How to keep your face clean and acne free

As you may not know, I have dry skin. So what I am going to be blogging about is just for dry skin users only with maybe a few comments on differences on oily skin and some products I have used in the past.

How to keep your face clean and acne free.

There is no such thing as never having acne unless you have laser surgery or something expensive to get your acne off. What we all need to realize is that cleaning our face and treating our acne is a habitual thing and we must maintain the cycle if we like it or not.

So for my dry skin users, here are the steps.

First you are going to have to get these products:

(1) 100% Cotton Facial Pads
(1) Facial Cleanser
(1) Acne Treatment
(1) Moisturizing Lotion

Step 1

Rinse your face with warm water, NOT HOT!! Us dry skin people are very sensitive and can act up. Hot water will dry our skin, causing redness. However, it will open up your pores but we want to avoid drying your skin off. We have to treat our faces with care and respect. Warm water is enough to open up the pores in our faces to we can start our next step.

Step 2

After you have rinsed your face, you will use a facial cleanser to clean your face. Your face will be ready to clean because your pores are already open and we went to get a deep clean in your face so we can remove all the dirt, make-up if you are wearing it, and other excessive oils, etc. It will also remove dead skin cells so new skin cells can mature on your face.

• STEP 1: Begin by washing your hands. (You don't want all of the grease, grime and germs from your hands on your face, do you?) And, if you have on any eye makeup, remove it before you begin to cleanse.
• STEP 2: Wet your face completely with tepid water. Anything too hot will shock the skin and could even burst capillaries, resulting in those sensitive red marks usually found around the nose and cheeks. Next, squeeze a dime-sized amount of cleanser onto your fingertips and rub them together. Use your fingertips to massage the cleanser into your skin (anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute) in small and gentle circular motions.
• STEP 3: One of the best ways to ensure that dirt and makeup are removed is by using a muslin cloth when you rinse. In addition, if you gently scrub in small circles, the cloth also acts as a light exfoliant! Also, don't forget to rinse your hairline, your neck and the nooks on either side of your nose.
• STEP 4: Finish by splashing your face two to three times with cool water (not freezing cold—again, you don't want to shock your face) to close your pores and then pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
