More Bubbles Mean Clean? Effective Face Washing In Autumn And Winter To Avoid Dryness And Roughness

It's like washing your face every day but you never seem to get it clean... Dull, oily skin and dead skin build-up. Are you really cleansing your face correctly? Maybe you're cleansing in the wrong way and don't realise it. This time, we'll teach you how to wash your face and help you develop a good skin tone!

The BUBBLE myth

We’ve all believed te bubble myth at one point in our lives: the more foam we have, the cleaner our face will be. In fact, the cleansing power depends on the "surfactant", the essential ingredient contained in the face wash. The surfactant molecule has two ends: the oleophilic end, which binds to oil and dirt on the skin, and the hydrophilic end, which binds to water and cleanses the skin after rinsing.

There is no 100% correlation between the molecules of the surfactant and the foaming and grease removal power. So it doesn't mean that more foaming is better for cleaning. Some products in gel form, cream form or with less foam can also lift off grease and grime as long as they contain a surfactant. However, many girls think that the product is weak in foam, so they use it more and more, resulting in over-cleaning and dehydrated skin. The skin mistakenly believes that it is lacking in oil and produces more oil, resulting in an unstable skin condition.

Tight skin after washing = good cleaning? 

What does it mean to wash your face clean? Does it mean that the skin feels tense after washing the face to be clean? You're actually just washing the oil off your skin! Over-cleansing can damage the skin's stratum corneum, making it less protective, dry, rough and susceptible to external irritation, leading to dryness and cracking and bacterial invasion.

If you have dry skin or are already oily, you don't have to use cleansers every day, just wash your skin off with warm water.

Washing your face for a long time = good cleaning?

My face is dirty today, why don't you spend more time washing it? In fact, the time to wash your face must be quick and precise! Prolonged cleansing can add to the irritation and burden on the skin. The bubbles will slowly dissipate and the frictional resistance will increase! It is advisable to limit the time spent on washing your face to no more than one minute, otherwise, you may end up making a mistake.

Should I dry my skin with a towel after cleaning my face?

Some people don't want their face to get wet after washing, so they use a towel to dry their skin. However, when the skin is exposed to towels on a daily basis, it can cause some degree of irritation. Many people only wash and dry their towels once every few days. When towels are left to dry in the bathroom, they are prone to bacterial growth and skin problems. It is recommended to use a disposable towel or to apply moisturiser directly to the face and let it absorb into the skin.

Good knowledge needs to be accompanied by a good face wash
