Washing your face seems like such an easy task, right? Splash some water, massage your skin with a cleanser, and rinse! Well, not really! There’s definitely more to it. To make the most of your everyday cleansing routine, a little extra care is a must. It is not just how you cleanse, but also when, how often and what kind of cleanser you use that actually makes all the difference.
Here’s a quick list of the do's and don’ts to make your everyday cleansing a more yielding process:
DO
-
Wash your hands: The first step to washing your face is washing your hands. It is a directly transferable skincare hazard. Unclean hands and nails can transfer the dirt, grime and dust stuck on it directly onto your face.
-
Pick the right cleanser: Take a stroll along the beauty aisle of a departmental store and you’ll spot countless facial cleansers. While some of them may seem very appealing (thanks to the attractive packaging!), it will not necessarily be the right one for you. The trick is in knowing your specific skin type and individual concerns before investing in a good cleanser or face wash.
-
Massage your face: Probably among the simplest skincare tasks, but cleansing also requires a particular technique. Begin with splashing some water, take a pea-sized amount of the product, and start massaging your face using light pressure and circular strokes. Treat your cleansing ritual as a massage to stir up the blood circulation and bring back the lost plumpness.
-
Choose natural ingredients: Fruit and plant-based ingredients do not interfere with the skin’s natural texture and promote a healthier glow as opposed to synthetic chemicals and preservatives. For instance, common skincare concerns such as acne and dullness can easily be treated using a naturally formulated face wash for pimples containing aloe vera, neem, turmeric and other such organic ingredients.
DON’T
-
Rely completely on face wipes: A cleansing facial wipe can very well clean your makeup and even sometimes handle oil-soluble products, but this kind of cleansing only takes place on the surface level. A face wipe will not be able to dig deep into your pores and uproot trapped impurities, oil and dust that has clung on to your skin throughout the day. Instead, use a deep cleansing face wash that targets dullness, pimples and dark spots.
-
Wash your face very often: Anything in excess can only harm and irritate your skin. In an attempt to battle oiliness or shine, we end up over-washing our faces. This can only lead to a massive depletion of your skin’s natural oils and moisture. Stick to double-cleansing and you’ll be good to go.
-
Wash your face with hot water: Extremely hot water can not only burn your skin, but it can also take a major toll on your skin’s natural oil barrier. Hot water strips your skin of its moisture and essential oils and makes it dry out faster. Over and above that, it also causes constant itchiness and redness, which can make your skin begin to flake. Instead, use cold or lukewarm water to wash your face.
-
Be harsh on your skin: Skincare is all about being gentle. Over-cleansing or scrubbing aggressively can result in irritated skin, acne breakouts and random dry patches. Be kind to your skin and use the best face wash for pimples and glowing skin according to your specific skin type, twice a day. Don’t use a washcloth to wipe your face after. Instead, follow it up with a good hydrating moisturizer.
Cleansing is a definite stepping-stone toward achieving a great skin. It sets the foundation right and paves your way to healthy, acne-free & glowing skin.
