How To Wash Your Face Properly In 5 Steps?

Our face needs specific care depending on the time of day. The most important are those that are applied in the morning and in the evening, but it is also important not to forget the rest of the day.

If we ask you how you wash your face every day, we’re sure you’re going to be amazed that not everyone does it with soap and water! Of course, both of these are basic for daily cleaning. However, in terms of beauty and health, the care for washing the face needs to be a little more concrete.

The face needs a series of daily treatments that will give it, in the short, medium and long term, tighter, healthier and more beautiful skin.

In this article, we invite you to put into practice 5 tips to wash your face in a suitable way.

1. In the morning: wash your face with lukewarm water and apply a revitalizing mask

The first thing we need is to treat the skin without harming it, to open the pores and remove all the impurities in a gentle way.

Lukewarm water and the use of a mask are ideal to start the day.

It is important to consider the following tips:

• Some people wash their face several times a day, but this is not very suitable because you can end up irritating the skin and altering its natural pH.
• It is essential to “prepare your skin” as soon as you get up. Lukewarm water eliminates impurities and opens the pores, which is essential to prepare the skin before applying makeup, for example.

After cleaning with warm water, you can prepare an excellent cucumber mask. It is ideal for rejuvenating, illuminating and hydrating the skin.

The soft and revitalizing mask

Ingredients

• Half a cucumber
• A spoonful of honey (25 g)
• A spoonful of olive oil (4 g)

Preparation

• Peel and cut the cucumber into strips, then put it in the blender with the spoonful of honey and that of olive oil.
  Mix until a homogeneous paste is obtained, which you will then let stand for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Once the time is up, apply this cream to your skin and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then rinse it off with cold water.

2. Apply the facial treatment you need

Once your skin has no more impurities, it is tight and hydrated, it’s time to apply the facial treatment you use every day: 

• Anti-wrinkle cream
• Anti-acne treatment
• Eye contour cream
• Treatment for sensitive or dry skin

3. Apply a primer and sunscreen

The base is very useful in daily beauty rituals, as it helps us to unify the skin, and to have a face without imperfection and softer.

It conceals wrinkles and pimples, and depending on the color we choose for the pre-base, we will get different results:

• The green base conceals the red spots.
• Yellow or orange reduce marked dark circles or bluish complexions.

To take care of our skin and avoid premature aging, it is important that after the base you apply a sunscreen.

This will allow you to be protected against the effects of the sun, for 5 or 6 hours.

After applying the primer and sunscreen, you can wear makeup normally.

4. Afternoon: The benefits of micellar water

Micellar water is a staple of daily beauty programs, ideal when returning home! 

It is a liquid enriched with different elements which have the following purposes:

• Cleanse the face of makeup traces and impurities: It is able to remove water-resistant makeup, such as waterproof elements .
• Tone the skin:  Thanks to its surfactant compounds, it will help us to have a firmer face.
• Moisturize the skin: Micellar water helps us eliminate impurities and also nourishes the skin.

To use micellar water, you need to apply some of it to a cotton ball and dab it on the skin.

5. In the evening: rose water

Before going to sleep, our face should be given the ultimate care.

Indeed, it is necessary to prepare the skin for the night and to apply a night treatment again. 

After a relaxing bath, our skin opens its pores with the steam and is ready to receive the last treatment.

Moisten a cotton ball with a little rose water, and dab it on the forehead, cheeks and chin to wash the face.

This will help you:

• Soften the skin.
  
• Balance the pH.
• Balance facial fat.
• Prevent aging. 
• Promote healing.
• Mitigate lines of expression.

As you can see, rose water is not only used for washing the face, but it also helps us to treat various skin problems.
