Steps

Part 1 of 2: Daily cleaning

1. 

   Find out what kind of skin your face is. Dry, oily or normal skin? You need to know this in order to choose the right care products. There are tons of facial care products on the market that can be confusing.
   • If your skin is normal, your skin has the right balance of moisture, oil, and elasticity. This is the purpose of clean skin care.
   • If the skin is oily, the skin will be shiny, greasy, and oily just a few hours after washing the face.
   • The skin is more likely to flake off if it is dry.
   • Sensitive skin feels tight or itchy and is prone to allergies when exposed to chemicals.
   • A lot of people have combination skin, which means areas with oily skin and other areas that are dry.

2. 

   
   
   Use a mild cleanser to wash your face 2 times a day. Wash once in the morning and once in the evening. Everyone has a different skin type and needs different products. You may have to try several types of cleanser to find the one that's right for you. Choose a cleanser that will wash away excess dirt, bacteria and oil without losing skin-healthy oils.
   • Choose a cleanser according to your skin type, makeup level and exercise level. For example, if you have oily skin, you need a low PH cleanser to wash off the oil more effectively. If you have sensitive skin, avoid chemical products.
   • Avoid regular soaps as they are too strong on your face and can strip your skin of natural oils.
   • It is best to wash your face with warm or cold water. Hot water will strip the skin of useful natural oils.
   • Wash your face after exercising to remove sweat, dirt, and oil that can clog pores.
   • If you don't want to use store-bought chemical products, you can make your own.

3. 

   
   
   Pat your face dry with a clean towel. Do not rub your face. Be gentle when drying out your skin, as facial skin is very sensitive. Make sure the towel you are using is clean, or else you will get bacteria on your face.

4. 

   Use rose water. While not an essential product, rose water can be helpful for those with oily skin, blemishes or heavily blocked pores. Rose water helps to remove excess sebum and dead skin from the skin after cleansing. This is a great way to add active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants and exfoliants to your skincare regimen.
   • Use rose water after washing your face. Use a clean cotton ball to dab the rose water on your forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone). Move the cotton gently in a circular motion, avoiding the eye area.
   • Choose a toner that suits your skin. Some rose water is formulated to unclog acne skin; Some other products contain anti-inflammatory properties for sensitive skin.
   • Many dermatologists recommend not using alcohol-based toners as they cause dry skin, even oily skin.

5. 

   
   
   Gently take care of the skin around the eyes. Do not rub your eyes or use strong makeup remover. The skin around the eyes is very fragile. Likewise, don't wake up by splashing cold water on your face in the morning.

6. 

   Do not touch your face. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pore inflammation. If you need to put powder or cream on your face, wash your hands first to make sure there is no oil left.
   • In addition, you should also avoid resting your face on objects that remove sebum oil and other facial substances, such as phones. Sebum is a light oil secreted from glands in the skin that moisturizes the skin and hair.

7. 

   Use makeup products appropriate for your skin type. Buy products that say "non-comedogenic" if possible, as they are formulated to prevent acne and do not clog pores.
   • Do not use expired makeup products. Skincare products have the same shelf life as a food. Using obsolete products will cause many harm.
   • Use mineral or water makeup instead of oil, as these can make your skin shiny and dull.

8. 

   Drink a lot of water. At least 8 glasses of water a day. Staying hydrated and drinking enough water helps your body function better, including maintaining skin health and cleanliness.

9. 

   Adhere to a healthy diet. A healthy diet includes fruits and vegetables, eliminating sugars and "junk" foods.
   • Use low-fat dairy products. Low-fat yogurt has vitamin A, a substance that is essential for the skin, and also contains acidophilus, a live bacteria that stimulates the health of the stomach, thereby also beneficial for the skin.
   • Eat antioxidant-rich foods such as blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and prunes.
   • Eat foods that provide essential fatty acids for healthy skin such as salmon, walnuts and flaxseeds. Essential fatty acids stimulate healthy cells, leading to healthier skin.

Part 2 of 2: Keeps facial skin clean for long

1. 

   Mask the skin. You can go to beauty salons or make your own at home. Choose a mask that suits your skin type. If you have oily skin, use a mask made for oily skin only.
   • A great home mask is a mixture of milk and honey. After mixing the ingredients, apply the mixture to your face for 30 minutes, then rinse your face with warm water.

2. 

   Exfoliate the skin. Gently exfoliate the dead cells to help remove dead skin cells on the face that can make the skin dark and rough. Exfoliate your dead skin every week or month. Don't do it more than once a week, as this can cause the skin to lose its essential oils.
   • A good exfoliating product can increase facial circulation, making it look healthy and radiant.
   • All you need to prepare your own cytoplasm is an exfoliating agent like sugar or salt, a blend like honey or water and a moisturizer like vitamin E oil, jojoba oil, and even olive oil. . If you have oily skin, you can use a banana or mashed avocado as a moisturizer.

3. 

   Get rid of acne. Squeezing pimples with your fingernails can be comforting, but it's the wrong way to treat acne! Wash your hands before touching the pimple to avoid infection.
   • Avoid touching or squeezing the pimple or it may cause inflammation. Squeezing pimples can cause scarring if you're not careful.
   • Apply a cold, wet cloth or tea bag to the affected area for 3 to 5 minutes a day. This will help reduce the itchy sensation.
   • Use an acne cream that contains 1 to 2% salicylic acid, which is less irritating than benzoyl.
   • Use a cotton swab to dab Visine on the pimple to reduce that swelling.

• You can also use Clarisonic to wash your face if you need a deeper wash.]

Warning

• Avoid excessive bathing during winter, when you want to extend hot baths. Bathing too much will cause skin to dry quickly.
• If you have sensitive skin, try applying a mixture of milk and honey to small areas before applying it all over your face.
• Allergic ingredients in a mask mix can cause a lot of reactions. If there is any unusual reaction, discontinue use and look for another product.
