How to wash and exfoliate your face correctly

1. Clean your entire face with facial cleanser first. Use a facial cleanser to cleanse your face, and clean the T-zone and forehead with circular motions from bottom to top. For the sides of the nose in the T-zone, rub in circles from the very bottom of the nose to the tip of the nose. For the cheeks, rub in circles over a large area from bottom to top.

2. Start from the tip of the nose which is most prone to oiliness. Gently rub the exfoliant on your fingertips. The temperature of your fingers can make it easier for the exfoliator to dissolve the keratin plugs on the nose. Massage the sides of the nose in a circular motion. Use the fingertips of both hands to massage the bridge of the nose alternately up and down for 2-3 minutes. The operation time should not be too long.

3. Next is the chin where dead skin cells easily accumulate. The lymph nodes on both sides of the chin need to be massaged in circles frequently with exfoliating products. In addition, use the joints of your fingers to press the two bones next to your cheeks. This will not only remove dullness, but also create a small V-face for you!

4. The forehead is also a severely affected area and needs to be cleaned carefully. Improper cleaning can easily cause clogged pores and acne on the forehead. Therefore, when exfoliating, you should start from the corners of the eyes to the forehead, and then from the forehead back to the corners of the eyes, and massage in circles in this way three times.

5. Finally, the cheeks are the most sensitive and easily injured. The cheeks are prone to allergies, so when exfoliating, just brush gently and be careful to avoid using excessive force.

6. After exfoliating your entire face, wash it off with water. Then apply astringent lotion and lotion to the skin.
