Before any of you scoff at me for writing about something as inane as washing your face, hear me out first. Every guy washes his face, sure, but not everyone has a great complexion to show off. Why? Because washing your face comes down to more than just cleaning your face with soap and water. There’s a technique involved, tools that are required and other key pointers that every person should know about. Let’s upgrade your skincare game a little, shall we?
1) Soap is killing your face one wash at a time

Soap’s harsh formula is designed to clean your body, it isn't meant for the sensitive skin of your face. That’s exactly the reason why your face perennially feels dry or oily. To avoid excess dryness, oiliness and irritation, switch to facial cleansers (face wash).
2) Speaking of cleansers, know your skin type first

Not all face wash or cleansers are created equal, you deserve a formula that’s best suited for your skin type. Oily skin needs a cleanser that will help in controlling the oil production whereas dry skin will require a cleanser that will be more hydrating in nature.

3) If you wash you face but not your hands, you’re basically back to where you started

Before you take that cleanser to your mug, give your hands a good and thorough cleanup. Otherwise, the dirt and grime that you carry on your hands will be transferred to your face, clogging the pores and causing it to break out further.

4) One bitten, twice good!

There are some parts of your body—like your teeth, hands and face that require more than a daily rinse. Always wash your face twice a day—once in the morning and another time before hitting the bed. Unless you have sensitive skin that leads to irritation, then you can go back to washing your face once.
5) Don’t be lazy and skimp on time

Cleansing is more than about cleaning the surface dirt. Cleansers are meant to unclog pores and give you a deep cleaning, and that doesn’t happen in an instant. Your cleanser needs time to do its job thoroughly. Work out your face wash on your skin with a gentle massage for at least a minute. That will do the trick.
