Cleansing Rules

Clean your face both morning and night:

Make sure to wash your face every morning and before bed. It’s especially crucial to clean your face in the evening to get rid of makeup, sunscreen, and the dirt from the day. If you skip this step, you might get pimples, marks, or your skin might age faster. Cleaning your face in the morning is also important because it removes any nighttime serums, bacteria, saliva, and oils from your face. It gets your skin ready for your morning routine.

Use warm to lukewarm water to wash your face

It’s best to use warm or lukewarm water to cleanse your face . Very cold water doesn’t remove oils well, and very hot water can make your skin dry and irritated.

Never apply a facial cleansing product to dry skin

Before using face wash, make sure your face is wet. Don’t put face wash on dry skin. Wet your face completely first.Don’t rush when washing your face. Take your time and gently massage the face wash into your skin for about 2 minutes.

Pat your face dry with a towel

Don’t scrub your face with a towel. Instead, gently pat your face dry with the towel. Avoid rubbing too hard because it can make your skin irritated for no reason.

Avoid using face wipes unless you have no other options

Avoid using face wipes unless you have no other option, like when you’re at the gym or in a hurry. Face wipes can irritate your skin and mostly just spread dirt, makeup, and oils around on your skin’s surface. They don’t give your skin a proper cleaning. 

Some Exttra Points:

Choose the Right Cleanser for Your Skin Type: Use a cleanser that suits your skin type. For example, use a gentle, hydrating cleanser if you have dry skin, or an oil-free cleanser if you have oily skin.

Double Cleansing for Makeup Wearers: If you wear makeup, consider double cleansing. Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to clean your skin thoroughly.

Avoid Over-Cleansing: Washing your face more than twice a day can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Stick to cleansing morning and night.

Use Clean Towels: Ensure you use a clean towel each time you pat your face dry. Using a dirty towel can transfer bacteria and oils back onto your clean skin.

Don’t Forget Your Neck: Extend your cleansing routine to your neck. The skin on your neck is just as prone to aging and can benefit from regular cleansing and moisturizing.

Follow Up with Toner, Serum, and Moisturizer: After cleansing, use a toner to balance your skin’s pH, followed by a serum and moisturizer to lock in hydration and provide necessary nutrients.

Be Gentle with Your Skin: Avoid using harsh exfoliants or scrubbing too hard. Opt for gentle exfoliation once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells without causing irritation.
