by Unknown April 21, 2017 How To's & DIY

Washing your face may seem a no-brainer activity because everybody do it. But then sometimes you go on overnight trips with your girls and see how different their routines are with yours. So you start to wonder if there is even a proper way to clean your face. Read on these tips on how to do it correctly. The bottom line is you have to make sure that your face is always cleaned, toned, and moisturized.

Remove Makeup

If you're wearing makeup, remove it with micellar water or any oil-based makeup remover because washing your face do not remove the makeup grimes completely leaving some residues on your face that  could lead to clogged pores and breakout.

Wash Your Face With Lukewarm Water

Do not try to wash your face with hot water because it opens up pores. You only need warm water to lift up the dirt that stuck to your skin. If you have dry skin, use a cream-based cleanser like Olay; if you have normal/fair skin, Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser will suffice; if you have oily skin, use a foaming cleanser like Pond's; and if you have an acne-prone skin, use Safeguard Derma Sense. Simply splash some lukewarm water on your face then use your fingers in circular motion to apply your chosen medium of cleanser.

Exfoliate Every Now And Then

The next step is exfoliate your face so that all the dirt and dead skin cells will be removed. A little reminder, though, do not exfoliate daily because doing it often may irritate your skin causing it to dry out. You can do this once weekly.
