In our fast-paced modern life, the small daily task of washing our face is often overlooked. Are there many people who just wet their face with water and consider it washed? In fact, washing your face in this way is not useful at all. Washing your face is not only for cleaning, but also an important step in maintaining the health of your skin. If you don't wash your face well, it may cause a series of adverse effects on our skin.
The dangers of not washing your face carefully
Firstly, not washing your face thoroughly can lead to clogged pores. Oil, dirt and dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, if not effectively removed, can build up in the pores and form clogs. This not only prevents the skin from breathing properly, but can also trigger the formation of blackheads and pimples, affecting the smoothness and aesthetics of the skin. It also provides a breeding ground for bacteria. Bacteria naturally present on the surface of the skin can multiply when not thoroughly cleansed, increasing the risk of skin infections and possibly even leading to more serious skin problems such as acne. In addition, not washing your face thoroughly can lead to an uneven skin tone. Dirt and oil on the surface of the skin can form discolouration during oxidation, making the skin tone uneven and affecting the overall aesthetics. Over time, this uneven skin tone may make a person appear older than they actually are.
Incomplete washing of the face can also affect the absorption of skincare products. When we use skincare products, if there is dirt left on the surface of the skin, the active ingredients of these products will not be fully absorbed by the skin, resulting in a much less effective skincare product, as well as a waste of resources. Most importantly, not washing your face thoroughly may damage the skin's barrier function. The skin is our body's first line of defence, and its barrier function is vital in protecting us from external aggressions. If the barrier function is compromised, the skin will be more susceptible to damage from the external environment, such as UV rays and pollutants.
How to wash your face properly?
In order to maintain the health of our skin, we should develop good face washing habits. Choose the right cleansing products for your skin type, use the right cleansing method, and make sure that every wash thoroughly cleanses your skin. In this way, our skin can glow in cleanliness and remain healthy and vibrant.
- Choose the right water temperature.
Water that is too hot can damage the skin's natural oil layer, leading to dryness and irritation, while water that is too cold may not cleanse the skin effectively. The ideal water temperature should be mild and close to your body temperature so that it cleanses your skin without causing unnecessary harm.
- Use a cleanser that suits your skin type.
Dry skin should choose a gentle, moisturising cleanser, while oily skin needs a cleanser with good oil control. Sensitive skin should avoid cleansers that contain fragrances and irritating ingredients.
- Gently Massage
Squeeze the cleansing product in the palm of your hand, add water and rub out the foam, and then gently massage your face with your fingertips. Avoid scrubbing too hard to avoid damaging the skin. Massage from the chin, up to the forehead, then the nose and cheeks, and finally around the eyes, each part of the gentle circular massage for about 30 seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly
Rinse the cleanser thoroughly with lukewarm water. Make sure there is no residue left on the skin as residual cleanser may cause skin problems. When rinsing, work from top to bottom, avoiding direct impact of water on the eyes.
- Gently pat dry with a clean towel
After washing your face, use a clean towel to gently pat your face dry. Avoid rubbing hard as this may cause skin irritation and redness. Gently patting will help your skin absorb moisture while reducing friction. And be sure to use a clean towel or disposable washcloth, otherwise bacteria can still invade.
- Regular Maintenance
After washing your face, your skin may temporarily lose some moisture, so timely moisturising is essential. Choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type and gently apply it to your face to help lock in moisture and maintain your skin's oil balance. Meanwhile, depending on your skin type and needs, exfoliating 1-2 times a week can help remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. However, be careful to choose gentle exfoliating products to avoid over-cleansing that can lead to skin sensitivity.
