Yes! Here's a quick step-by-step guide on how to properly cleanse your skin and prep it for the next steps in your routine:
π§Ό 1. Cleanse Your Skin
Choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type:
-
Dry/Sensitive Skin: Cream or hydrating gel cleanser
-
Oily/Acne-Prone Skin: Foaming or salicylic acid cleanser
-
Normal/Combination Skin: Gentle gel or low-foam cleanser
πΉ How to cleanse:
-
Wet your face with lukewarm (not hot) water
-
Apply a dime-sized amount of cleanser to your fingertips
-
Gently massage it into your skin in circular motions for about 30–60 seconds
-
Focus on the T-zone, hairline, and jawline
-
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
π¦ 2. Gently Pat Dry
-
Use a clean, soft towel
-
Pat your skin instead of rubbing it—this prevents irritation
-
Leave your skin slightly damp to lock in hydration for your next skincare steps (like serum or moisturizer)
