This will probably sound unusual but there exists a correct and wrong way to wash your face. Facial skin is relatively sensitive. If you're scrubbing your face too strongly together with your hands or washrag, you might cause more skin irritation, redness, and even accidentally scratch yourself or cause a nosebleed. Be gentler to that person! Read some of the following tips to see whether you have to rethink that person washing technique.

Whether at the vanity sink or in the shower, start first with a splash down. Not merely is this a grein way to wake yourself quickly in the mornings, but it helps take away the more obvious dirt and grime. It clears the canvas, so to speak, for the next stage.

Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the water temperature should be not too cold, not too hot, but just right. To state the obvious, water that is too hot will burn your skin. But why not cold water? I've heard that some facial cleansers don't work well in cold water, but my personal thought will be that cold water tends to close pores so it's harder to get the stuff out of the pores. Warm water tends to open pores, which explains why washing your face while you're in the shower is a good idea. Or if you're at the sink and have some time, soak a washcloth in tepid to warm water and hold it on your own encounter for one minute before cleaning.

Now get your favorite facial cleanser ready. Some people claim soap is much harsher than facial cleansers but that will be not entirely true. Bar soap for the body is harsh on the facial skin because it contains more detergents, but facial bar soap has been formulated and tested to be less irritating for the face. The bottom line is that any form (bar, liquid, cream or gel) of facial cleanser will work.

Rub, squeeze or pump a quantity of facial cleanser on your hands. Less is more, and if you use too much, you might find yourself leaving some on your face. Leaving cleanser on your face can be drying or irritating, and in some cases, may actually attract dirt and oils. So use just enough (go with the dime or nickel size comparwill beons) to spread a thin, even coating over your entire face. Oh, and most experts recommend rubbing the cleanser first in your hands to produce a foam before applying to your face. I suppose this thought is to avoid over-rubbing your face. However, some modern cleansers don't foam therefore the purpose of rubbing in hands is more to spread it out for easier application.

For how long should you wash your face? I would bet the average face washer takes less than 15 seconds to wash their face. What the optimal cleaning time is, I am not sure, but I did read that the newest facial cleansing gadget has a built in timer for one minute. One minute! My advice would be to map out that person- forehead, nose, cheeks, chin- and spend 10 seconds on all of those areas. Or count the number of times you rub each area and make an effort to do 20 strokes (more or less, your preference). If one particular area is of concern, such as for example oily chin, then maybe spend a little longer there and shorter on another area.

Rub gently. My mother told me to always rub upwards but I admit I really do not always follow her advice. I would strongly recommend using both hands, although sometimes I are usually lazy and only use one. I would imagine using both hands ensures even distribution of face cleaner and applied pressure. One last step: I do remember to wash and massage my neck.

When you've washed for sufficient time (aim for at least 30 seconds), now rinse away the facial cleanser with several rounds of fresh water. Pat dry with a towel, follow up with any toners or lotions. Then smile at your freshly washed, glowing face in the mirror!
