Read on to learn about the dos and don'ts of this essential step in your skincare routine.


DO choose the right cleanser for your skin type

The first step to achieving great skin is choosing the right cleanser for your skin type. If you have dry or sensitive skin, opt for a gentle, non-foaming cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. For oily or acne-prone skin, choose a foaming or gel cleanser that can help remove excess oil and unclog pores. Whatever your skin type, make sure to read the ingredients list and choose a cleanser that's free of harsh chemicals, such as sulphates and parabens.


DON'T over-cleanse your skin

While it's important to cleanse your skin daily, over-cleansing can do more harm than good. Cleansing too frequently or using a harsh cleanser can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even breakouts. Instead, aim to cleanse your skin once or twice a day, using a gentle cleanser that won't disrupt your skin's natural balance.


DO use warm water to rinse

When washing your face, use lukewarm water to rinse your skin. Hot water can be too harsh and strip your skin of its natural oils, while cold water may not be as effective at removing dirt and impurities. Lukewarm water is the perfect temperature to help open up your pores, allowing the cleanser to penetrate deeply and work its magic.


DON'T forget to double cleanse

If you wear makeup or sunscreen, it's essential to double cleanse your skin to remove all traces of product. The first cleanse will remove any makeup or dirt on the surface of your skin, while the second cleanse will penetrate more deeply and remove impurities from your pores. To double cleanse, simply apply your cleanser twice, making sure to rinse thoroughly between each step.


DO massage your cleanser in gently

When applying your cleanser, use gentle, circular motions to massage the product into your skin. This will help stimulate circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, while also ensuring that the cleanser penetrates deeply and effectively removes dirt and impurities. Avoid rubbing your skin too aggressively, which can cause irritation and damage.


DON'T use too much product

A little goes a long way when it comes to facial cleansers, so make sure to use only a small amount of product each time you cleanse your skin. Using too much product can lead to over-cleansing and dryness, as well as make your cleanser less effective at removing dirt and impurities. Start with a pea-sized amount of product and add more if needed.


DO rinse thoroughly

After massaging your cleanser into your skin, make sure to rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use your hands or a soft cloth to remove any remaining product, making sure to avoid harsh scrubbing or rubbing. Leaving cleanser residue on your skin can lead to clogged pores and breakouts, so make sure to rinse thoroughly.


DON'T forget to moisturize

After cleansing your skin, it's essential to moisturize to keep your skin hydrated and nourished. Choose a moisturizer that's suitable for your skin type, and apply it gently to your skin, using upward motions to help stimulate circulation. Moisturizing after cleansing will help lock in moisture and ensure that your skin stays healthy and radiant.


DO be consistent with your routine

Consistency is key when it comes to achieving great skin. Make sure to stick to a regular skincare routine, including cleansing, moisturizing, and any other steps that are suitable for your skin type. Don't be tempted to skip steps or rush through your routine, as this can lead to less-than-optimal results. Instead, take the time to care for your skin properly, and you'll see the benefits in no time.


DON'T use a facial cleanser on other parts of your body

While facial cleansers are designed to be gentle and effective on the delicate skin of your face, they may not be suitable for other parts of your body. Avoid using your facial cleanser on your chest, back, or other areas, as this can cause irritation and dryness. Instead, choose a body wash or other specialized product that's designed for the specific needs of each area.


DO seek professional advice if needed

If you're experiencing skin issues such as acne, rosacea, or other concerns, it's always a good idea to seek professional advice from a dermatologist or skincare expert. They can help you determine the best products and techniques for your unique skin type, and provide personalized advice on how to achieve your best skin ever.
