Washing your face is important and there is a special three step process for washing your face every day. Lets look at hte process in detail and this should hopefully help you reduce tha acne that you suffer from.
Wash Your Face To Treat Acne
Keeping in mind these points wash your face with a suitable acne cleanser, using bare hands. Do not try washing clothes for this purpose as it will be harsh to skin. Be kind and be patient. Good cleansing is first step towards proper acne skin care. Now rinse thoroughly with clear running water. Once again do not rub dry, just pat dry using a clean towel. Always use a separate towel for your face and keep it away from the reach of others.
In the late afternoon or before dinner, again wash your face. And again later in the evening before you go to bed. This means that you will be washing your face four times a day and perhaps two or three of these times will be with soap. This is something that you will need to gauge for yourself as the water will clean your skin so you may not always need to use soap but of course soap is going to give you a much cleaner set of pores on your face and stop most breakouts from occurring due to greasy, oily skin.
Cleanse with a gentle hand. Vigorous rubbing can pop pimples and cause scarring.
Use a cleanser with acne-drying ingredients like salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide.
Moisturize sparingly. If you do decide to dab one on, make sure it’s a light formulation that’s noncomedogenic (meaning it won’t cause breakout).
Use oil-free makeup. Add oil from products to the oil already on your skin, and you can block pores, which results in more pimples.
Place a small amount (a dime-size) of the cleansing product on your palm or to a washcloth.
Using your fingertips or a brush gently rub the cleanser all over your face. Make sure you cover all areas ??? chin, forehead, nose, cheeks, neck. Massage your face with gentle circular motions for a minute. Remember: never remove the cleanser immediately after you apply it ??? let it penetrate your skin for a dew minutes (it usually takes one/ two minutes).
