How To Properly Use Face Wash For Acne

The process of washing your face may seem like a simple thing on the surface, but it’s the kind of thing that becomes so consistent that we rarely scrutinize the particulars of our face washing technique. Being meticulous is especially important if you have a skin condition, but these tips can help you keep your face clean and free of blemishes – even if acne has been a recurring issue in the past.

Make a Routine

While face wash for acne comes with some powerful ingredients that can help cleanse away the dirt and grime in your pores that leads to acne, there is no true miracle drug. Dirty and detritus builds up over the course of the day, and you should get in the habit of at least washing your face daily. Ideally, you want to wash your face once in the evening and once in the morning. Bacteria from your hair as well as fluids like drool can get on your face overnight. As a part of your routine, also be sure to get in the routine of regularly washing your pillows and linens.

Be Careful With the Temperature

Heat is one of the leading causes of dry and irritated skin, and that’s why you need to be careful about what temperature you use to wash your face. Hot water causes your blood vessels to dilate and potentially burst, leading to a redder and spottier complexion. On the opposite end of the spectrum, cold water isn’t an effective method for actually cleaning your face. Mildly warm water is the only way to wash your face, and that’s true even if you don’t have issues with acne.

 

Don’t be Afraid to Experiment

Everyone’s skin is different, and that means that you might not have the same response to a face wash, even if you’re both dealing with acne of similar severity. Don’t be afraid to try out new treatments, but make sure to at least give each one a chance. Two weeks should be enough time to figure out whether or not a new wash is actually going to relieve your acne. A dermatologist can help you find the right treatment for your type of skin, but trial and error can help you narrow down the products that will work for your face

Be Gentle

One of the main reasons for washing your face is to scrape off dead skin cells, so it might feel like more vigorous application of a face wash will produce more satisfying results. That’s not actually the case. The friction from hard scrubbing can further dry out and irritate your skin, and keeping the face wash on for longer will rarely lend better results. Your goal is to get a good lather that covers the entirety of your face. About half a minute applying your face wash before rinsing is going to be the sweet spot for most people.

Don’t Neglect Other Products

Your face wash helps clear out oil and dirt in your pores, but it doesn’t necessarily provide you with protection after the fact. That’s why your routine should include more than just a face wash. Moisturizers will provide an extra shield of protection while you’re out and about, and it should be applied quickly after using your face wash for the best level of protection. Depending on how much makeup you wear and the severity and nature of your acne, you may also need to make a makeup remover and an exfoliant a part of your morning and evening routines as well. Properly caring for your face may require new habits and a little bit of overhead, but it’s worth it for the confidence and clear skin it can bring.
