A facial cleanser removes sweat, oil, foundation, sebum, etc. from your face. It can completely remove oil paint, loose powder, lipstick, eyebrow pencil marks, etc. It is especially suitable for removing eye shadow.

The metabolism of the skin causes waste products such as sebum and dead keratinocytes to be discharged from the pores, and the residual cosmetics, dust and other pollutants cause a lot of dirt on the pores. Therefore, the face wash we choose should be able to remove these impurities.

How to use facial cleanser correctly?

1. Appropriate water temperature

Many people have this misunderstanding: the oil on the face needs to be washed with hot water. As we all know, this is a completely wrong view. To really cleanse your skin, you need to wash your face with lukewarm water that will open your pores without destroying the skin's natural oil layer. Therefore, the first step in washing your face is to prepare warm water that is slightly warmer than the epidermis of your skin.

2. Stir the facial cleanser until foamy

First, moisten your face with lukewarm water. Squeeze an appropriate amount of facial cleanser in the palm of your hand, add a small amount of water and knead in the palm of your hand to create a rich lather. Remember to make a thick lather first. Do not apply the cleanser directly to the face, otherwise the skin on the face will be damaged. Only tiny facial cleanser bubbles remove dirt from pores and have a cleansing effect. If it is not fully foamed, it can easily cause skin problems such as acne.

3. Gentle massage

Apply foam evenly to face and massage in circular motions. The order is forehead, temples, nose, cheeks and chin. Make 18 circles on the entire face to ensure that the easily overlooked details such as the eyebrows and the sides of the nose are fully massaged.

4. Thoroughly cleanse the face wash foam

After massaging, rinse the foam with warm water. A full face wash requires about 15 repeated rinses. If the corners of the mouth, between the eyebrows, the sides of the nose, and the hairline fail to wash off the residue of the facial cleanser, it can lead to acne. Be careful not to rub your skin too hard with a towel, this skin pulling can cause wrinkles and accelerate skin aging.

5. Apply cold water to your face

The final step is to rinse the face with ice water with both hands for about 10 Second-rate. If you want to increase the shrinking effect of pores, you can choose a towel soaked in cold water and apply it to your face for 15 seconds. This method can not only shrink pores, but also smooth the blood circulation of the face and reduce the occurrence of acne. Once this step is complete, the entire facial cleansing process is complete and subsequent skin care products can be applied.

What are the precautions for using facial cleanser?

1. Choose facial cleanser and treat different skin types differently

Face washes come in different textures. Don't be satisfied with the temptation of packaging, touch, and brand. Choose the most important for your skin type. The face wash is creamy or gel-like, has a very thick lather and feels refreshing after application, a favorite for oily skin. A common advantage of face washes and non-foaming face washes is that they are hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive women. Although the cleansing mousse is a transparent liquid, it is recommended for dry skin due to its delicate foam and smooth hand feel. Cleansing soaps combine cleansing and moisturizing properties to dispel the "high alkaline" myth, but are not recommended for dry skin.

2. The water temperature is required, and the massage is in order

The temperature of the wash water is very important, it is best to wash your face with lukewarm water. If the water temperature is too high, the pores will become larger, and the natural moisturizing oil in the pores will be lost. If the water temperature is too low, the oil stains on the face will not be washed off. When massaging, apply to the entire face in circular motions from cheeks to forehead, and finally massage around the eyes, corners of the mouth and chin without pulling the skin too hard. To get very good cleaning results, the time needs to be controlled within 3 minutes. It is recommended to wash your face with cold water with both hands about 20 times, which can tighten pores and promote facial blood circulation.

3. The cleaning should be comprehensive, and the main blind spots should be strengthened

Don't assume you've filled your entire face with face wash and be aware of blind spots that tend to hide dirt. The T-zone is the most neglected grease camp and is best rubbed a few times in a circular motion. The stratum corneum of the cheeks is distributed from top to bottom into a fish scale layer, so wash your face in the opposite direction and gently rub from bottom to top. The bun and temples are prone to residues of facial cleanser and need special attention. The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive and should be left as a last rinse to prevent over-stimulation.

4. Don’t underestimate cleaning tools, instead of just using face wash

In addition to facial cleanser, the support of cleaning tools should not be underestimated. To clean the blackheads on both sides of the nose, you can use the silicone blackhead cleanser; for the skin with large pores, you can use the cleansing soft brush to thoroughly clean the oil that blocks the pores. If you feel some loose skin, then you can use a silicone cleaning brush, the surface of the brush can massage the skin and restore skin elasticity. Cleansing gloves or facial cleansers made of high-density microfiber material can be used with facial cleanser to penetrate deep into the pores of the face to completely remove facial oil.
