umm i have lil tiny pimples so i'm guessing its because i'm probably not washing my face properly. so how do i wash it PROPERLY with SOAP?
thanks!How do you wash your face properly? with soap?
Start out with very warm water, but not so hot it burns you. Rinse your face several times with the warm water so your pores open. Still using warm water, wash your face thoroughly with the soap, scrubbing lightly to loosen up the oil to be washed away with the soap. Wash away all the soap, rinsing several times. Finally, splash some cool water on your face to shrink up your pores again.
The question was specifically how to wash the face with soap. There's alternatives, just answering the question as it was asked.How do you wash your face properly? with soap?
So, washing your face with a soap can actually be bad for the skin because the soap can be very harsh on the face leaving it dry. Therefore, your face, to compensate, will try to replenish the moisture by giving off more oil, therefore making your skin more oily. This can lead it to just be oily, but also break out.
Breaking out can also be related to the kind of food your eating (lots of fatty, greasy, unhealthy food can cause you to break out).
Drink lots of water, and eat lots of fruits and veggies.
But, if you still want to clean your face, I would suggest using a mild cleanser, then a toner, and a moisturizer--everyday.
hope that wasn't too confusing
I wouldn't use soap if I were you. It can be really harsh on your skin and cause more pimples.
Try a face wash specifically designed for pimples.
When washing, start by splashing your face with warm water (that opens your pores) then wash with the face wash, and rinse it all off properly with warm water before splashing your face with cold water (which then closes your pores back up).
However pimples are not always caused by how you wash. Depending on how bad they are, your docto can prescribe different creams and tablets which will clear up the pimples almost straight away.
Well, I do these steps and all of my pimples are gone. I don't know if it works for everybody.
1) get a damp washcloth and put some liquid soap on it
2) Rub your face with it. After ur done, wash the soap off in the sink
3) Use the wet wash cloth to wash off the soap on ur face
4) Dry your face with a towel
5) I put some Clean and clear on
Hope this helps
Depends on what's going on with your skin. If your acne is mild, I would just use a mild cleanser that isn't too harsh. If your acne is on the moderate to severe side, I would use a medicated cleanser. It this dries out your skin too much, try to moisturize after washing. Bottom line is, soap is too harsh for most people's faces. I wouldn't use it.
First use a gentle, non scented soap. Irish spring and Lever 2000 are out of the question. Dove too. I don't care what their commercials say, and soap that intentionally leaves a residue behind is not good for you face.
Use very warm water to splash your face. The warm water opens your pores.
Then, take a clean washcloth (I used a buff puff when I was a teen I don't know if they are still on the market) wet it with the warm water.
Apply the soap to the wash cloth or cleaning implement. Clean you skin in a gentle circular motion. Be sure to clean your jaw line and neck as well.
Switch to cold water to rinse. Cold water causes your pores to contract making it harder for impuritie to enter while you sleep.
Dab you face dry never ever rub.
Always sleep with a clean pillowcase.
Never touch you face with your hands or a telephone.
Special note. gentle soaps are best for facial skin because our facial skin has a delicate Ph balance. Acne is a result of the ph being thrown off in one direction. The use of abrasive soaps and cleansers will cause it to clear for a while but your skin becomes dependent as a result of throwing the Ph off in another direction. So, unless you have the money Jessica Simpson does to keep up that the regimine for life, us regular folk have to rely on everyday items and the restoration of our God Given Ph.
A gentle soap such as Camay (inexpensive too) cleanses your face allowing your skin to balance itself out.
I wash my face in the shower. Make sure your getting your face soaked with water. Make sure your hands are clean as well. Get all the soap on your hands however you do it. Rub your face vigorously for like a whole minute. And rinse it off till it's squeaky clean.
dont ever use soap to wash your face, it will make your face dry and cause irretation. You can use some DOVE cleanser , you have to wash your face with luke warm water then splash cold water and pat it dry. It really helps.
to be honest i have been living with the theory that the more you wash the less effective it becomes....i wash with a bar of soap every other day.....my face is great so it obviously wrks or i just got good genes
While I was studying, one of my teachers told us not to use soap to wash our face... she told us ';the best way to avoid wrinkles is not to use soap, just water';
and that is why I never use soap.
avoid soap -see your dermatologist for skin care tips %26amp; acne treatment.
Tiny pimples are oil and sweat. Your skin produce oil mix with sweat.
I have them on my nose
use a light soap.... also apply a facial lotion. and make sure you are rinsing VERY well!
Get face wash, NOT SOAP.

I to know what is better like, clear and clean, clearisal, acne-free, ect... thnxBest acne face wash?
clean and clear is good, i like it a lot.
but be careful, some acne face washes can destroy your skin if you stop using them (like pro active)
get something gentle, but effective.Best acne face wash?
This stuff is AMAZING and any doctor would recomend it im sure. It's not expensive at all and you can get it at wal-mart. It's called... Purpose - Gentle Cleansing wash by Johnson%26amp;Johnson
btw.. i used to use proactive and then i used acne-free and they worked pretty well, but this stuff is better.
http://www.purposeskincare.com/productGuideWash.jsp
For me, ive been battling frequent acne for around 2 yrs and nothing works better than neutrogena oil eliminating cleanser, after you cleanse, put tretinoin acne cream.
i use deep clean by neutrogina [the blue foaming liquid kind] it works well and you can actually feel your face getting cleaner.
definitly the new ganier nutrisse stuff thats out. try the microbead scrub with the daily moisturizer. it works miracles!
CLEAN AND CLEAR THE KIT THAT COMES IN A BOX!

You need to change what you are using on your face. Have you looked at the Proactiv system, or the Murad Acne system? Yes they are a bit pricy, but both have a great reputation of clearing stubborn acne. I use the Murad Acne Spot Treatment for my cystic pimples, which is a 3% sulfur gel to be applied directly to the acne. It works better than both the preparations (benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid) out on the drugstore shelves, in my opinion. Your product contains salicylic acid, which can be very drying - are you using an oil-free moisturizer with your skin regimen? This is also important, as is choosing one with an SPF - acne products make your skin more sensitive to the sun.My face is breaking out very badly, so much it is hurting!

It sounds like your face wash has stopped working. try using African Black soap. This soap can be found in any hair store as well as Wal-mart, or you can try proactive solutions.
Sounds like you are drying it out, perhaps it is not the product you are using but something in your diet that has changed your skin. Either way i think it is time to switch products. I am a huge supported of Pro-Activ it has done wonders for my skin, i was bit skeptical at first because of the price but i am so glad i switched and i wont be changing any time soon!
I think your skin is drying out. Use an oil free lotion to sooth your skin.
it sounds like it is drying your face out, you should try using it every other day and use a good moisturizer like aveeno positivly radiant.

Men,is that true with face wash?
hi
for men.
what happens if you wash your face 4-5 times a day..
does it give you a fair and bright skin in the face...
or does it make your face oily....i heard washing the face too much,brings out the natural oil..is that true..Men,is that true with face wash?
2-3 times is just fineMen,is that true with face wash?
Why would you wash your face 4 to 5 times a day? It will dry the **** out of your skin, and so your skin will try to compensate by producing extra oils. Stick to washing your face in the morning when you wake up, then right before you sleep. This goes for men and women
omg! over-washing strips the natural oils from your face and ur skin freaks out and produces more oil!
WASH UR FACE 2 TIMES A DAY AT THE MOST :D
if youre worried about oil wash youre face two or three times a day
and use some face lotionmobile

Morning burst facial cleanser, should i wash my face too?

You shouldn't double up on the cleanser for your face. If you strip too much of your natural oils, your face will revolt and produce even more oil and you will be in a worse situation. Choose the most gentle efective cleanser and a moisturizer that fights acne, you always need to moisturize as well, it nourishes the skin. Try the garnier ';pure'; products they work well for me.Morning burst facial cleanser, should i wash my face too?
the cleanser should be suffecient you might have adverse effects like redness or irriatation if you use both

What face wash is better?
the neutrogena wave
or the clean %26amp; clear face wash?What face wash is better?
neutrogena waveWhat face wash is better?
both aren't too good, there is one from target or at rite aid.. that I know of that works pretty well it has 3 things. it is called AcneFree, it looks like this... http://www.vitaminhall.com/catalog/images/ACNEFREE.jpg
Personally, I think It works pretty well :]]
The neutrogena wave is a waste of money. It's not as powerful as the commercials would have you believe, and for me, using a gentle cleanser and wash cloth has proven MUCH more effective.
neutrogena is a great product! I know everyone has different skin but it has really helped me alot. It leaves you skin clean and free from makeup!
the wave doesn't really like clean your face, it does but it doesn't prevent zits from happening.
so i would say clean and clear
That would depend on your skin type. Talk to a dermatologist if you are looking for the best skin care for you.
which clean %26amp; clear face wash?
but i've heard TONS of bad reviews about the wave, so prob. c%26amp;c.

Inexpensive face wash suggestions.?
Any suggestions for a good inexpensive face wash. I have really dry skin with keratosis pilaris and very mild acne (its more of every once in a while i get a couple zits, but not horrible). Any suggestions that will help my dry skin and mild acne?
And im 14 and a girl. just incase u needed thatInexpensive face wash suggestions.?
when i was a teenager I used Purpose. If that's too drying, you can try Eucerin. Clinique face wash is really good too but it's not as cheap.Inexpensive face wash suggestions.?

The Nutragena and other brands that they sell at Wallgreens are always good in a pinch too!
Good Luck!
i use paulas choice, i dont have much either. but i also go tanning which dries any acne that wants to even think about beginning. i also rub a small amount of toothpaste on any zits that pop up at school or something..do it at night and it will be dry in the morning..very little though..preferably cinnamon crest. comes in red tube
cetaphil is recommended by almost every dermatologist
lachydrin is a lotion that is often recommended to combat keratosis pilaris as well as a tretinoin prescription
Cetaphil has a skin cleanser that can be used without water... its non drying and I use it all the time. you can find it at any drugstore for under 10 dollars.
