According to health news reports, choosing a facial cleanser that suits you is the first step to clean your skin. The principle of cleansing products is the same. The main components are oil phase, water phase, surfactant, humectant and so on. The amount of added ingredients determines the performance of the product, but by no means the more foam, the better.
Generally, products with more foam have stronger cleaning ability and are more suitable for oily skin groups. The products with more moisturizing ingredients have less foam and milder texture, which are suitable for dry skin groups.
Choose the facial cleanser that suits you. After use, the skin feels smooth and has no tightness. If you feel tight and astringent after washing your face every time, it may be too clean and destroy the integrity of the sebum membrane.
2, choose the right water temperature
Too cold and too hot water when washing your face is harmful to your skin and health. According to Hualong. Cold water can irritate the skin and destroy the capillaries of the skin. Although washing your face with cold water in the morning can achieve the purpose of waking up, it is not good for your health at all.
After a night's rest, the organs of the body are in a weak state. At this time, the blood flow on the face is slow. Washing your face with cold water will slow down the blood flow. When blood is not replenished, people easily faint.
On the other hand, washing your face with overheated water will remove skin oil, which is equivalent to removing the protective umbrella of the skin and is harmful to the skin. Generally speaking, when washing your face, the water temperature is about 35 degrees Celsius, which has a protective effect on your skin.
3. Use the correct cleaning method
China Women's Daily provides us with the correct cleansing method: take a small amount of facial cleanser in the palm, add a proper amount of water to make rich foam, massage in circles on the face, and rinse off.
In the process of cleaning, we should thoroughly clean the oil dirt hidden in the pores, but we should not over-clean it, otherwise it will destroy the protective film on the skin surface, increase oil secretion, form a vicious circle, cause pores to block and expand, and accelerate skin aging.
4. After washing your face, use a towel or paper towel with good water absorption to remove water.
Yang suggested that after washing your face, it is recommended to dry the water with a towel or paper towel with good water absorption instead of a towel. Towels are more or less rough, and rubbing hard will do harm to the skin. Over time, the skin is prone to wrinkles due to excessive stretching. If it is rubbed too dry, it will also increase the disposable water loss rate of the skin, which is not conducive to the skin's softness and anti-wrinkle maintenance.
It is worth noting that the face should not be excessively cleaned, otherwise it will be counterproductive. According to Life Times, excessive cleaning will lead to sebum loss, and the pressure of sebum membrane to inhibit the secretion of sebaceous glands will be reduced, but it will increase the secretion speed of sebaceous glands and secrete more oil, resulting in a shiny face.
Excessive cleaning will also cause damage to skin barrier function, increase skin water loss rate, lack of water, dryness and roughness. When the protective effect of skin is weakened, harmful microorganisms and external chemical, physical and biological factors are easy to invade or stimulate, especially vulnerable to ultraviolet rays, and it will be very painful to use skin cleanser and cosmetics.

Precautions for washing your face, don't damage your skin.
There are many factors that cause skin sensitivity, including internal factors such as age and endocrine, as well as external factors such as stress, bad mood, drinking, spicy and irritating diet. Among them, excessive cleaning is a very common and important cause of skin sensitivity.
The outermost layer of our skin is the stratum corneum, and there is a sebum membrane emulsified by sweat and sebum outside, which provides protection for the human body. Excessive cleaning and improper use of cosmetics (such as washing your face with alkaline soap) not only remove dust, aged keratin and microorganisms from the skin surface, but also destroy the normal sebum membrane, which will not achieve the purpose of skin care, but will destroy the skin.
Especially people with oily skin (such as acne) always want to clean up all the oil on their faces, hoping to improve the symptoms of hair follicle blockage and acne. As everyone knows, this will make the skin more oily.
Because there is feedback regulation in the local environment of skin, sebum membrane can inhibit the secretion of sebaceous glands. Excessive cleaning causes sebum loss, and the pressure of sebum membrane to inhibit the secretion of sebaceous glands decreases, but it increases the secretion speed of sebaceous glands and secretes more oil, resulting in a shiny face.
Excessive cleaning will also cause damage to skin barrier function, increase skin water loss rate, lack of water, dryness and roughness; The protective function is weakened, harmful microorganisms, external chemical, physical and biological factors are easy to invade or stimulate, especially vulnerable to ultraviolet rays, and there is a tingling feeling when using skin cleansing and cosmetics.
For people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to wash your face with water at 36℃~37℃ close to body temperature to avoid hot and cold irritation to the skin. Use mild soap-free cleansing products; Try not to use exfoliating products, and choose medical skin care products and physical sunscreen without spices, preservatives and small irritation; And pay attention to the rules of life and relax.
