Properly Cleanse
Before you do anything, wash your hands. Washing your face with dirty hands is not good and unhygienic.
Wet your face with warm water.
Use a dime-sized amount of cleanser and apply it to your face in a circular motion.
Keep doing this for about a minute.
Step by Step:
Rinse your face and pat it dry with a towel.
Double Cleansing
Double cleansing is when you cleanse your face with a cleansing oil and then cleanse your face again with water-based cleanser.
Ph in Cleansers
Finding a pH balanced cleanser ensures that the acid mantle won’t be damaged. The acid mantle is a fine protective layer on top of your skin that acts as a barrier.
