Tips to Follow for the Best Cleansing Experience
-
Choose the right cleanser
Pick a cleanser that suits your skin type, whether it’s oily, dry, combination or sensitive. Look for products with ingredients that address your skin concerns.
-
Use lukewarm water
Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, whereas cold water might not dissolve impurities effectively. It’s best to use lukewarm water that helps to open up your pores and allows the cleanser to work effectively.
-
Be gentle
Gently massage the cleanser with your fingertips in circular motions and avoid scrubbing or using excessive force. Remember to rinse all traces of the cleanser thoroughly.
-
Pat, pat, pat
Dry your skin without rubbing it the wrong way, literally. Use a clean, soft towel to gently pat dry your face. Avoid rubbing at all costs as it may irritate your skin or damage active acne.
-
Always hydrate post-cleansing
Make it a habit to follow up your cleanser with a serum or moisturiser to lock in hydration and keep your skin balanced.
