If you want to look 10 years younger... 5 facial cleansing tips to remember

A thorough cleansing is considered the beginning and end of skin care. Usually, cleansing is thought to simply mean removing makeup. However, cleansing involves washing away excess sebum and impurities left on the skin all at once, leaving it clean. Therefore, even people who do not wear makeup should wash their face carefully at night. The point to note here is that the method of cleansing can either age the skin or make it look younger. Let's learn about cleansing methods that help maintain youthful skin.

1. Wash your hands first and then wash your face

The most important aspect of a facial cleansing method that improves skin is cleanliness. Wash your hands thoroughly before cleansing to remove bacteria and contaminants from your hands. If contaminants remain on your hands, they can transfer to your face before removing facial impurities, making it difficult to clean your face properly and potentially causing skin problems.

 

Wash your face with a temperature lower than your skin temperature

The body temperature is 36.5°C, but the skin temperature is 3 to 5 degrees lower. Usually, when taking a shower, the water temperature is higher than body temperature, which is significantly higher than skin temperature. Repeatedly using water hotter than the skin temperature gradually decreases skin elasticity and causes moisture loss due to heat.

 

3. Do not wash your face with a showerhead

I often wash my face while taking a shower. The water pressure from the showerhead can damage the skin barrier. This can make the skin sensitive and accelerate aging. When the skin barrier is compromised, various skin problems can occur, so it is advisable to avoid washing your face with a showerhead.

 

4. Minimize skin irritation

There are cases where people vigorously scrub their skin to remove makeup thoroughly. In such cases, the skin's protective barrier, the skin barrier, gets damaged and collapses. When the skin barrier collapses, the skin becomes dry and more prone to inflammation. During cleansing, using your pinky finger to gently roll over the face can minimize skin irritation.

 

5. Use a gentle cleanser without刺激

A facial cleanser removes impurities within pores, residual cosmetics, dead skin cells, and sebum. While removing these various impurities, it can also damage the skin barrier and cause irritation. A good facial cleanser effectively removes pollutants without compromising the skin barrier. Since pigments and fragrances can be irritants, products without these ingredients are preferable, and water-soluble products that rinse off easily are ideal. Additionally, the tightness and dryness of the skin after cleansing are due to the cleanser removing the skin's protective barrier. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a cleanser that does not cause dryness after use.
