The Right Way To Wash Your Face In 3 Steps

Have you ever wondered how people usually wash their faces every day? You may assume that everyone does it the same way, with soap and water. 

Of course, these two elements are basic in our daily cleaning. However, if we talk about beauty and health, the subject needs to be specified a little more. For this, it is important to take into account a proper facial cleansing routine.

We’ll tell you then.

1. Mornings: wash your face with warm water and apply a revitalizing mask

The first thing you need is to treat the skin without aggression, clean the pores and get all impurities to be removed in a gentle way. Warm water and the use of a mask is a very good way to start the day. To do this, it is worth taking these tips into account:

• Some people usually wash their face many times a day. It is not appropriate, unless you have sweated a lot, because otherwise you could end up irritating the skin and altering the natural pH.

• It is essential that as soon as you get up, “prepare the skin”. Washing your face with lukewarm water is the most recommended.

After cleansing, you can prepare this cucumber-based mask. Do not miss it!

Gentle and revitalizing mask

What I need?

• Half cucumber
• 1 tablespoon of honey (25 g)
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil (4 g)

Preparation

• Peel and cut the cucumber into small slices, then take it to the blender along with the tablespoon of honey and the teaspoon of olive oil. Process until you get a homogeneous paste, which you should then leave in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

• After this time, apply this cream to your skin and allow it to act for 15 minutes. Then, remove with fresh water.

Apply the facial treatment you need

Now, once your skin is  clean of impurities and hydrated, it is time to apply the facial treatment that you use daily:

• The anti-wrinkle cream.
• Anti-acne treatment.
• The eye contour cream.
• Treatment for sensitive or dry skin.

Apply a primer and sunscreen

The primer or primer is very useful in our daily beauty rituals. Helps to unify the skin and show a smooth face, without imperfections. Wrinkles  and pimples are concealed and, depending on the type of color you choose in the primer cream, it will help in some aspects:

• The green one conceals red spots.
• The yellow or orange color will attenuate purple dark circles, or bluish tones.

After washing your face, to take even more care of your skin and avoid premature aging, it is worth  applying a sunscreen or a UV blocker. It will allow you to spend between 5 and 6 hours with peace of mind, while protecting you against the effects of the sun.

After primer and protector, you can apply makeup normally.

2. Afternoon: the benefits of micellar water

Have you already tried using micellar water? It’s an all-rounder for everyday beauty, especially when you get home. It is not normal water, but a liquid enriched with different elements that are intended to do the following:

• Washing your face with it cleans all traces of makeup and impurities: it  is capable of removing even those that are resistant to water or waterproof .
• Tones the skin:  thanks to its composition based on surfactant compounds, it helps to show a firmer face, as long as we are constant in its use.
• Moisturizes the skin: micellar water facilitates the elimination of impurities and, in turn, nourishes the skin.

There is a fact you should know about micellar water: when you use it, you just have to apply a little on the cotton pad and gently pat it on the skin.

This water does not carry dirt, but rather traps it, which is why it offers very good results.

3. Night: Rose water

Before going to sleep, your face still has one last and important step left: preparing your skin for the night  and reapplying that night treatment to beautify it.

You have to moisten a little rose water on a cotton pad and also apply it with small dabs on the forehead, cheeks and chin. It will help you in these aspects:

• Soften the skin.
• Balance the pH.
• Balance facial fat.
• Soften expression lines.

As you can see, rose water is not only used to wash your face, but it helps us to treat various problems. You will find it in beauty stores or in any supermarket.

Take care of your diet to have a good complexion

It is useless to apply creams and masks if then you eat an unhealthy diet and are not hydrated. The best way to show your health on the outside is by trying to be healthy on the inside. 

For this reason, it is advisable to eat a healthy and balanced diet, where all the necessary nutrients are accommodated. In the same way, get rid of harmful habits, such as tobacco and alcohol.
