As a child, even girls do not want to wash their face in the morning and evening and do it only when their mother forces them. As they get older, they realize that taking off their makeup after a long day is one way to relax and relieve stress. We can say that skin care begins with washing, but, as it turns out, negligence in this matter can harm us and cause premature aging skin and acne.

We are in website learned about the intricacies of daily washing and were surprised to discover that many of us do it incorrectly. In this article our readers will find professional advice and recommendations from cosmetologists and dermatologists.

Basic Rules

• To really cleanse your skin, start with your hands. Wash them thoroughly with soap to remove dirt and oil, rather than carrying it all into your cleanser and onto your face.
• Many girls make one of two common mistakes: they remove makeup with a special product, but then do not wash their face, or, on the contrary, they use a cleanser without removing the makeup first.

• Say no to reusable sponges: Even if you wash them every night, they will harbor bacteria that won't do anything good for your skin.
• Many dermatologists advise washing with your hands to reduce trauma to the skin, because microcracks and excessive friction can lead to the premature appearance of wrinkles. Merinda Joy, working with many Hollywood stars, recommends do it this way: apply the cleanser to moisturized skin using circular massage movements, without pressing too hard on your face. Don't forget that our skin is covered with fine hairs, and circular movements will help the product penetrate into the pores underneath.
• For extra exfoliation, experts advise use not sponges, but disposable cloth napkins or washcloths (nowadays you can easily buy cheap sets of such products). Use gentle movements to remove any remaining product from your face, then put the towel or rag in the wash and throw away the disposable napkin.

Which product to choose

For dry lotions and milk are suitable for the skin.

For fat And combined- gels and foams.

For mature And sensitive- foam.

Try to find a product that does not contain alcohol, but contains glycerin and niacinamide. If your skin acne prone, look for salicylic acid in the composition, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide. But if you have oily skin, don't use such products every day. Such skin can also be overdried by cosmetics, and then it will begin to secrete even more oils, thereby worsening the acne situation.

Water and towel

One beauty channel shared video, which shows in detail the washing process that many girls in Korea use. Top tip goes like this: treat your face as if it were your child. That is, the pressure on the skin should be minimal. This is what a gentle way of washing looks like:

• Moisten your face with water.
• Squeeze out the required amount of product and lather it, but not on your face, but on your hands. If you use foam, there is no need to do this.
• Very carefully and gently apply the product all over your face.
• Do massage movements with your little fingers: you won’t be able to press too hard and injure the skin. In addition, the little fingers will help you go over the face in more detail.
• Rinse off the product, but do not rub your face with wet hands. Instead, take water into your hands and gently pour small portions over your face.
• Do not blot your face with a towel. Instead, you should dry your hands and massage your face a little.
• While your face is damp, apply toner or thermal water.

Do you remember to wash your face in the evenings? What skin products do you use?

Reading time: 12 minutes.

Pimples on the face have never graced anyone, so everyone is trying to find an effective remedy to combat acne. A large assortment cosmetic preparations makes you think and a person cannot make a choice. Where to start? What will be more effective: cream, mask or tonic? We would like to recommend starting with a cleansing gel. After all, you don’t have to buy the entire store to get rid of acne. Cleansing gels are good for problem skin. The main thing is to choose the right product so that it suits your skin type. Decide what kind of gel you need - store-bought or made yourself from natural ingredients. But before we consider the options for washing gels, let's find out the causes of acne and what not to do when it occurs.

Why does acne appear on the face?

The appearance of acne at any age can indicate various diseases. Often in the age group from 12 to 18 years old, acne is associated with adolescence. The surge of hormones makes itself felt in the form of pimples and excessive work of the sebaceous glands. But even in adolescents, other causes of acne cannot be ruled out. Even by their location, you can tell which organ is suffering and what specifically needs to be examined.

1. Rashes on the forehead may indicate gastrointestinal diseases;
2. On the nose - diseases of the heart and endocrine system;
3. Cheeks are a problem with the lungs;
4. Chin - hormonal acne.

The causes of acne may be:

• hormonal imbalance (in adolescence, during menopause, during pregnancy, during hormonal imbalance);
• diseases of internal organs;
• allergic reaction;
• use of low-quality cosmetics;
• bad habits;
• poor nutrition;
• stress;
• failure to comply with hygiene standards;
• hereditary rashes;
• overheating or hypothermia of the body;
• infection;
• excessive tanning.

If acne or blackheads appear on your face, you should take the necessary measures to prevent the condition from worsening. But under no circumstances should you squeeze pimples. This will lead to the spread of infection to nearby tissues and then it will be much more difficult to cure. For inflamed acne, there is no need to scrub the skin - this will lead to irritation and deterioration of the skin.

How to choose a cleansing gel for acne?

As mentioned earlier, you need to start getting rid of acne with cleansing gels.

• When you buy a product, look at the components. It should contain: vitamins, glycerin, acids, NUF, plant extracts, various oils, PEG, chitosan, allaintoin. All these elements have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, regenerating and wound-healing effects;
• Don't look at the price. Just because a drug is expensive does not mean it is effective. You can buy inexpensive and high-quality gel. Pay attention to the manufacturer, since gels of similar composition may differ in price due to different companies;
• Be sure to consider your skin type and buy a product that suits it. Otherwise, after use, the condition of the skin will only worsen. The following may appear: irritation, peeling, inflammatory processes will intensify;
• To be sure, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist before purchasing. He will advise which remedy is most suitable in a particular case.

Age-related skin features

But for a positive effect, you should choose a gel for a certain skin type and age. Since acne actively appears on oily skin, we will consider products suitable specifically for this skin type, but according to age categories.

• 12 – 20 years. Choose gels that contain: zinc elements, salicylic acid and triclosan. It is better if this product does not contain alcohol, as it dries out the skin, the sebaceous glands increase their work and even more pimples appear. As a teenager, choose cleansers without adding moisturizing ingredients;
• 20 – 25 years. Care should be taken to saturate the skin with vitamins, cleanse it and protect it from exposure external factors. The composition of the product should include: emollient and anti-inflammatory components plant based. Normalize sebaceous activity: string, aloe, sage, chamomile, calendula, celandine;
• After the age of 25, take care of cleansing, protection and rejuvenating effect. Fruit acid gels will cope with this wonderfully. This can be acid: apple, grape, lactic and others.

It is not recommended to use gel for washing more than twice a day.

Rules for washing oily skin

1. You should not wash your face with warm or hot water. High temperatures provoke excessive secretion of subcutaneous sebum. Use cold or room water;
2. To tone the skin, perform a contrast wash every seven days. Alternating cold and hot water;
3. Do not wash your face too often, as this is harmful for this skin type;
4. Do not use gels with granules for scrubbing inflamed and purulent acne, because this will cause irritation and spread the infection to nearby tissues.

Do you want to have healthy, fresh and glowing facial skin? Wash your face every day. However, do it in the right way so as not to harm the skin, thereby causing inflammation and irritation. If your skin is prone to acne and dryness, learn how to properly care for it.

Steps

Wash your face every day

Wash your face with warm water. Pin your hair up and wash with warm water. Using hot or cold water can cause irritation, but warm water is gentle on your skin without causing redness or irritation.

• You can apply water to your face with your hands or use a towel soaked in water.
• Moisturizing your skin before using a cleanser will make this process easier. Plus, you won't have to use too much cleanser.

Apply cleanser or soap using gentle, circular motions. Use a very small amount of product that suits your skin type. Remember that you don't need a lot of soap or cleanser to wash your face. Apply it to your face in circular motions. Massage your face for a minute.

Exfoliation is an essential step in your skin care routine. Exfoliation is a deep cleansing that removes dead skin particles from the surface of the skin and opens the pores. Perform this procedure every few days and your facial skin will look fresh and glowing. Using a facial scrub or towel, rub your skin in circular motions, focusing Special attention the driest or oiliest areas on the face.

• However, remember that everything is good in moderation. Exfoliating too often can irritate your skin. Exfoliate only a few times a week and avoid putting too much pressure on the skin. On days when you don't need to exfoliate, simply skip this step when you wash your face.
• You can make your own face scrub using what you have on hand. Mix 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon water or milk.

Rinse off the foam with water and pat your face dry. Use warm water to rinse your face. Make sure you rinse off all the foam. Use a towel to pat your face dry. Do not rub too hard, as this will irritate the skin and encourage wrinkles.

Use a facial toner. If you want your skin to look smooth and even, use a facial toner. Apply toner with a cotton swab, paying special attention to areas where pores are enlarged.

Finish the entire process by using a moisturizer. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Moisturizer helps protect skin and keeps it youthful and radiant.

• If you wash your face before bed, use a night moisturizer.
• If you will be going outside, use a moisturizer with sun protection factor, preferably SPF 15 or higher.

Wash your face with acne-prone skin

Wash your face twice a day. You can do this in the morning and evening. By washing your face in the morning, you refresh your facial skin and cleanse it of bacteria. When you wash your face in the evening, you remove sweat, dirt and makeup from your skin. However, do not wash your face more than twice, as frequent washing dries out your facial skin.

Use a cleanser that suits your acne-prone skin type. Conventional cleansers can only make the problem worse. Chemicals, alcohol, and oils can irritate your skin and clog your pores even more. Choose a tool that will help you solve your problem.

Do not exfoliate. Many people with acne make this mistake. Using a scrub can only make the problem worse and cause even more inflammation. If your skin has acne, it needs special care. Even if you exfoliate, use products that won't cause further damage to your skin.

• Instead of a facial scrub, use a washcloth and rub your face in a circular motion.
• Never use a brush if your skin is acne-prone.

Do not wash your face with hot water. Hot water may cause facial skin to become irritated, red and inflamed. Therefore, wash only with cool water. Also, avoid steaming your face as this may make the problem worse.

Gently pat your face dry. If your skin is acne prone, do not use terry towel. Buy a soft towel that you can simply blot your skin with. Wash your towel as often as possible to avoid introducing pathogenic bacteria.

Use moisturizer. If your skin is acne-prone, it will cause your pores to clog quickly. Choose a cream that can be used for your skin type. If you decide to use an oil-based moisturizer, you may want to test it on a small area of ​​your skin. Apply the cream and wait a few days, evaluate the result. Now you can decide whether to use this cream or not.

• Aloe soothes irritated skin and gives it a healthy glow.
• If your skin is very oily, don't use moisturizer at all, or only apply it to areas where your skin is dry.

Wash dry skin

Wash your face once a day. If you have very dry skin, wash your face no more than once a day. Do this in the evening before bed to remove makeup from your face. In the morning, simply rinse your face with warm water or wipe with a damp cloth. After this, apply moisturizer.

Use gentle soap or oil as a cleanser. Choose the right cleanser to prevent your skin from becoming even drier. A dry skin product or oil will be suitable for your skin type.

• If you are using oil, simply wet your face with water and apply oil (almond, olive, jojoba, coconut, etc.) on it. Use a tissue to wipe your face in a circular motion, then rinse off the oil with warm water.
• If you decide to use a store-bought product, please note that it should not contain lauryl sulfate or laureate sulfate. Sulfates dry out the skin greatly.

Immediately about the important: you should not wash your face more than twice a day - excessive cleansing destroys the skin's protective barrier.

If previously, if you had dry skin, it was strictly forbidden to wash your face with water - only with a micellar composition, special lotions or milk, but today even dry skin can be moistened, and for oily skin it is permissible to use special oils.

When choosing products, perhaps the most important thing is their hypoallergenicity, since the number of girls with sensitive skin is growing every year. Especially among residents of megacities.

Types of cleansers

This will come in handy if you have combination skin and like this texture. Eliminates impurities, removes oily shine, mattifying and slightly narrowing pores. Special soft gels are also suitable for those with dry skin.

Mousse (foam)

It copes well with dirt and oily shine, does not dehydrate and does not contain a significant amount of surfactants. For oily and combination skin, foam with acids will help (activates cell renewal). For dry skin, use moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin.

Milk (cosmetic cream)

Best choice for dry skin. Moisturizes and softens, relieves irritation.

Hydrophilic oil

Suitable for all skin types. Upon contact with water, it turns into a pleasant emulsion and removes makeup and impurities. Maintains the integrity of the lipid layer of the skin and does not provoke the production of excess sebum.

High alkalinity (the pH of ordinary solid soap is 9-11) disrupts the natural pH balance of the skin (pH of dry skin - from 3 to 4.6; normal - from 4.7 to 5.7; oily - from 5.8 to 7 ). However, now the so-called syndets have appeared. These are synthetic soaps of liquid or solid consistency with a pH of 5.5. They cleanse oily and combination skin well and relieve inflammation. But syndets should not be used constantly, so as not to dry out the epidermis.

Cream and balm

Foaming products, which often include oils and plant extracts. Recommended for dry and dry skin. If the list of ingredients contains drying components (eucalyptus extract or oil), then a cream or balm is also suitable for oily skin.
