Washing your face correctly is the most important step in any skincare routine. If cleansing is not done properly, dirt, oil, sweat, and pollution stay on your skin and cause pimples, dullness, and clogged pores.
Here is the correct way to wash your face at home:
Step 1: Wash Your Hands First
Before touching your face, always wash your hands. Dirty hands can transfer bacteria and cause breakouts.
Step 2: Use Lukewarm Water
Do not use very hot or very cold water.
Lukewarm water helps open pores gently and removes dirt better without damaging your skin.
Step 3: Choose the Right Cleanser
Use a face wash according to your skin type:
- Oily skin – Gel-based face wash
- Dry skin – Cream-based or hydrating cleanser
- Sensitive skin – Mild, fragrance-free cleanser
If you prefer natural options:
- Raw milk works as a gentle cleanser
- Besan (gram flour) removes excess oil
- Rose water refreshes and tones skin
Step 4: Massage Gently
Take a small amount of cleanser and massage in circular motion for 30–40 seconds.
Focus on:
- Nose area (blackheads area)
- Chin
- Forehead
Do not rub harshly. Gentle massage improves blood circulation and gives natural glow.
Step 5: Rinse Properly
Wash thoroughly so no cleanser remains on skin. Leftover product can clog pores.
Step 6: Pat Dry (Do Not Rub)
Use a soft, clean towel.
Pat your face gently. Rubbing can cause irritation and wrinkles over time.
How Many Times to Wash Face?
2 times daily (Morning & Night)
After heavy sweating
Do not wash too many times – it can dry your skin.
Clean washing keeps your skin fresh, healthy, and glowing naturally.
