Do you really know how to wash your face? Popular knowledge about facial cleansing

Washing your face is the basis of skin care, but many people wash their faces by rubbing foam on their face, rubbing it and then washing it off. They think that the longer they wash, the better, and the longer they rub, the cleaner it will be. So the question is, do you really know how to wash your face?

Do you really know how to wash your face?

People often make a mistake on a very basic question.

It is the matter of "cleansing". It can be said that cleaning is the most basic step in skin care.

For both acne removal, blackhead removal and pore tightening

The first step is to control oil

Two purposes: 1. Remove or absorb excess oil; 2. Reduce the synthesis of sebum;

The most basic way to control oil is to cleanse your face.

①Soap base - fatty acid + alkali

1-ALBION Healthy Soap

First of all, as a cleansing soap, it has excellent foaming ability. The rich and delicate foam can fully remove old cuticles, pore dirt, and makeup, prevent pores from being blocked, and inhibit acne formation. It is a cleansing soap that can remove makeup~

Because it contains concentrated coix seed essence, it can adjust the skin condition and restore the skin to a transparent, moist and soft state. The ingredients are the same as health water and it also has the effect of balancing the skin (isn’t this the feeling of washing your face with health water every day~), so everyone says it can nourish the skin (this is just for fun, the most basic function of facial soap is still cleaning...)

The feeling of use is pretty good. I don’t feel tight or dry after washing. Just wash your face with warm water. A good combination is a foaming net (I recommend MUJI’s). It is not recommended to use it every day for oily skin!

2-CPB Skin Care Foaming Cleanser

The soap-based composite amphoteric surfactant formula is milder than pure soap-based cleansers. The foam is rich, delicate and soft, like cream, giving your face the velvety feeling of being wrapped in soft marshmallows.

Personally, I feel that the moisturizing version is very nice to use in winter. It does not make your skin dry after washing, and you can feel the cleanliness and relaxation in your pores. The foam is very thick, but you will still feel a little tight not long after washing, so you have to take care of your skin quickly!

3-Erno Laszlo/Erno Laszlo Black Soap

This is Ah Miao's secret weapon. A few key words: created in 1927 + from New York, USA + Marilyn Monroe + Audrey Hepburn. Ah Miao has recommended their facial mask before, which is called "PS mask". In short, it is great. Ah Miao can talk about it for a long time, hahaha.

Many people think that the black soap itself is not the point, the point is the very ritualistic cleaning process: do not use the black soap directly on your face to wash, but soak the black soap in a basin, and use the water in the basin to wash - this is much gentler than using soap directly.

②Amino acid cleanser—A (lauroyl) + amino acid + B (sodium/potassium)

A-Meow is recommended for combination/oily/dry skin

You can (try to) choose amino acid cleansing

This is a relatively mild ingredient haha

You can also choose some mild cleansing

The key is gentleness
