7 Simple Rules Of Washing Your Face

Choose your cleanser wisely

Make sure to opt for a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser free of alcohol. Choose your face wash according to your skin type

Avoid hot water

Do not use hot water to wash your face as it can cause irritation and lead to moisture loss. Either use lukewarm water or cold water to wash your face

Remove makeup first

Before applying face wash, make sure to remove all your makeup using a makeup remover. This will help prevent dirt and excess oil from penetrating into the pores

Do not overwash

Try not to wash your face more than three times a day. Washing your face frequently in a day can strip away natural oil from the skin and cause dryness

Scrub less

Do not exfoliate your skin every time you wash your face. Regular scrubbing can cause irritation and even give rise to pimples 

Use your fingertips

Instead of rubbing your face vigorously with your palms, use your fingertips to apply the face wash. Move your fingers in circular motions and apply medium pressure to wash your face

Pat dry using towel

Pat dry your face instead of rubbing the towel all over your face. Use a soft, clean and dry cloth or towel  to dry your face
