Have you ever wonder if you’re washing your face the right way? Does washing with water enough to clean your exposed face?

            Cleansing is something we do every day hence the most important part of our skincare routine, yet we all have so many dilemmas and some of us aren’t even sure if we are cleansing the right way. Our facial skin is the thinnest skin in our whole body and therefore should receive the most extra care from us .It is exposed to many types of stressors throughout the day, and it is naturally open to receiving multiple environmental pollutants. Our facial skin secretes sweat and sebum which if we don’t properly wash it may lead to clogged pores which mean breakouts. With just soap alone it is not enough to remove all the dirt in our face and by using the wrong products; it may lead to skin irritation or worst.

 Even if you didn’t wear makeup and you just stayed home all day it is still advisable to wash your face using face wash. The reason why is that your skin excrete waste all day and without a face wash you won’t be able to wash them off completely. So do use a face wash at least once a day. But in the morning if you’re not going out it’s alright to just cleanse with water. – An advice from Dr. Kang, a dermatologist.

 Cleansing brushes definitely do cleanse better but if you are using it too much it can irritate your skin; so it is highly suggested to use cleansing brush very gently to avoid skin irritation.

 Well, men have thicker skin and secrete more sebum than women. So products designed for men are more powerful and has a strong fragrance, hence women might feel discomfort if they use products designed for men. Therefore it isbetter to stick with products designed for our gender.

 Adding water beforehand definitely won’t help since cleansing oil is designed to cleanse and emulsify your makeup, so if you are going to use it when your face is already wet the capacity of it to cleanse will reduce. So it is better to use cleansing oil first to your dry face and emulsify it by adding water little by little as you wash your makeup off.

  The use of sunscreen is very popular nowadays at it has ingredients that protect our skin from the heat of the sun but at night should we really deep cleanse when we only put sunscreen in our face? Well, Dr. Kang a dermatologist recommends using cleansing oil then use face wash again, since sunscreen contains titanium dioxide a high purity aluminum powder that sticks on your face really well plus the chemical that helps sunscreen products waterproof helps it to seep into the pores for it to stay on. And as you apply much the more it is difficult to wash off so it is good to use cleansing oil then face wash to completely wash it off.
