A Fresh Start: The Right Way to Cleanse Your Face

Wash your hands first, then use lukewarm water and a cleanser suited to your skin. Massage with your fingertips rather than a rough cloth or scrub, and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean towel. If your face feels tight or uncomfortable afterwards, your cleanser or washing frequency may be too harsh for you.

Most people do not need to scrub their face repeatedly throughout the day. Cleanse after heavy sweating and at the end of the day to remove makeup, sunscreen, and everyday residue. Avoid getting cleanser in your eyes, and follow the label for any specialised product.
