Growing pollution, dirt and dust in the air play havoc with the sensitive skin of the face. Despite using sun screen and washing face using mild cleansers, the glow of the face is lost as it has to face the onslaught of pollutants in the air every day. In order to clean face without using soap, certain natural ways needs to be used. Skin cleaning must be made a part of daily routine so as to maintain its glow and health.
Following are some natural ways that can be used to gain a clear and bright skin
Steaming
Face steaming can be used once in a while to open clogged pores and bring out dirt and dust settled deep in the pores of the skin. It is very easy to carry out this task. One simply needs to boil water in a kettle. This boiling water needs to be poured in a bowl and putting a towel on the head, one can bend down on the bowl allowing steam of the boiling water to hit your face. This can be carried out for five to ten minutes depending on your ability to withstand hot wafts on your face.
Washing
Next is to wash the face using lukewarm water. Remember the water should not be either too hot or too cold. It should feel comfortable on the face. Once the face has been washed, a gentle cleanser can be used. These days, there are many cleansers available in the market and one can buy a cleanser that suits best as per his or her skin type. If your skin is acne prone, you need to buy a cleanser that is perfectly suitable for such skin. This cleanser can be lightly medicated or oil free cleanser. It is important to take care that this cleanser should not be harsh on the skin lest it results in rashes on the face.
Proper rinsing
After using a suitable cleanser, it is important to rinse the face with light hands, splashing water on the face. This will not only bring about shine on the face but also make a person alert immediately. The cleanser must be totally removed from the skin. Cool water must be used for the final rinse so that open pores are closed again. If the pores stay open, it will allow dust and dirt to penetrated deep inside the skin making it look dull and dreary.
Drying the face
Remember, towel should not be used on the face for drying, instead it should be patted with light hand movements. A soft cloth can also be used for patting dry face. Towel spreads bacteria on the face resulting in severe acne breakouts hence one needs to be very careful and use only soft and fresh cloth for face drying.
Proper moisturizing
Once the face has been dried, a suitable moisturizer must be applied on the face using fingers lightly in circular motions. Even if one suffers from oily skin, it is important to use moisturizer as it helps in retaining necessary moisture in the skin.
This regimen will surely help in cleaning face perfectly.
