The most important thing to a skincare routine is knowing how to do it so you don’t damage your skin. There are specific steps that you need to follow to have the perfect skincare routine.
When to wash your face
You should always wash your face morning and night. Washing your face at night is important because you get so much bacteria on your face throughout the day, so washing your face at night gets all the bacteria off of your skin so you don’t break out with acne.
Washing your face in the morning is good just because you slept at night. Who knows what’s on your bed.
The steps
First, you have to get a clean washcloth for your face, and then get half of it wet. Make sure that it is clean because if it’s not you could just be wiping dirt on your face without even seeing it.
Second, get your face wet with that half-wet washcloth. And apply face wash. You need the size of a quarter amount of face wash. Rub that face wash gently onto your face and let it sit for 10-30 seconds. Rinse the face wash off with the same wet washcloth.
Third, apply facial toner to your face. Take a cotton ball and apply the toner to that. Then you can apply it to your face.
Next, spray rose water mist into your face. Personally, this is my favorite part of the routine.
Last, put some soothing moisturizer onto your hands. After that, spread it on your face.
Products
There are so many amazing products for the perfect face routine. My favorites are Mario Badescu. Prose is great because you can customize a face wash. Clean and clear, and Clarify.
Products are so, so important to a skincare routine. If you have the wrong products your face could break out worse.
Acne problems
Acne is the worst! Although I haven’t dealt with acne problems, occasionally I’ll get a pimple.
Popping pimples can be satisfying and we have all done it, but it’s not always the best thing to do. If your pimple isn’t ready to be popped and you pop it, it can get infected or just sting constantly. That’s no fun.
There are things to prevent acne and help with it too. Let’s start with how to prevent it.
Toner is the best thing to prevent acne. If the toner contains alcohol it is going to sting your face but if it does sting that means it’s working. Be very careful to not get it in your eyes.
Drinking tons of water each day helps a lot to prevent acne too. According to healthline.com drinking water hydrates your skin. Hydrated skin prevents acne because when you get a pimple it could mean your skin is dry.
The last thing is eating the right foods. It’s ok to eat junk food every once in a while, but eating junk every day might be the reason for your acne. Something that helps with starting to eat better is making a food goal journal. You can write down all of the foods that you want to eat and try to achieve the goals the best you can.
How do you deal with your acne? Pimple patches are my first option for trying to get rid of pimples. You can find them at stores like Target, Walmart, etc. they sell them at pretty much every grocery store. You can buy face masks that are meant for acne. It’s going to sting at the moment but once you remove the mask your face should feel much better.
Rap it up
