Face Cleansing (And How To Do It Right!)

While skin care can sometimes be as subjective as your favorite Netflix show, there really are the best methods to follow out there. And since cleansing is the first and arguably most important part of skin care, we’ve got a tried and true, triple-cleanse method to get your complexion to a whole new level of fresh and squeaky clean.

Getting rid of as much makeup and dirt as you can before even washing your face means you can spend less time lathering and scrubbing up. Plus, it’s a great way to instantly refresh skin. Makeup or cleansing wipes tend to work for any skin type and are totally travel-friendly. An equally refreshing and effective alternative? Good ol’ micellar water that also sweeps away dirt and makeup, and moisturizes skin at the same time.

While makeup wipes and micellar water are great for your cleaning pre-game, reaching for a cleansing balm or oil next is the key to achieving that clean skin goal. And yes, this is still before you actually wash your face! An oil, or solid balm that dissolves into oil, melts away and banishes any remaining dirt and makeup that your wipes and micellar water didn’t. They also work like magic on stubborn waterproof mascara and very matte lippies.

The last and most important step to clean, ready-for-bed skin is finally here. Lathering up with a facial wash doesn’t just rid your face of leftover grossness, but any residue or traces of the wipes and cleansing oils beforehand. While picking the right face wash for you still involves a bit of trial and error, try to stick to ones with a low pH to prevent skin dryness and irritation.
