**Proper Moisturization:** Proper moisturization of the skin helps prevent a decrease in barrier function caused by dryness.
Starting today, I will be sharing with you 10 tips for properly moisturizing your skin over the course of 10 posts.
■1. **Proper Face Wash**: Harsh cleansers and hot water can strip your skin of oils. Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water to avoid stripping away excess oil.
Washing your face is important to keep your skin clean and healthy. Below are the steps for proper face washing:
- **Wash your hands:** First, wash your hands to keep them clean.
- **Makeup Removal:** If you are wearing makeup, gently wipe it off with a makeup remover.
- **Rinse your face with warm water:** Rinse your face with warm water to remove dirt and excess oil. Make sure the water is not too hot.
- **Using a facial cleanser:** Apply a small amount of cleanser to your face, lather it up and gently spread it over your face, being careful not to apply too much pressure to your skin.
- **Pay attention to the T-zone:** This is the area where oil is produced the most (forehead, nose, and chin), so be sure to wash it carefully.
- **Use your fingernails or finger pads:** Washing with the pads of your fingers, rather than your nails, will remove dirt without damaging your skin.
- **Rinse Thoroughly:** Rinse face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all traces of cleanser.
- **Gently dry your face with a towel:** When drying your face, use gentle pressure to remove excess water.
- **Apply lotion:** After washing your face, apply lotion immediately to moisturize your skin.
- **Twice a day, morning and night:** It is ideal to wash your face twice a day, in the morning and night. In the evening, you wash off makeup and dirt from the day, and in the morning, you cleanse your skin of oils and waste products from the night before.
Depending on your skin type, you may use a facial cleanser that is not suitable for you, so it is important to choose a facial cleanser that suits your skin condition. Also, it is very important not to wash too much for the balance of bacteria on your skin. Don't forget to moisturize moderately, and create an environment where the good bacteria on your skin will be happy!
