If you wash your face with soap. Can you wash with soap? The view of a specialist. Is it true that the more you wash your face, the clearer your skin is?

Wash off the foam with water and pat your face dry. Use warm water to rinse your face. Make sure you wash off all the foam. Use a towel to pat your face dry. Do not rub hard, as this irritates the skin and stimulates the appearance of wrinkles.

Use a facial toner. If you want your skin to look smooth and even, use a facial toner. Apply tonic with a cotton swab, paying special attention to places where the pores are enlarged.

Finish the whole process with a moisturizer. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type. The moisturizer helps protect the skin and keeps it looking young and radiant.

• If you wash your face before bed, use a nighttime moisturizer.
• If you'll be going out, use a moisturizer with an SPF, preferably SPF 15 or higher.

Wash your face with acne prone skin

Wash your face twice a day. You can do this in the morning and in the evening. Washing your face in the morning, you refresh the skin of the face and cleanse it of bacteria. When you wash your face in the evening, you remove sweat, dirt and makeup from your skin. However, do not wash your face more than twice, as frequent washing dries out the skin of the face.

Use a cleanser that suits your acne-prone skin type. Regular cleansers can only exacerbate the problem. Chemicals, alcohol, and oils can irritate the skin and clog pores even more. Choose a tool that will help you solve your problem.

Do not exfoliate. Many acne sufferers make this mistake. Using a scrub can only exacerbate the problem and cause more inflammation. If your skin has acne, it needs special care. Even if you're exfoliating, use products that won't cause more damage to your skin.

• Instead of a facial scrub, use a washcloth to rub your face in a circular motion.
• Never use a brush if your skin is acne prone.

Do not wash with hot water. Hot water can irritate the skin of the face, making it red and inflamed. Therefore, wash only with cool water. Also, avoid steaming your face, as this can exacerbate the problem.

Blot your face gently. If your skin is acne prone, do not use a terry towel. Buy a soft towel to simply pat your skin dry. Wash your towel as often as possible to avoid introducing pathogenic bacteria.

Use a moisturizer. If your skin is prone to acne, this leads to clogged pores quickly. Choose a cream that can be used for your skin type. If you decide to use an oil-based moisturizer, you can test it on a small patch of skin. Apply the cream and wait a few days, evaluate the result. Now you can decide whether to use this cream or not.

• Aloe soothes irritated skin and gives it a healthy glow.
• If your skin is very oily, don't use moisturizer at all, or only apply it to areas where your skin is dry.

Wash dry skin

Wash your face once a day. If you have very dry skin, wash your face no more than once a day. Do this in the evening before bed to wash makeup off your face. In the morning, simply rinse your face with warm water or wipe with a damp cloth. After that, apply a moisturizer.

Use gentle soap or oil as your cleanser. Choose the right cleanser so that your skin does not become even more dry. For your skin type, a dry skin cleanser or oil will work.

• If you use oil, simply wet your face with water and apply oil (almond, olive, jojoba, coconut, etc.) Use a tissue to wipe your face in circular motions, then rinse off with warm water.
• If you choose to use a store-bought product, please note that it must not contain lauryl sulfate or laureate sulfate. Sulfates are very drying to the skin.

Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells. If you have very dry skin, do this more than once or twice a week. Scrub your skin in circular motions with a soft washcloth. This will remove all dead skin cells.

• If your skin is very dry, you can exfoliate with oil. Dip the corner of a soft towel or cotton swab into coconut oil (or any oil of your choice). Rub the oil using circular motions. This will not only exfoliate the skin, but will also be good nutrition for it.
• Do not use a washcloth, brush or any other abrasive material. Dry skin is more prone to wrinkles than normal or oily skin, so be extra careful.

Rinse your skin with cool or warm water. Hot water will dry out the skin, so use cool or warm water to rinse. In addition, there is no need to rinse the skin with plenty of water. You can simply wipe your face with a damp cloth.

Hello girls! In this article, we will talk about how to properly wash your face so that your face remains young and beautiful for as long as possible, and your skin is fresh and clean.

Here - in simple language about everything you wanted to know about washing)

Why is it important to learn how to wash properly?

Washing is a very common process. Most girls do it automatically, while thinking about the problems, about the events of the day and whether or not to eat another piece of chocolate before bed.

However, the ecology is now to hell, the pace of life is fast, and washing goes anyhow, according to an accelerated version and “back off”. And then it turns out “there was a girl, she was to blame” ...

From the quality and correctness of washing, oh how much your beauty depends and how old you will look at fifty: 40 or all 65.

Moreover, improper washing can harm no less than low-quality cosmetics or chemical cream.

Plus, very often, although not always, skin problems (acne, acne, oiliness, dryness) are the result of improper skin care.

Smart girls are those girls who are wondering: how to at least wash your face correctly in order to preserve the beauty, health and youthfulness of your face for a long time?

After all, it is the face that is the first business card of each of us, and bad water, bad cosmetics, malnutrition, stress, lack of sleep and much more crumple, pollute and spoil this card.

We wash our faces twice a day, and look:

• if you wash your face incorrectly, then every day, over and over again, you provoke a deterioration in the condition of your skin and its faster withering
• if you wash your face correctly, then every day, over and over again, you maintain your beauty and delay skin aging, making your face well-groomed ().

Washing myths:

Previously, some women were firmly convinced that the secret to facial beauty was washing with ordinary soap and ice water. Well, because a famous actress said so.

And the actress, apparently, was either mistaken herself, or deliberately lied to the audience - why reveal secrets? ..

Be that as it may, washing with ordinary soap and only ice water is wrong.

Can you wash with regular soap?

Look: soap is an alkali, but our body defends itself against bacteria, viruses, fungi and other filth with an acidic environment, which is neutralized by alkali.And now, the acidic environment weakens, bacteria climb into the cells, destroy them, the skin deteriorates.

Some girls use such a harsh soap, which can wash away sins. And after that they feel a pleasant tightness of the skin and think that this means that the skin is so tightened.

In fact, in the soap strategy, the skin dries, dehydrates, irritates, cells dry. And this is fraught earlier appearance of wrinkles .

If you want soap, use baby soap or another very mild one. Or homemade, the composition of which does not scare you.

By the way, you should forget about ordinary soap, including when it comes to intimate hygiene ().

Can I wash my face with ice water?

You can if your skin is not prone to rosacea. But not with her alone, because if you start washing with ice water, then the pores will immediately become very narrow. And then you will not be able to qualitatively clean them from the dirt that has accumulated during the day or night.

Is it true that the more you wash your face, the clearer your skin is?

Technically yes. But in strategy, frequent washing leads to problems: with frequent washes, the own protective film of the face disappears - and this, again, is rapid dehydration, penetration of bacteria, and the production of excess fat by the skin.

Therefore, two washings a day are quite enough, and the evening should be more thorough.

We talked about how wrong, now let's learn how to wash ourselves in the morning and in the evening properly. First, I will give 10 rules, after which we will discuss each of them in detail.

10 rules of quality washing:

• wash twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. Do not skip morning washing - the face is also dirty during the night.
• use micellar water
• start washing with warm water (not hot, but warm. You can - at room temperature).
• use gentle cleansers instead of soaps and alcohol-based lotions.
• do not spare the cleanser and cotton pads - you need to clean the skin to a clean cotton pad.
• finish washing with cold water for contrast
• if you have hard water, do a “control” face rinse with water from a good filter, boiled water or herbal decoction
• do not dry your face with a towel, but gently pat it dry with a disposable paper towel
• after washing, use a skin toning agent (ice / tonic / compresses)
• then close the skin with a nourishing and moisturizing agent (cream / oil / mask)

• if you are going to remove eye makeup with mascara, first place a cotton pad moistened with micellar water under the lower eyelashes
• if cleansing went badly, use oil
• you can finish washing with useful things: milk, kefir, mineral water
• feed your skin with vitamins after washing

And now let's talk in more detail about each rule, after which I will give step-by-step instructions for morning and evening washing:

What you need to know about cleansing and nourishing the skin:

Wash your face twice a day

Wash your face twice a day: in the morning and in the evening . Rarely is not necessary. More often, as needed.

Necessity is not when you have pimples or blackheads (more frequent washing will only hurt), but when, for example, your photo shoot is over and you need to remove heavy makeup to put on your usual one and go meet friends.

Or if you are after a workout. Or if you work in a very dirty and dusty place, then you can also wash yourself once again.

Do not forget to wash your face in the morning: at night and at night we do not drink water, the body and skin are a little dehydrated. Plus, whether you like it or not, a certain amount of dust and bacteria flying in the air settles on your face overnight, mixing with sebum and cream residue.

And if you also rarely change pillowcases, then dangerous tenants who need to be washed off also move from pillowcases to your face.

If you don't, hello inflammation, pimples and clogged pores.

Use micellar water

To avoid confusion: use micellar water BEFORE washing with regular water. It is possible and instead - a little later I will tell you in what cases.

Micellar water is a very gentle cleanser. Micelles (compounds that are the active component of this water) bind well with grease, dirt and chemicals, as if taking them from your face and taking them with them into uncharted sewer distances.

There is no alkali and alcohol in it, so there should be no dryness, no irritation, no allergies from micellar water (unless you managed to buy a fake).

Micellar water can be left on (i.e., to wash with micellar water without ordinary water) if you have an allergy that is aggravated by water, or if you didn’t have makeup on before washing (as in the morning, for example). But in this case, micellar water must be of exceptional quality and must be marked “does not require rinsing with water.”

If you remove makeup with micellar water, rinsing is a must. Otherwise, all the rubbish will remain on your face.

How to use:

• if it is micellar water, apply it on a cotton pad (do not save). We put another cotton pad, slightly moistened with micellar water, under the lower eyelashes (so that the dirt is rubbed off on it. But this is if the eye makeup is powerful). We apply the first disc for a few seconds to the eye, then with gentle movements, without stretching the skin and without friction, remove makeup from it. We repeat the same with the second eye. Then we remove makeup from the entire face.
• if it is a micellar gel, then a cotton pad is not needed: gently massage the entire face with the fingertips with the gel, then wash off this porridge with water.

As for me, I enjoy using Garnier micellar water (such a transparent bottle with a pink cap). It is for all skin types, girls really like it, it cleanses perfectly.

And I always wash it off with water, incl. in the morning.

Keep in mind that if you are wearing very light makeup (let's say only eye shadow and lip gloss), then you don't need to use other cleansers.

If you have a solid layer of cosmetics, then use an additional cleanser.

Start washing with warm water

Do not wash your face with hot water to avoid the appearance of a vascular network on your face. Do not wash your face very cold - the pores will narrow, and it will not be possible to clean them qualitatively.

Alternatively, you can start washing with comfortable cool water, but we still need to slightly open the pores for better cleansing, so warm water is the best choice.

Use gentle cleansers

Micellar water is very good for primary cleansing and for the complete cleansing of mild impurities. But if you are wearing a lot of cosmetics or you just feel that the pollution is strong (dust, grease, sweat ...), then an additional deeper and more effective cleansing of the skin is necessary.

It could be foam, mousse, lotion, milk (they are best for dry to normal skin) or gel(if you have oily skin, it is better to choose a gel) - everything to your taste. More precisely, the taste of your skin: it is necessary that after cleansing the skin does not itch, does not shrink, does not turn red and does not remain unpleasantly oily.

Here you will need a product that is not entirely composed of alcohol or petroleum products. and which is right for you. In order not to harm the skin, I would recommend Clinique or Vichy products for your skin type.

Buy these funds in official online stores (Vichy - here and Clinique - here), in order to do without pharmacy cheating prices and not fall for fakes. Plus, there are all sorts of promotions constantly taking place and there are loyalty programs.

In addition to cleansers, from time to time I buy creams, serums and gifts for my girlfriends, sometimes thermal water (when winter and batteries are scalded or when it is very hot outside).

• If you are already 18 years old with a little (+ 200-300 months), pay attention to anti-aging programs.
• If you have very sensitive skin, then conventional products add stress to your skin, so pay attention to cosmetics laroche-posay- it is sharpened specifically for sensitive skin.
• If you have problematic skin, then be sure to check out Clinique products.

(But keep in mind: if your digestive tract or hormonal levels are spoiled, then do not forget to deal with them. And I had a friend whose acne was visible even to astronauts on the space station - she kept complaining that no cosmetics helped. It turned out that not cosmetics do not help, but gastritis muddies the water).

Apply these products (cleansers) not on dry, but on wet skin - they need contact with water. Spread the product over the face with soft circular movements with your finger along the massage lines, from the center to the hairline and down. Take your time.

Of course, such cleansing must be washed off with water - also warm and properly: it is impossible for particles of the cleanser to remain on your skin! Otherwise, they will continue to dry the skin, clog pores and disrupt cellular processes.

About exfoliators

Once a week or once every two weeks, you can additionally use a scrub to exfoliate dead skin particles (lightly massage the skin with a scrub, no harsh movements and rubbing, otherwise you will get acquainted with skin microtraumas!)

I do not recommend any hard sponges and brushes for the face: again, the danger of microtrauma. Plus, you need to wash them after each use so thoroughly (they are a bacteria party!), It's easier to buy new ones every time.

Spare no cleanser and cotton pads

A good cleansing is the key to youth and beauty of your skin, do not underestimate its importance.

If you skimp on cleansers, you will under-cleanse your skin. Plus, if there is too little cleanser on a cotton pad, you will inevitably rub and stretch the skin, which is also harmful.

My golden rule is cleanse the skin to a clean cotton pad . At the same time - no friction, tension, stretching of the skin!

I don’t wear heavy makeup, I very rarely use foundation, powder and all sorts of things (why, if the skin is good and the tone is even? ..) - I need 3 cotton pads for complete cleansing. If the makeup is more serious - 4-5 discs.

If cleansing went badly, use oil

With micellar water and a good cleanser, cleansing can go badly except under the eyes (if you were wearing mega-mascara). Then black spots will appear under the eyes.

They can be easily removed if you apply some healthy oil to a cotton pad or Q-tip (olive, coconut, argan...) and gently wipe the dirty area.

Oils are also good at picking up dirt, and some girls use them instead of cleansers (for example, they applied olive oil all over their face, massaged it, washed it off). But you need to be careful with this, because some of the oil may remain in the pores along with dirt. And then ugly comedones will come out on your beloved face.

Finish washing with cold water

After you have thoroughly washed off the last particles of the cleanser with warm water, you can rinse your face 2-3 times with cold water.

Firstly, contrasting temperatures are useful for blood vessels (so they will work better and better transfer nutrition to the skin and muscle cells of the face). Secondly, this way we cover the pores.

But! If you have rosacea (vascular networks on the face) - avoid extreme temperatures: neither hot nor very cold water is good for you.

And remember: contrast washing is not when you first scalded your face with super-hot water, and then doused it with ice-cold water - no. No need to rush to temperature extremes.

Control rinsing of the face

I don't know where the good water is running from the pipes now. And if you live in a metropolis, then the matter is generally a pipe.

And it would be better not to finish washing with tap water: something bad will still remain on your face.

Therefore, it is very useful to resort to a control wash: finally complete the wash by rinsing the face with something softer, cleaner and more beneficial, for example:

• boiled water (cooled, of course)
• water from a good filter
• a decoction of chamomile and / or nettle (this green is sold in a pharmacy in filter bags, it says how to brew this thing)

I use only the second method, because then I use ice with nettle and chamomile, about it - a little later.

Other control rinse options:

• non-carbonated low-mineralized mineral water
• milk or kefir (the option is not suitable for oily and problem skin)

But keep in mind that in order to use mineral water, milk or kefir, you must know your skin type and the quality of the product very well (I would be afraid to wash my face with store-bought milk or kefir - what if there are preservatives, steroids and any other rubbish that is not declared in the composition ... they taste completely different from what they used to be (so the grandmother in me spoke))

As for the mineral water, the composition is also very important in it. The high amount of salts and minerals in ordinary mineral water may be good for the digestive system, but it's not guaranteed to be good for your face.

Therefore, if you understand the composition of mineral water - use it. If not, it’s better to buy thermal water: it saturates the skin with the same microelements, but in exactly the right amount for the face.

Wipe your face with a paper towel

Leave the towel in your hands. The skin on the face must be handled very delicately, and towels rubbing against the skin are not the best option.

In the departments of household chemicals, rolls of disposable wipes have long been sold - they are very convenient to blot your face. They are inexpensive and last a long time (if it is thick).

If there is no roll, blot your face with regular wipes. They just aren't that easy to use.

You can also blot with a towel, but make sure that:

• you change it at least once a week (to keep bacteria from accumulating)
• other people don't use it
• it is very soft
• you do not wipe your face with it, but you blot it

tone your skin

Micellar water and cleanser is to cleanse the skin. Creams, oils and masks - to nourish and moisturize it.

And the tonic is needed so that AFTER washing (when the pores are clean), but BEFORE the cream (and sometimes instead, if you don’t use the cream), balance the pH of the skin after contact with water and cleansers and suck something useful into the pores before applying the cream .

Tonics are different (tonics, lotions, some of them need to be washed off, some do not). Cucumbers, green tea, ice cubes with herbs are also tonics.

Thermal water is also essentially a tonic: it contains vitamins and microelements that are beneficial for the skin, good for improving intercellular metabolism, and improves skin protection from bad external influences.

Purchased tonics are made with anything: with essential oils, with healing components, with antioxidants and amino acids, with hyaluronic acid and vitamins ...

In general, read the compositions, choose any or make tonics yourself, try and track the reaction of the skin - what will she like more?

When buying a toner, choose alcohol-free, as organic as possible, and preferably leave-in. If you choose thermal water, the one that is sprayed on the face is very convenient.

Tone the skin after washing in the morning and evening. More often - it is possible, especially if the air is stuffy, hot, dry.

Rubbing your face with ice

I haven’t used purchased tonics for a long time (except for thermal water, but I already wrote about it). I really like the effect ice cubes with herbs .

I make a decoction of nettle and chamomile, brew strong green tea. And I freeze two dice with ice: in one cubes with green tea (only green tea should be of high quality, and not the remnants of production), in the second - cubes with nettle and chamomile.

I use green-tea ice cubes in the morning after washing, chamomile-nettle - at night after washing.

You need to drive ice over the face carefully, along the massage lines, not forgetting the lower jaw, neck and décolleté. When the whole thing is absorbed and dries (after 3 minutes), you can close the pores with cream.

If you have never done this, it will be very cold at first, and the brain will scream: “Why are you torturing your face with ice, woman ?!.” But once you get used to it, you will experience a thrill from the procedure of rubbing the skin with ice cubes, I promise)

Is it possible to wipe the face with ordinary ice cubes, without herbs or green tea? Maybe why not. But the benefit from this case is minimal.

Do not use ice if you have rosacea. In this case, just do a control wash with a decoction of herbs. Or buy some tonic. And also - eat less sweets and treat rosacea.

Nourish the skin (apply cream or oil, if necessary - serum or mask)

After the face is cleansed, washed and toned, you need to close the whole thing with something. Only well-cleansed skin can take full advantage of creams and oils.

About cream

After the tonic has been absorbed, you can apply the cream on your face.

If possible, buy organic creams and store them in the refrigerator. Organic - these are not those that are beautifully called (some kind of "recipes" or "herbs" or "natural line"), but which actually contain organics.

You can use the cream both in the morning and in the evening, just for the morning the cream should be lighter. And before going to bed, you can use a more nourishing cream or “feed” the skin with oil.

I am not a chemist and I don’t know if the skin really gets used to the product if you use the same cream for a long time ... Therefore, just in case, I use different ones: when purely organic (I will write about them separately), when Vichy when Korean with some kind of snail garbage or goat milk, when else what ...

I love creams) And I keep everything in the refrigerator.

About oils

But my greatest love (and the love of my skin, my lips and my hair) is this is coconut oil(there is a discount on this link;)). It is simply amazing!

This is my second jar (I'm running out, though, I'll be ordering a new one soon), one is enough for a year for the face, lips, and hair.

Whichever coconut oil you choose, make sure it's the same: organic, extra virgin, non-GMO.

Day after day, I use it instead of a cream, but only before bed (I use a day cream in the morning).

I do it like this: I take a little oil in the center of my palm, rub it between my palms ( natural coconut oil hardens at normal temperature , and body heat warms it up). Then I successively apply palms with oil to the face over the entire area, then to the neck and décolleté.

So I go to sleep. The main thing here is not to apply a lot on the face - the skin still won’t absorb everything, but will take only what it needs.

I apply the same oil on my lips at night instead of a balm, I make hair masks with the same oil and sometimes moisturize the skin of my body with the same oil. And it smells like Raffaello with an admixture of a miracle! ..

And what an effect from it - both on the skin and on the hair! The main thing with him is not to overdo it: it is very greasy, and if you smear it heavily, then everything will not be absorbed, and then it will not be very easy to wash it off.

In general, you can also cook with this oil (it’s sooooo useful), but I haven’t tried it, I cook with olive oil, and this is for my beauty and youth)

Some girls use olive oil or argan oil instead of cream at night, but I prefer coconut oil. It seems to be a total benefit. But if you choose another oil, make sure it is of very high quality.

And you don’t need to pick up too much oil in your hands and “wash” your face with it - the skin still won’t take everything. Soaking the face with oil is enough.

About masks

You may want to apply some kind of nourishing (if you are 18+) or firming (if you are 30+) night mask instead of a cream. You can do this a couple of times a week.

About serums

Perhaps, before the cream (not instead, but BEFORE the cream and AFTER the tonic), you will want to apply some kind of serum. Serum is a thing that is aimed at solving a specific problem of a girl (oily skin, dry skin, age spots, anti-inflammatory, skin lifting, acne ...)

Choose your serum for your problem . But remember that serum is a very concentrated thing, so you need to use literally 2-3 drops, driving them into the skin with your fingertips.

Serum (unless otherwise written on it) should be covered with cream. Sometimes serum and cream are paired to enhance each other. Serum cannot be used all the time, only courses.

About vitamins

A couple of times a week I add vitamins to the cream (which is for the night and which is not coconut oil). I buy aevit in a pharmacy and sometimes vitamin A separately and vitamin E separately.

I put the cream in the center of my palm, drip a drop of vitamin there (or squeeze out the contents of one aevit ball), rub the whole thing between my palms and, as in the case of coconut oil, successively apply my palms to my face over the entire area.

And now let's collect all of the above in a clear instruction: how to wash your face in the morning and in the evening.

Washing at night is more serious. Morning cleansing is easier, but still just water is not enough: water will not dissolve sebum mixed with the remnants of evening cream, dust and cells that have died overnight. Therefore, do not refuse to wash your face with micellar water in the morning.

Step-by-step procedure for washing in the evenings:

1. wash my hands well
2. micellar water to clean disc
3. washing with warm water
4. cleanser (gel/mousse/foam/milk/lotion)
5. washing with warm water
6. a little oil on a cotton swab, if the eyes are not completely cleared
7. washing with cold water
8. nourishing cream or oil (if necessary - serum or mask)

Step-by-step procedure for washing in the morning:

1. wash my hands well
2. micellar water
3. washing with warm water
4. washing with cold water
5. control wash (filter / boiled water / herbs)
6. blotting face with paper towel
7. skin toning (ice/tonic/thermal water/cucumbers…)
8. light day cream

It may seem - "oh, how many things, but my fish are not fed, my husband is not stroked, the wheat is not harvested - when will I have time to do everything? .."

But in fact, if you get used to acting according to a clear pattern, then a complete high-quality washing in the evening will take no more than 10 minutes, and in the morning - even faster.

Girls, I know that the article turned out to be very long, but the topic is also important. Therefore, I want to fix it properly:

10 washing mistakes:

• do not wash your hands before washing (washing with dirt and bacteria from your hands is not cool)
• wash with ordinary soap (dries the skin)
• wash your face with hot water (you can earn rosacea, oily skin may increase)
• use a bunch of products in one procedure (stress for the skin)
• rub hard with a cotton pad when removing makeup (skin stretches)
• use products that have not been cleaned for a long time (sponges, brushes, towels)
• forget about the neck, hair growth area and the area near the ears (they also get dirty)
• washing too often or aggressively (impaired skin barrier function)
• wipe your face with a towel (you need to blot, better - with a paper towel)
• (do this if you don't appreciate the youth of the face)

And finally, parting words:

To avoid acne, irritation, so that the skin looks much better, some girls just need to start washing themselves properly.

But remember: your skin needs competent individual care. Don't copy any blogger's skincare exactly, try and look for products that are right for you, for your age and skin type.

You will feel if something suits you: the skin quickly responds to useful and proper care for it. It will begin to look objectively better, fresher, the pores will become barely noticeable, the complexion will be more even, the skin will begin to glow from the inside - all this cannot be overlooked.

Well, of course, there will be no discomfort, inflammation, redness, dryness, oiliness, acne and clogged pores (unless your problem is in malnutrition or problems with hormones or the gastrointestinal tract), but wrinkles and fading will be delayed for a long time .

Oh, and whatever you do with your face - be 10 times more careful with the skin around the eyes.

Oh, girls, how I missed this article at one time in order to clearly understand what and why should be, how and with what to wash properly, how and with what - wrong ...

I really hope that the article will be useful to you) Young and healthy skin to you! =)

With the expansion of the range of cosmetics intended directly for washing the face, the question: “Can I wash my face with soap?” - sounds more and more often. What factors influence the answer?

Using facial soap

Can you wash your face with soap? The use of this product is acceptable in the following situations:

• There is a recommendation of a dermato-cosmetologist.
• The soap is intended directly for the skin of the face.
• The use of a product to solve certain cosmetic problems (presence of acne, blackheads, inflammation).
• The presence of oily skin type, combination. For owners of dry skin, it is necessary to use products that provide the most gentle cleansing and intensive moisturizing, such as cream soap, soufflé soap or liquid soap.

In any case, soap for washing should be intended exclusively for the face. If the product says “for the body” or “for the legs”, then you should not use such a product to remove makeup.

Washing the skin with soap is contraindicated in the following situations:

• The product is not intended for the face.
• During the rehabilitation period after the cosmetic procedure.
• The presence of microcracks, abrasions.
• Couperose.

Can you wash your face with soap every day? With oily skin type, the daily use of a product intended for problematic dermis is not prohibited. With dry skin, washing with soap should be no more than three to five times a week, but subject to the use of a special product recommended for owners of this particular skin type.

Products for oily skin

What kind of soap can you wash your face in the absence of contraindications? Most often, with frequent ablutions, the following products are used:

• Baby soap is a product made from high quality natural ingredients such as aloe, string, chamomile. Is baby soap suitable for face wash? Despite the fact that this product is not intended for this, the presence of hypoallergenic components in the composition makes it safe. However, it is not recommended to abuse it.


• Liquid soap is an analogue of ordinary solid soap, distinguished by its hygiene. Gently affects the skin, providing gentle cleansing.
• Natural soap, made on the basis of vegetable oils, glycerin and other natural ingredients, provides maximum hydration and nourishment.
• Cosmetic soap is a kind of toilet soap, a feature of which is the presence of components that provide intensive moisturizing. This product can be used for washing every day.
• Hygienic soap - a product with a hypoallergenic composition (oak bark, thyme, chamomile), ideal for owners of sensitive skin types.

Some owners of an oily type of dermis wash themselves with ordinary soap (not intended for this type of skin) in order to eliminate shine and narrow pores. However, this only worsens the situation, since the soap that dries the epidermis only activates the production of sebum.

Products used for a person with an oily skin type should perform the following tasks:

• Thorough pore cleansing.
• Intensive hydration.
• Elimination of inflammation, irritation.
• Normalization of the production of sebaceous secretion.

After washing, regardless of the type of skin, it is recommended to apply a light moisturizer. This will provide additional hydration and nutrition to the skin of the face.
