Properly wash your face

When you go to wash your face you probably don't give it much thought. I mean as far as what's the right products your should be using for your skin type or when or how often you should be doing so maybe your question is about whether or not you have the right tools. Well in this blog I will be addressing all of these issues.

To start off when washing your face make sure your using warm water because cold won't allow your pores to open resulting in the bacteria staying trapped ,defeating the purpose, and hot is way too stripping/harsh. If you have oily skin and are acne prone make sure your cleanser has salicylic acid or if you have dry skin keep an eye out for cleansers with moisturizing ingredients like Shea butter, sensitive skin requires a little more care so I recommend Purpose gentle cleansing bar it's hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (won't clog your pores). Using the right product makes a world of difference. Then work it into a good lather for about 15 seconds with your hands or if you have a fluffy make-brush you not using feel free to use that. Do you have flaky or dull looking skin? Then you probably need to exfoliate. Many companies have come out with spinning exfoliating brush but if want something a little softer try L'Oreal's Go 360° Clean which has one right on the bottle that you can pop out when you need it and pop right back in when you're done. Make sure to rinse your face well at least 6 times to get the entire product off and pat dry with a clean soft towel, rubbing causes irritation. Follow up with the proper moisturizer, they recommend doing so within the first there minutes after washing to lock in moisture.

Note: If you're like me and before applying moisturize, after cleansing your face, you use a toner/astringent don't discontinue use of this method if it has been working for you.
