How to Clean Your Skin

Cleaning your skin is an important part of a daily routine. So how do you know you're doing it right? Simple! Follow these steps for bright, clean skin.

1. Steam your face:- This is really simple, just boil the kettle to get some hot water, pour the water into a bowl, then put a towel over your head and hold the bowl (make sure it's not too hot to hold!) near your face for about 5-10 minutes.

2. Wash your face with a cleanser for your skin type. For example, if you have acne, you would want an oil free or lightly medicated cleanser. Nothing too harsh or drying, because you'll more than likely be washing your face twice daily.

3. Rinse your face THOROUGHLY. Make sure the soap is GONE.

4. Pat your face dry with a soft cloth. Don't rub, it spreads bacteria.

5. Once your face is mostly dry, allow it to finish air drying for a few more minutes.

6. Moisturize your face, once again with a product for your skin type.

Important tips:-

• Don't rub hard when you cleanse, or really any time else. Massage gently.
• Harsh, drying cleansers will actually make the problem worse, so go for a mild one.
• Masks are great to add into your skincare routine. Clay masks are great for most skins types, and most masks are recommended for use once or twice weekly.
• If you can without damaging skin, wash your face morning and night. You don't have to steam as often, just as is convenient.
• If you're going to exfoliate...Well, I wouldn't. But make sure you use a gentle exfoliant, and don't do it as much in winter. Your skin needs time to repair itself.
• Always make sure your hands are clean before you start cleaning your face! This will make sure that bacteria and oil from your hands do not end up in your pores.
• Egg makes a nice mask to tighten up pores, and oatmeal is great for oily skin. Just search up natural beauty recipes and you'll find all kinda of great stuff!

Harmful you’re Skin
• Washing your face too much is just as bad as anything else.
• Don't use a cleanser with ingredients you are allergic to.
