Cleanse regularly to look great

Whatever your skin type — oily, dry, balanced or combination — proper cleaning is the key to maintaining a good complexion. This is especially true when it comes to your face.
How often should a person wash his/her face?

Once in the morning, once in the evening and after exercising, usually does the trick. If the facial skin suffers from dryness, once a day should be enough. However, more frequent cleanings may be required if your skin is oily or prone to acne. Washing your face is a relatively simple task.
Here are a few tips that can help keep clean and fresh.

Remove eye makeup with a soft sponge, cotton cloth or cotton balls and moisturising cream. This helps prevent damage to delicate tissue around the eyes. Stick to lukewarm water when washing. Avoid hot water, which dries out the skin. Skip a strong soap that doesn’t contain moisturiser. It can strip oil from the skin and leave it dry. A mild cleanser is a much better bet. Avoid washing products containing perfumes or dyes, which can irritate the skin and quite possibly result with an allergic response.
Forget using a washcloth, which can be abrasive on the skin. Use your hands to wash your face, gently using your fingers. Rinse thoroughly. Pat the face dry with a soft cotton towel.
