How to Wash Your Face

A face speaks volumes about one's personality, and a well looked after face not only attracts attention and adulation, but fosters confidence in a person. Therefore the face must be cleansed properly and in the right way. It's pretty simple.

Steps:
1- Tie your hair back from your face. If you have bangs wear a headband or use a hair clip. If you wear glasses or contacts, take them off or out.
2- First wash your hands with a good face soap to clean them.
3- Wet your face with warm water to open your pores.
4- Take the cleanser or face wash and get a small amount on your hands, about the size of a nickel. Rub some on your wet hands.Use cleanser that is gentle enough for your skin.
5- Work up a good lather by rubbing both hands together and applying it on your face.
6- Using your fingers, rub the cleanser all over your face removing dirt on the surface of your skin.
7- Rinse your face with cool, clean water, to close your pores, keeping the soap out of your eyes.
8- Pat your face dry with a clean and soft face towel. Make sure you pat it dry to reduce wrinkles as you mature.
9- It's a good idea to moisturize your face after washing it.

Tips:
Use a soap that suits your skin type: oily, normal or dry.
If soap gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with water.
Washing your face twice a day should be enough. Washing too much will irritate your skin more.
If your skin is too dry after washing, use water only and pat dry, or apply a moisturizing lotion afterward. Make sure the moisturizer is not oily or it may cause pimples.
Wash your face twice if you have been wearing makeup. The first wash removes the makeup and the second cleanses the skin.
Talk to your doctor about possible dermatological issues if you have chronic skin problems. They may very well stem from things you put on your skin: like soap!
For some people, washing their face with soap can dry their skin out. If you are one of those people, try using a gentle face-wash such as Pro-Active (a face-wash that also helps with acne) or Cetaphil.
Dont rub your face too hard, it'll do more harm than good.

Warnings:
If itching or rashes occur after washing the face, stop using that soap and immediately consult a dermatologist or skin care specialist. Using an itch or rash cream may help soothe the irritation.
Make sure soap doesn't get into your eyes. It burns.
Warm water opens up your pores and cold water closes them. Make sure you rinse your face with warm water before using cleaning products, and cold water after.
