Today I have a really quick tip about washing your face. I'm sure you never really thought about it, but here are my top tips for getting the best results from your facial cleanser!

- Wash your face at the end of your shower. As you shower you have body soaps, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, and all sorts of other products that might have ingredients you don't want sitting on your face. Waiting until the end of your shower to wash your face ensures that you are left with the cleanest skin possible at the end of your shower.
- Massage the cleanser into your face for 30 seconds to 1 minute in small circular motions. This seems like a long time, but to get the full benefits of your cleanser, wash your face for a bit longer than you think. This gives the cleanser time to break down oils, tighten pores, exfoliating ingredients to sluff away dead skin cells, and all the goodness of your cleanser to work.
- Dry your face with a clean towel. I actually have a number of small towels I reserve just for my face. If you don't care about the environment, you can also use a paper towel. The skin on your face tends to be more sensitive to bacteria (which can cause breakouts too!) Using a clean towel to dry your face helps reduce bacteria and leave you with the best complexion possible.
- Wash your face 2 times a day. Washing more than 2 times will dry it out. It's good to get all the environmental particles, oil and makeup off of your face at night. It's good to get all the oil and bacteria from your pillows off your face in the morning. Hooray.
I know this was a super super quick tip. But isn't that the point?
As Always,
Shine & Sparkle!
