At what age should I start using facial cleanser?

When can I start using facial cleanser? Generally, facial cleanser can be used when you are around 13-14 years old. Children's skin is delicate and thin in the stratum corneum, so facial cleanser is generally not needed, especially harsh facial cleansers. Skincare products are also not recommended. However, at the age of 14, when entering puberty, facial oil secretion increases, and it is advisable to start using facial cleanser. When using facial cleanser, attention should be paid to mastering the correct method to avoid affecting skin health.

How to use facial cleanser correctly? 1. Cleansing method: When using facial cleanser, first wet your face. After wetting your face, apply an appropriate amount of facial cleanser on your forehead, nose tip, and cheeks. Then gently rub it between your hands and massage your face in a circular motion from bottom to top and from inside to outside for 1 minute. Pay attention to cleaning areas such as the nose tip where dirt can easily accumulate. Then rinse with water and gently massage for half a minute before rinsing clean. Cleaning gesture: Use the middle and ring fingers of your hand to gently rub from bottom to top and from inside to outside (avoid rubbing vigorously), avoiding the eye area. Then rinse with water and pat dry with a beauty tissue. Avoid using a towel.

Remember, facial cleanser should be rubbed into a rich foam in your hands before applying to your face. The foam acts as a cleanser and reduces friction between your hands and skin.

2. Frequency of use: In autumn, when skin is dry, using facial cleanser should not exceed twice a day, preferably once in the morning and once at night. Over-cleansing can lead to water loss in facial skin, causing an imbalance in oil and water, which can lead to skin problems.

Not only should you pay attention to the frequency of use, but also ensure that the facial cleanser does not stay on your face for more than 2 minutes. Otherwise, the cleanser may be reabsorbed by the skin, defeating the purpose of cleansing and potentially causing harm to the skin.

3. Amount to use: The amount of facial cleanser to use depends on your skin condition. In general, a peanut-sized amount of facial cleanser is sufficient to meet the needs of your skin. However, if your skin secretes oil excessively, you may need to increase the amount of facial cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your face.

4. Changing facial cleanser according to seasons: In skin care, different seasons require different skincare products, and facial cleanser is no exception. In summer, when the skin tends to produce oil, a facial cleanser with strong cleaning power and moisturizing effect is needed. In winter, when the air is dry and skin oil production decreases, a facial cleanser with gentle and moisturizing properties should be used. Using the wrong facial cleanser can easily lead to skin problems!
