How to wash your face? Step by step

1. Firstly, before washing your face, it is important to have clean hands, leaving them free of possible bacteria;

2. Then, with cold or warm water, wet your face and massage in circular movements with the specific soap. But remember not to rub too much and use the product in the right amount (one pump);

NOTE: We, at Women’s Area, have already explained how to identify your skin type and the care each skin requires. Check before purchasing your facial soap: Skin types – What they are, how to identify and special care.

3. Then wash your face with water and dry lightly with the help of a clean towel;

4. Finally, finish by applying the facial toner with the help of a cotton pad. Once the product dries on the skin, moisturize it with a cream suitable for your skin type.

Important: In the morning and/or afternoon, always remember to apply sunscreen. Additionally, cleanse your skin twice a day, morning and night, and always give preference to liquid soaps.

Mistakes you should NOT make:

• Wash your face with just water: Water alone does not have the ability to remove oil, pollution, sebum and dirt that accumulate on the skin;
• Use body soap: Body soaps are very aggressive and cause irritation to the skin of the face. Therefore, choose facial soaps suitable for your skin type;
• Wash your face many times a day: Everything in excess is bad, therefore, it is recommended that you wash your face only twice a day, when waking up and when going to bed;
• Use hot water: High temperature water removes all natural oil from the skin, thus affecting the skin’s skin barrier and causing dehydration and enlarged pores;
• Wash your face with sudden movements and lots of force: The movements must be circular and delicate to clean the skin.
