Remove Makeup First
If yyou’regoing to do anything about your skin, you should start by removing makeup. Even if yyou’veonly been wearing makeup a few times this week, you still have layers of makeup sitting on your face.
Most people will have at least one layer of makeup that ddoesn’tcompletely wash off in the shower. This layer can be removed using a moisturizer or makeup remover.
After you remove this layer, you should clean your face with a cleanser such as a gentle face wash or an antibacterial soap.
Please don’t use a too-harsh soap because it can strip your skin of its natural oils. After yyou’vewashed your face, dry it with a towel.
It would be best to use a moisturizer on your face after yyou’vewashed and dried it. Many of these moisturizers come with a little stick that you can use to apply the product.
If you ddon’thave moisturizers, you can put a drop or two onto a clean tissue and wipe it across your face.
Use the same tissue every time you clean your face so that you can easily clean your face.
Apply A Light Exfoliant
Many people think that exfoliation is only important for those who suffer from acne and other skin problems. However, exfoliating is a great way to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve sskin’soverall appearance.
When you exfoliate, you gently rub your skin with an abrasive material, such as sugar, salt, or cornstarch.
You can exfoliate your face, neck, arms, hands, legs, feet, and scalp.
The easiest way to exfoliate your body is with a light scrub, such as a sugar scrub or salt scrub.
