Cleaning Your Face Properly
Do you think you clean your face properly? You would think that we would all know by now how to clean our faces; after all we do it everyday.
During the course of the day we get a build up of many different impurities on our face that can clog our pores and give us that washed out complexion. These impurities come from:
- grime
- make-up
- sunscreen
- excess oils
- excess sebum
- and several other sources
Some of these sources are the conditions in the area that we live in, and others are how we live, eat, sleep and cope with the things in our lives.

Many of us touch our face throughout the day and the impurities that we carry on our hands get transferred to our face each time we touch it. We can also be in the habit of leaning on our chin at the office, or even touching between our eyebrows while adjusting our glasses or sunglasses. All of these actions can lead to a build up of dirt that can block our pores. For these reasons it is important to cleanse our facial skin by washing it at least twice a day. This is essential in keeping the skin clean and healthy while allowing it to breathe.
You will need a skin cleanser that suits your skin type, as some of them can be too harsh for people with sensitive skin. Buy a cleanser that is for your particular skin type. Look and read the labels of the skin care products to see whether it is recommended for sensitive skin, oily skin, or if it suits your skin type needs. Sensitive skin is often drier and a cleanser for oily skin will be too harsh and could cause a reaction. By using a suitable cleanser each night you will be cleansing the impurities that have build up during the day in your pores. This allows you to have a great nights sleep on a clean pillow and not allow built up grime to create more problems for your skin.
