How to Wash Your Face

Washing your face is a simple task; however, it actually causes more harm than good if done improperly. You probably notice someone's face before anything else, so it is important to keep it looking its best at all times. Follow this simple guide to learn how to wash your face the right way and to get that natural glow you desire.

1. First: Do the prep work

   If you have long hair, pull it back and use clips to get your bangs out of your face. Make sure your neck is also clear of hair. Remove the germs from your hands with a good antibacterial hand soap; this keeps you from spreading germs onto your face as you wash.

2. Second: Get a good lather

   Select a cleaner that is appropriate for your skin type. Whatever you do, never use regular body soap. This is very drying and does not rinse away very easily. Place a nickel-sized dot of wash in the palm of your hand, and rub both hands together to form dense foam.

3. Third: Apply to your face

   It should take you about 30 seconds to massage the foam into your skin. Pay careful attention to the T-zone area, which includes your forehead and nose. Do not forget to wash your neck as well. Use lukewarm water to rinse the cleanser from your face, and pat your face dry with a towel. Enjoy your fresh, glowing face!
