Skin Cleansing 101: How Washing Your Face Regularly Makes a Difference

Washing your face comes just as easy as brushing your teeth or brushing your hair. It’s a hygiene practice that should be just as common.

But with busy days and long nights, it is easy to see when it can be overlooked.

However, it is an essential part of cleansing your skin from the grime of the day.

Why Should I Wash My Face? 3 Key Benefits

Prevents Build-Up

Build-up refers to the impurities that can accumulate in your skin pores if you don’t wash regularly. They come from exposure to pollution when you leave the house and dead skin cells that you shed every day. When you cleanse your skin regularly, build-up won’t stick around to cause any problems later.

Keeps Skin Clear

Washing your face makes sure that you don’t let the build-up linger. When you don’t cleanse your skin, it becomes vulnerable to later problems like pimples or rashes.

If you have an oily or combination skin type, too much sebum can trap a lot more impurities that the skin shouldn’t be carrying around.

Want clearer skin? The answer is simple: wash your face.

Boosts Hydration

People with dry skin types know the struggle of peeling and cracks that appear on the skin. Hydration is an important skin factor that keeps your skin healthy and vibrant. With some water and cleanser, your skin will stay hydrated for longer hours of the day.

Face Washing Tips for Proper Skin Cleansing 

Wash Your Hands Before Touching Your Face

Your hands are the cleansing tools for your face. It goes without saying that whatever you touch goes on it. Make sure to scrub down those hands with soap before touching your cheeks.

Be Gentle to the Touch

Scrubbing is necessary to exfoliate any dead skin from your face. But scrubbing furiously is overdoing it. Make sure to do gentle circular strokes, rinse thoroughly, and pat (instead of rub) your face dry with a clean face towel. 

Use the Right Skin Cleanser for Your Skin Type

Not all cleansers are formulated the same – we have to keep this in mind.

Some cleansers were tailor-made for certain skin types to meet their needs. Take the Purifying Foaming Wash of OxygenCeuticals, for example. Its pH 5.0 bubble-rich formula makes it suitable for sensitive skin types.

For those without sensitive skin and who prefer a robust yet soothing skin cleanser, the KLAVUU Pure Pearlsation Revitalizing Facial Cleansing Foam with its 4-in-1 functionality as a cleanser and makeup remover is the right call.

Make Skin Cleansing a Part of the Daily Routine 

Washing your face should be second nature. As long as you follow the skin cleansing tips, you can successfully prevent any skin issue with the right practice and product.
