It’s said that washing your face is wrong, maybe you are ten years old.
Washing your face is something we have to do every day,
But if you use the wrong method for a long time,
will cause particularly damage to our skin!
Today, Ms. Mo will talk to you about washing your face~
Five major facial cleansing misunderstandings
skin redness, blackheads and acne, thick pores, and oily T-section... I believe that these big and small problems often occur on our faces.
These conditions are likely to be caused by the incorrect method of washing our face, which makes the skin sensitive. So what misunderstandings do we have when washing our faces?
Alternating hot and cold water can shrink pores
Many people are used to washing their faces with hot water in winter and cold water in summer, or think that alternately washing them with hot and cold water can shrink pores and make the skin better. In fact, these cognitions are all wrong. Too high or too low water temperature will irritate our skin.
Washing your face with hot water will cause the pores on the face to spread, which will directly lead to large pores, but will also cause the oil to be excessively washed away and the sebum function will decrease. At this time, the skin will become dry and easily wrinkles.
Washing with cold water will cause pores to block and the oil on the face will not be washed clean. In the long run, it will cause skin problems such as acne and blackheads.

If we wash our face alternately with hot and cold water, our skin will be double irritated, aggravate the skin's sensitivity, and cause red blood vessels and other problems. It’s not worth it if healthy skin turns into sensitive skin!
So Ms. Mo advises everyone that it is best to wash your face with warm water close to the temperature of the human body. It is most suitable for around 35 degrees. This will not only ensure that the pores are slightly opened, effectively clean the stains, but will not cause excessive sebum to be lost and damage the natural protective film.
The more foam the facial cleanser, the better
Facial cleanser with more foam does have a strong ability to remove oil and stains. After washing, it will give people a feeling of being particularly clean on their face. But not everyone's skin type is suitable for using foam facial cleanser .
People with oily skin can use foam facial cleanser, but be careful not to squeeze too much. Excessive cleaning will destroy the normal moisturizing function of the skin, and the skin will even be more likely to secrete oil when dehydrated.
People with dry or mixed skin should choose a facial cleanser without foam or less foam, so that it is gentler and the skin will not feel tight. Moreover, the inability to foam the facial cleanser does not mean that it does not have the ability to remove stains. It is just that the foam facial cleanser lacks an ingredient called surfactant, and the cleaning strength is not that strong.
The most important thing is to choose a facial cleanser according to your own skin type!
The more times you wash your face, the cleaner your face
Some people will frequently clean your face in order to keep your face clean at all times, thinking that the more you wash, the better. This is actually a common misunderstanding. Washing too many times will affect the normal secretion of sebaceous glands, and the skin is prone to dryness and peeling.
So don’t wash your face more than three times a day. It’s best to wash it once in the morning and once in the evening. Just wash it with water when you wake up in the morning, and use facial cleanser to deeply clean it before going to bed at night.
If you sweat a lot in summer, you can also increase the number of times according to your own situation. Don’t be too mechanized. After all, if you drink water, you will know the temperature and heat~
It is good to wash your face with a towel
Ms. Mo believes that many people usually use towels to wash their faces, but is it really good to wash their faces with towels?
The surface of the towel is textured and rough to the touch. If you rub the face with a towel frequently, it will damage the cuticle of the skin, and the skin becomes fragile and sensitive, the pores will become thicker.
In addition, towels are easy to hide dirt and are often hung in damp bathrooms. The bacteria reproduce rapidly. It will certainly cause skin to be used to wash your face!
So Ms. Mo’s suggestion is that you can use a professional face washing towel to wash your face. It is disposable, small and convenient, and throw it away after use, so you don’t have to worry about the above problems at all.
If you are used to washing your face with a towel, you also need to change the towel frequently, clean it, and place it in a ventilated and light place to dry it. Do not use force when wiping your face with a towel, but press gently to let the towel get moisture by itself.
Natural air-drying and moisturizing
Everyone says that the face should be hydrated and moisturizing. So should we not wipe water after washing the face and let it stay on the face naturally air-drying and moisturizing? Of course not!
After washing your face, let the water evaporate by itself. The water without dry moisture on the face will take away the moisture of the skin itself, and the skin will only become dryer and tighter, and there is no effect of moisturizing at all.
After washing your face, you should gently suck the moisture on your face with a face wash towel or a soft towel, and then apply skin care products to moisturize.

Correct face washing steps
Having said so much, how should we wash our face? Miss Mo will provide the complete steps.
First, we squeeze out an appropriate amount of facial cleanser into the palm of our hands. Remember not to have too much, just the area of the coin size. Gently knead the foam. If it is a foam-free facial cleanser, you should also rub it with your hands first.
Apply the kneaded facial cleanser or foam on your face and massage it gently in a circle. Each place is about 15 degrees, and do not ignore any place. When making circles, from bottom to top, from inside to out, be careful about the position around the eyes to prevent it from getting into the eyes. The oil on both sides of the nose wings is strong, so you can rub it a few more times.
After massage with facial cleanser, you can wash it with water. We set the water temperature to the right temperature, then hold the water in our hands and wash our face thoroughly.

Finally, we use a face wash towel or towel to gently suck the moisture on our face, and the whole face becomes white and clean in an instant!
Develop good habits in washing your face
It is far from enough to know the correct method of washing your face. There are many small details when washing your face. It is worth our attention.
Wash your hands before washing your face
Before washing your face, remember to wash your hands first, otherwise the bacteria on your hands will easily cause various skin problems if you are brought to your face.
We need to thoroughly wash our hands with soap or hand sanitizer before we can start washing our faces. Don’t be lazy to think that facial cleanser can also wash your hands at the same time. You should know that facial cleanser is a product specifically for facial cleaning and cannot effectively remove bacteria on your hands.
Don’t use a washbasin
If you still have the habit of washing your face with a basin of water, you should change it quickly! The dirt after cleaning with cleansing products will remain in the basin. If you wash your face repeatedly with this water, the dirt will be brought back to the washed face. Isn’t that face washed in vain?
So we must use running water to wash our faces normally to wash away all the dirt and truly wash our faces.

Check the hairline
0 Washing your face is not just about rinsing your face. After cleaning, we should also pay attention to whether there is still a cleanser in the hairline and sideburns near the hair.
These dirt is prone to acne if it is not washed away. I believe many people will ignore this small detail.

Timely moisturizing
After washing your face, you must remember to apply skin care products in time to replenish hydration, because after washing your face, our pores are in a state of openness. If your skin does not hydrate for a long time, it is easy to feel dry, which speeds up the secretion of oil.
This step is best performed within 3 minutes after washing your face. If the interval is too long and the pores are closed, it will be difficult for the skin to absorb moisture. No matter how expensive or good skin care products are, it is a waste.
