How to properly wash your face after a workout


Your facial skin is more delicate and thinner than your body skin. Your cleansing methods are more specialized on your face.

"Never shock your face". Don't use very cold or very hot water. Both methods can cause broken capillaries and red marks around nose and cheeks. Always use luke warm water when wetting or rinsing your face.

Don't use a wash cloth on your face when cleansing. This can irritate skin. Make sure your hands are clean, free from dirt and germs especially after working out with gym equipment and sports equipment. Apply cleanser in your hands, rub hands together in a circular motion.

Starting with your cheek area use gentle circular motion. Use up and down strokes for the sides of your nose. For the chin, top of the mouth and forehead,; use straight back and forth motion.

The best and most effective wash is one that includes some kind of massage. When you stimulate your lymph system it brings blood and oxygen circulating to the skin.

Always use gentle movement. Don't use quick strokes or heavy pressure on your face.
