Obviously spending the same money and using similar skin care products, why is your skin always not as good as others’? Even as the frequency of washing the face increases, the skin becomes more and more sensitive, greasy and dry at the same time.
In addition to genetic reasons, most of the problem is the way and “angle” of your face washing. How do people with good skin wash their faces?
An inertial movement makes the face more and more “rough”
In the process of washing your face, after you wet your face, which part will you focus on scrubbing? If you always focus on scrubbing your cheeks habitually, and ignore the “gully” on your face, your sensitive muscles may be getting closer and closer to you.
For most people, the focus of cleaning on the face should be the “gully” such as the seams on both sides of the nose, rather than the relatively clean cheeks.
Imagine: cheeks, cheekbones and other “flat” areas (compared to the sides of the nose) themselves are more susceptible to “physical attacks” from the wind and sun. They are over-cleaned again and again during the washing process, and the skin will become worse. The more sensitive…
Wash your face “against” the hair follicle
People who can’t clean their face can reflect on whether they are washing their face in the wrong direction. Human hair follicles grow downward at a 45° angle, so pay attention to the angle and technique when washing your face: gently rub it up at a 45° angle. Wrong direction of washing your face, not only will it not be clean, but it will also make you fall into the vicious circle of “the more you wash, the more sensitive you are”.
There is a natural barrier on the skin
What is good skin? A “4S standard”, namely smooth (Smooth), soft (Soft), shiny (Shining), beauty (Sexy). To achieve these four standards and stay away from sensitive muscles, you must pay attention to this step when washing your face.
The sebaceous glands on the surface of our skin secrete oil, and the sweat glands secrete sweat. The oil and sweat are cleverly and evenly mixed to form a layer of water and oil on the surface of the skin, which is a natural barrier for the human body. The meaning of this natural lipid film is to make the skin look shiny, smooth to the touch, and the most important thing is to protect the skin.
This layer of grease is weakly acidic. Once it is removed, it will take at least 36 hours to recover. If you wash your face with a strong alkaline facial cleanser and your skin feels tight after washing, it means that you have over-cleansed. If you wash frequently and the skin does not have enough rest time, problems will definitely occur after a long period of time.
How do people with good skin wash their faces
Unruly rubbing the most hurt skin, how do smart people wash their faces?
The best angle: opposite to the hair follicle
The human hair follicle grows downward at a 45° angle, and the stratum corneum is also distributed in scaly layers from top to bottom. Washing against the growth direction is beneficial to remove dirt.
The specific method is: wet your face, place the facial cleanser on the palm of your hand, wash the gully of your face first, and gently rub your hands up at a 45-degree angle.
Optimum water temperature: about 32℃
Scientific experiments have shown that the temperature of a human face is around 32°C, and it is recommended that the temperature of the face wash should also be kept at around 32°C. In the actual washing process, if you feel that it is impossible to make a precise judgment, you can feel it like this: slightly lower than the body temperature, it is better to feel warm to the touch, but not hot.
Best strength: gently massage in circular motions
After foaming the cleanser and applying it on the face, massage gently in circular motions, not too hard to avoid wrinkles. Massage about 15 times to spread the foam all over the face. Make gentle movements around the eyes, and gently press and clean with your fingers.
Best moisturizing time: within 3 minutes after washing your face
You should use a clean and soft towel to gently absorb moisture within 3 minutes after washing your face, and apply moisturizing cream when the skin is still damp. If you wait for the skin to dry before applying it, the active ingredients of the skin care products will be difficult to be absorbed by the skin, causing the skin to become oily or rough.
Dermatologist demonstrates 7-step facial washing method
The dermatologist demonstrated the whole process of washing the face for everyone. In general, the order of the middle and then the surroundings was adopted, focusing on the cleansing of the middle area and the outer edge.
The first two steps: wash the nose and both sides; the third step: wash the middle area; the fourth step: wash around the chin; the fifth step: repeat the wash; the sixth step: gently bring the tip of the nose; seventh Step: Wash the forehead.
The sun and wind damage the cheeks and cheekbones first. Therefore, moisturizers and creams should be applied to the cheekbones and cheeks first, and then gradually pushed away towards the ears. The excess is applied to the chin and the excess is applied to the forehead , the last is to apply facial gully. The same goes for sunscreen.
Both “washing” and “moisturizing” are done correctly, so that every face wash becomes “effective skin care”.
