Wash Your Face Correctly

Washing your face correctly can lead to healthier, more radiant skin.

The American Academy of Dermatology suggests:

• Washing the face with an alcohol-free, non-abrasive cleanser.
• Using lukewarm water to dampen the face, then using fingertips to gently cleanse. Do not use sponges, washcloths or any product that could irritate skin.
• Avoiding scrubbing your skin while or after washing. Gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
• Applying moisturizer, using extra care around the eyes.
• Avoiding washing your face more than twice daily. But do wash after you've been sweating.
