How To Effectively Wash Face And Minimize Pores

Does oiliness and big pores bother you? Most probably yes just like most of us. When it comes to the face, it is most commonly noticed first before any other part of your body. Everyone of us deserve to be as good looking as possible. Of course, it is among our priorities most importantly if you are in business like when you talk to executives, clients and prospective customers.

But to look really good, you don't have to spend a big sum of money. A clean and oil-free face can be just okay for the gentlemen while women need a make-up and maybe a visit to the skin clinic. There are 4 basic steps to effectively clean your face. These are necessary steps for women before wearing any make-up.

1. Wet you face with warm or moderately hot water. It should be just enough to be tolerated by your skin. Try to test first the water temperature using the back of your hand. The temperature sensitivity of your hand is closely the same with your face. The warm water increases skin temperature to dilate or open pores so that face wash can enter and clean them thoroughly. 
2. Use face wash. Lather and massage face thoroughly. Avoid using a body soap because they mostly contain strong ingredients that may destroy skin's natural moisture and irritate skin as well.
3. Use warm water again to rinse your face.
4. Lastly, wet your face with cold water to close pores. The cold temperature constrict skin to minimize pore size and prevent germs from entering inside. 

If you need to squeeze your blackheads and whiteheads, make sure your hands are clean. Remember to use the "warm and cold water technique", to open and close pores for better cleansing. Washing your face 2 to 3 times a day should be enough to prevent oiliness and minimize pore size. Of course, you still need to choose the right face wash for you for better results.
