Many of us only spend about 15 seconds on washing our face. That may not be long enough to do the job! Since we are making the effort to bring out our face wash, why not spend a few extra seconds? The key to good cleansing is to take it slow. I would recommend that you cleanse for at least one minute, but it does not mean that you have to vigorously rub for at least a minute.
When the dirt and dust particles get accumulated on the face, they block the skin pores and thus make the skin look dull and dry. This also causes several skin problems like blemishes, acne, blackheads, etc. But more than that it increases the aging process of the skin and makes the aging signs like wrinkles and fine line appear on face. Thus you can expect to have a sick skin if you will not do the cleansing of face. There are many facial cleaners out there in the market & we hope to help in this article to explain the benefits of each. Whatever product you do decide to use remember to clean your face about three times in a day.
So what should you use to clean your Face?
Ordinary soap is often dismissed as useless and harmful by many people. This is absolutely untrue. The purpose of any cleansing operation (a term favored by some skin care people for a process most of us know as washing) is to remove dirt and grease. Ordinary soaps do this effectively (and sometimes even too thoroughly!). Soaps contain fats which work effectively as cleansers of grease and grime. Soaps will also remove some cosmetics and the water proof eye make-up products are not easily removed with soaps – for these, a cosmetic cleanser is usually required.
One unfortunate effect of soaps is that they remove some natural oils from the skin, making it dry. A related action is that, being alkaline; soaps neutralize the natural acidic film on the skin. Though these effects are temporary, they can cause problem in people with dry skin, during cold weather and in conditions of low humidity.
The dryness, however, is easily countered by using a moisturizing cream after washing with soap.
There are various skin cleansers available in the market depending upon the skin type. Hence you can purchase the cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. If you have dry skin, then cleansing milk is the best cleanser for you, as it will provide moisturizer to your skin and will not make it dry. It is better to buy oil-based cleanser for dry skin. But oil based cleansers will not be good if your skin type is oily.

Please be aware though make sure that you buy a good quality cleanser as this makes all the difference to your facial care regime.
Facial cleansers or face washes could belong to the following categories.
Foaming cleansers: These generally lather as the name suggests.
Gel cleansers: These are usually oil-free and may not foam or lather.
Water-soluble cleansers: These are good, all-purpose cleansers and are generally non-irritating.
Lotion cleansers: These are recommended for dry or sensitive skin because they leave a light soothing film on the skin.
Cleansing milks: These are modified moisturizer formulations. It does not have the surfactants-the active cleaning ingredients of soaps and face washes-that normal cleansers have which are effective for removing dust and grime.
Toner and astringents: Toners are solutions or lotions designed to remove surface skin cells, soap residue and oils from skin. They are often heavy on water and alcohol and some-times contain other ingredients like witch hazel, salicylic acid or propylene glycol.
How do you wash your face?
This may be an obvious question but often we don’t think about this to thoroughly. There are however great tips from beauticians that can help & these are as follows:-
Start with clean skin - a good facial cleanser cream is the first step, remove with warm water only please, then follow with a splash of cool water to close your pores, whether you need oily skin treatment or need dry skin care you should always use a facial cleanser cream that is suited to your skin.
Water is the mother of moisturizers and once you have cleansed your face, don't rub it dry, just pat gently and let the moisture remain, as you benefit from the skin being moist as you apply your additional skin care.
Always use short, firm strokes and please always stroke upward - do not stretch the skin. Applying creams around the eyes is best done with the little finger and pat, pat, pat.
So let us sum it all up.
