How To PROPERLY Wash Your Face (5 Mistakes Men Make)
[0:00:00] [Music]
Are you making these critical mistakes when it comes to one of the most important parts
of your personal grooming routines? Gents, in today’s video, I’m talking about
the massive mistakes that most guys make when washing their face.
The first deadly mistake most men make when washing their face, they don’t wash their
hands first. Your hands typically have more than 1,500 bacteria per square centimeter.
Think about it, if you don’t clean your hands first, you’re about to wipe all those
bacteria right onto your face. In fact, it’s been stated by researchers
that neglecting to wash your hands before washing your face negates the cleaning altogether.
So, take thirty seconds to thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap before
you wash your face. The second face washing mistake is using the
same soap for your face and body. The fact is the skin on your face is not as thick or
rough as the skin on your hands and body. Regular hand soap or body wash will strip
away too much valuable moisture from your face. What you want to use is a face wash
specifically formulated for the face’s more delicate skin.
The third face washing mistake is wetting your face with water that’s too hot or too
cold. Water that’s too hot strips away moisture and dries out your skin. Water that’s too
cold closes the pores which can trap dirt and oil. Instead, stick with lukewarm room
temperature water, it will open up your pores for cleaning and won’t cause irritation.
The next big mistake men make when washing their face, rubbing your face too hard with
a towel when washing or drying off your face can lead to irritation. Instead, when washing
your face, you want to use your hands instead of a towel or loofah. And, when drying your
face, you want to gently pat your face with a clean cotton towel. Don’t rub or pull
at the skin with a towel. The next mistake guys make when washing their
face, they wash it too often or not enough. On average, you should wash your face twice
a day. Once when you wake up to clean away any oil or sweat that built up while you were
sleeping and once in the evening before going to bed to clean away any sweat or dirt that
may have built up throughout the day. Washing more often than this can dry out and irritate
your skin. The next big mistake guys make when it comes
to washing their face, not having a full skincare routine. Most guys just wash their face once
or twice a day and call it good. The reality is for great looking skin, you want to have
a solid skincare routine. In addition to washing your face twice a day,
you want to be exfoliating your face twice a week. You want to be looking to use a moisturizer.
In addition, if you’ve got wrinkles maybe you want to look at an anti-aging cream or
if you’ve got those bags under the eyes, you want to be using an eye cream.
Now, I’ve shared with you not what to do, but how do you actually clean your face the
right way from start to finish? Well, gentlemen, I’ve got a five-step process I’m going

Step number one, wash. After making sure your hands are clean, wet your face with warm water
to open the pores. Apply a small amount of your favorite face wash into your palm and
rub it between your hands to make a lather. Gently rub the soap onto your face. You don’t
have to be overly aggressive when applying it. After about 20 seconds, rinse your face
off with warm water. Now, if you’re not going to be exfoliating today, go ahead and
take a towel and pat your skin dry. Step two, exfoliation. Exfoliating your face
is the best way to remove old dead skin cells and reveal the young healthy skin underneath.
You need to exfoliate your skin about twice a week for optimum results. Exfoliating more
often can be a bit rough on the skin and lead to irritation.
[0:05:04] Now, to get started, you want to apply a small
amount of an exfoliating scrub onto your palm. Rub your hands together to spread it out evenly.
Now, you want to gently massage the exfoliating scrub onto your face working in small circles
for about 20 seconds. Again, be gentle here. You don’t want to
push too hard, you don’t want to be overly aggressive, it can lead to skin irritation.
Once you’re done, rinse your face off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean
soft towel. Step three, eye cream. If you suffer from
dark circles around the eyes, puffy eyes or crow’s feet, you’re going to want to start
to use an eye cream to counteract them. So, to get started, dab a bit of eye cream
onto your fingertips. Remember, a little bit goes a long way here. Gently work the cream
into the skin below your eyebrows in the skin below your eyes. FYI, you don’t need to
apply eye cream onto your eyelids and be very careful not to get any in your eyes. Once
you’re done, give the eye cream one minute to absorb into the skin.
Step four, anti-aging serum. Now, if you’re over the age of 30 or you’re starting to
see wrinkles on your face, it may be time to add an anti-aging serum to your routine.
Now, anti-aging serums, these types of products they work to improve circulation and water
retention in your face both of which get worse as you age. A cream like this when consistently
used is a powerful tool to keep your skin looking young and vibrant.
To get started, apply the serum to the tips of your fingers and then apply it evenly onto
to your cheeks and onto your forehead. You want to gently rub the anti-aging serum into
your skin for about a minute or until it’s dry.
Step five, moisturize. Washing your face strips away the oils and moisture from your skin.
It’s important to add moisture back. After every time you wash your face, you want to
apply a moisturizer. After your morning wash, I recommend using a moisturizer that contains
a sunblock of at least 15 SPF. This will protect your face throughout the day from the harmful
UV rays of the sun which can prematurely age your skin.
Now, after your evening wash, you’re going to want to moisturize again. Now, at this
point you can skip moisturizer with the sunblock, instead look for something that’s actually
made for night time application. These are oftentimes going to be thicker and they’re
going to do a great job just sitting on the skin throughout the night helping to moisturize
it. Remember, gents, just like a good diet and
exercise program, consistency is key when it comes to your face cleaning routine.
