only in this way can your face remain hydrated. If you don’t use toner, your skin may become particularly rough.
