- Which Method Is Best?
1 Avoid using soaps as these can be very dry on the skin
2 Splash tepid water repeatedly over your face and then gently pat dry with a towel.
3 If you use make-up a simple way of removing it is to apply a little olive oil or almond oil on to cotton wool and wipe the make-up off.
4 Cleansing creams are the most effective way of loosening make-up and other dirt from your skin so that you can then wipe it off with cotton wool.
Using a Cleanser
1 To increase the efficiency of a cleanser apply a face cloth soaked with warm water to your skin and allow it to rest there for a couple of minutes before cleansing.
This will open your pores and soften your skin,this helping the cleanser to penetrate your skn and remove all the dirt more effectively.
2 Pour the cleanser on to cotton wool and apply it to your face and neck, paying attention to your hairline, where it is common for dirt to build up.
Remember to use a cleanser that is suited to your skin type.
3 After you have lifted off all the dirt you can then rinse it with tepid water.
4 Follow up this cleansing with a weekly facial steam or face pack for normal or dry skin; oily or problem skin every 2 days or by using a facial scrub.
