When was the last time you washed your face? Not just a rinse in the shower but a full 2 minute lather with facial cleanser?
Days, weeks, and months blend together during this extended quarantine and sometimes our routines get lost.
Our lives look different now versus 6 months ago; work from home, school from home, PPE in public and at work.
Have you purchased a new bottle of cleanser since the pandemic started? If the answer is no, you’re not washing your face enough.
No matter where you spend your day and what you have on your face, your skin continues to shed cells and produce oil. Regular cleansing is the first step to keeping your skin balanced and healthy.
Wash your face:
- when you wake up in the morning
- after wearing PPE for an extended period of time
- before and after exercise
- before going to bed at night
Find a cleanser you love. It should leave your skin feeling clean but not dry or tight. If you like the feel of a cleansing brush or other tool, use it once a day in the evening.
Take the opportunity to massage your face for a few minutes while cleansing. Massage stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage to increase the health of your skin. Make it a ritual!
