I recently stumbled across an article that implied that you should never wash your face with your hands. The reason stated? Your fingers carry bacteria, and even after washing them, they’re probably not clean enough. Hmm..If that were true, many of us would have to change the way we cleanse our skin.
Well, I think that is definitely not true. Yes, there is bacteria all over your skin, and it’s not always bad bacteria. There’s really no need not to use your hands.
The important thing to remember is to use a cleanser such as Clinage's. The goal in cleansing your skin is to get all of the dirt and debris off of your face at the end of the day.
I suggest you wash your face with warm water as opposed to cold water since warm water helps to soften the skin, allowing for exfoliation. After cleansing, pat your skin dry to remove any excess water.
Over washing your skin can be a problem. We should all aim to wash our faces twice a day. More than twice can result in stripping away the natural oils. Those with acne sometimes think they are suffering because they’re not cleansing their skin enough. But acne and breakouts are primarily caused from stress, hormones and genetics.
So wash up and feel free to use your hands!
