What's the best way for boys to wash their faces?

Compared to male friends, female friends use a lot of different types of cosmetics and facial cleansers. Although there are many skin care products for men on the market, there are not many types and the choice is limited. So, for male skin, what is the best facial cleanser for men? In fact, as long as it is suitable for everyone, it is fine. However, when washing your face, men must avoid some misunderstandings.

Wash your face with soap, soap or other alkaline cleansers

Wrong result: Oily face becomes oilier the more you wash it, and the pores become larger.

Correction principle: The skin has sebaceous glands and sweat glands, which are a natural protective film. It is slightly acidic and has a strong antibacterial and skin-protecting effect. Alkaline cleansers will destroy it and stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil.

Experts suggest: Even if a man doesn’t care about skin care, he should at least use a facial cleanser when washing his face. You can choose a facial cleanser that suits you according to your skin type. If you want to use a cleanser with strong cleansing ability, you can use a foaming cleanser. Generally, there are instructions on the product.

The more you wash, the cleaner it will be. You should wash more often when the weather is hot.

Wrong result: The more you wash your skin, the drier it becomes, without moisture, and it feels tense all day long.

Experts recommend: Usually, you can wash once in the morning and once in the evening. Whether to wash at noon depends on different situations. When it is hot, you can increase the frequency appropriately, but no more than three times a day.

Long-term use of scrubs, charcoal and other exfoliating skin care products for cleansing

Mistakes: Daily use will cause dry, tight, and uncomfortable skin.

Correction principle: Scrub and charcoal-based cleansing products have the effect of exfoliating. If used every day, the stratum corneum of the skin will be worn away, and the skin will definitely not be able to bear it.

Experts recommend: Use a mild facial cleanser. If your skin is relatively "thick", you can use an exfoliating facial cleanser once every two weeks. When using it, you don't have to use it on every part of your skin. Usually, you can focus on areas with thicker cuticles such as the T zone.

Wash your face with a towel

Wrong result: If the towel is left wet for a long time, various microorganisms will easily breed and cause skin problems such as acne and pimples.

Correction principle: The fleece on a towel is tens to hundreds of times larger than the pores, so it is difficult to penetrate deep into the pores to remove all the dirt and grease inside. Washing and wiping your face with a wet towel is equivalent to applying all kinds of bacteria to your face. It is best to use a gentle cleansing sponge and dry it in the sun frequently for disinfection.

Experts suggest: Even if you don't use a cleansing sponge to wash your face because you are afraid of trouble, you should not use a towel to wash your face. The role of a towel in cleansing is to dry your face after washing it with facial cleanser.

Do not use any skin care products or sunscreen

The result of the mistake: Dry skin, sometimes even peeling, and during summer outings, the skin becomes sunburned, red, and itchy.

Correction principle: Although men do not need to apply various skin care products inside and outside, they must use the most basic skin care products and sunscreen products for skin health.

Expert advice: If men use skin care products, they should try to use men's special skin care products. Facial cleansers, face creams and sunscreens are essential.

The correct way to wash your face: 1. Wet your face with warm water, take an appropriate amount of facial cleanser, warm it in your palms and rub your hands together to create rich foam.

2. Apply the foam on your face and massage gently. Use circular motions, from bottom to top, from inside to outside, and gently massage your face. Do not rub back and forth too hard to avoid loosening the skin.

3. It is best to use the pads of your "beauty fingers" (middle and index fingers) to clean.

4. For hard-to-clean areas such as the sides of the nose, you can use the middle fingers of both hands to focus on cleaning.

5. Use running tap water to thoroughly rinse off the cleanser.
