Your face is at the forefront of all your daily battles against the weather and pollution. With all the dirt and grime accumulating every hour, you'll need to invest in quality skin care products for men, such as an everyday face wash. You can't let your face look dull and age rapidly. However, you must avoid some things like the plague when picking and applying the right face wash. Lucky for you, the Wild Stone CODE grooming team is here with some Dos and Don'ts on using that face wash like a boss. So sit back, relax, and let us guide you through the dos and don'ts:
Dos:
Please wash your hands before you touch your face: Let's start with the basics. University of Boulder, Colorado, found that our hands can carry 3,200 bacteria from 150 species. Don't let those nasties ruin your perfect skin. Handwash gently before applying a facewash.
Choose a face wash designed for men: Our skin differs from women's and requires a different regimen. Studies show higher hydration levels, sebum, microcirculation, pigmentation, and thickness in men. That's why you need a facewash tailored to those unique characteristics. Look for a face wash that is formulated specifically for men's skin.
Cleanse twice a day: If you want to keep your face looking good, wash it twice daily - morning and evening. It's that simple. Your skin meets every kind of enemy, pollution, sweat, dirt - you name it, outdoors and indoors at your home. Once is not enough!
Use lukewarm water: The right temperature matters. If it's too hot - it can strip your skin of its natural oils and leave it is feeling dry, and if it's too cold, it fails to remove dirt and oil that settled on your skin. Lukewarm water has the right temperature to cleanse your skin without causing any damage.
Face wash the right way:
Use a small amount, lather it up, massage gently, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, and pat your face dry with a clean towel. Don't go overboard.
Don'ts:
No soap: Using bar soap on your face is a big no-no. The delicate skin on your face requires gentle treatment, and soaps are chemically loaded. It can suck away the natural oils that keep your skin healthy, leaving it dry and damaged.
Avoid facewash with parabens:
Facewash with parabens (preservatives) can disrupt your hormones and affect your nervous system. You might want to check our paraben-free face cleanser, loved by millions of Indian men: Face Cleanser For Men.
Overwashing is terrible: Washing your face too much can empty the natural oils that keep your skin healthy, leaving it feeling lifeless. And that's not a good look for anyone. Stick to a twice-daily routine and avoid overwashing.
No alcohol in your face wash, please! :
Some face washes contain alcohol, which can be quite the enemy. It can cause rashes if you have sensitive skin.
So, gentlemen, remember these tips: use a face wash designed for men, wash twice a day with lukewarm water, be gentle when massaging, and avoid soap, hot water, overwashing, alcohol or face wash with parabens!
