Skin Cleansing - How to Cleanse your skin

When to clean your face? Skin must be cleansed frequently enough or infrequently enough, depending on its needs. It really does not matter when you clean it: most people opt for the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, simply because these times are convenient. Scientifically, going to bed in your make-up really will do your skin no harm, but it certainly won't do your bed linen any good. And since it is much easier to remove make-up from the face than from the linen, it would seem wiser to cleanse your face before going to bed. In the morning, cleansing the skin is very refreshing. Also, if you have to apply make-up, ou would get a better 'finish' on the just cleansed skin.

How often must you clean your face? Most people do this 2-3 times a day; this is adequate for normal skins. But, if your skin type is oily or if you are exposed to a lot of 'grime and dirt' during the course of the day, a more frequent cleaning is very essential - even 4-5 times a day may be necessary, using either a soap or some kind of cleansing agent.

If, on the other hand, your skin type is dry, it is possible to harm it with too frequent a cleaning, specially if you use very hot water. With this skin type, it is best to avoid too frequent washing and you may even have to use a suitable oil-based cosmetic cleanser instead of soap, which has a drying effect.

How you clean your face

If the end of the day cleansing involves removing make-up as well as grime and dirt that has accumulated during the day, then it should definitely be a thorough job. Provided you clean your face well at night, the morning session need not be too elaborate.
