How to Use Face Wash the Right Way Guide for Glowing Skin

Using a facewash sounds simple… right?

Splash water → Apply soap → Rinse → Done.

Well, not exactly.
Most people wash their face incorrectly without even realizing it, either by rubbing too hard, using the wrong product, or washing too many times. This can lead to breakouts, dryness, and dull-looking skin.

The good news?
With the right technique and the right product, washing your face is one of the easiest steps towards clear, fresh, healthy-looking skin.

Let’s walk through a simple, step-by-step process for using a face wash correctly.

Step 1: Choose the Right Facewash

Before anything, make sure you’re using a cleanser made for your skin type:

If you're still unsure, look for keywords like:

• Oil-free
• Fragrance-free
• Dermatologist-tested
• For acne-prone or sensitive skin
  

Tip: In Pakistan, there are many good facewash brands available, but always check reviews and ingredients instead of buying only because of packaging.

 

Step 2: Wet Your Face with Lukewarm Water

Avoid washing with:

• Very hot water → can dry out the skin
• Very cold water → won’t remove oil properly

Lukewarm water is perfect: it loosens dirt, opens pores slightly, and helps the face wash work better.

 

Step 3: Take a Small Amount of Facewash

You only need a pea-sized amount, not half the bottle.

Rub it gently between your palms to activate the formula.

 

Step 4: Massage in Circular Motions

Be gentle, your skin is not a bathroom tile you have to scrub aggressively.

Massage for 20–30 seconds around:

• Forehead
• Nose and T-zone (extra oily area)
• Cheek
• Chin
• Jawline
  

If you wear makeup, double cleansing is best (micellar water first, then facewash).

 

Step 5: Rinse Well

Wash off all foam properly so no residue stays behind.
Leftover cleanser can clog pores or irritate your skin.

 

Step 6: Pat Dry (Don’t Rub)

Use a soft towel and pat gently.

Rubbing can cause irritation, redness, and even wrinkles over time.

 

Step 7: Follow with Skincare

After washing, your skin is clean and ready to absorb products better.

You can continue with:

1. Toner (optional)
2. Serum (Vitamin C / Niacinamide / Hydrating serum)
3. Moisturizer
4. Sunscreen (if morning routine)
   

How Often Should You Wash Your Face?

• Morning & Night: Ideal for most skin types
• Only Night: If you have extremely dry or sensitive skin
• After sweating or a workout: Recommended
  

Overwashing can damage your skin barrier; balance is key.

 

Facewash Price in Pakistan

Prices vary depending on:

• Brand
• Ingredients
• Skin type
• Quantity
  

Generally, facewash price in Pakistan ranges between:

PKR 500 – PKR 2,500+

Budget and luxury options are both available, so choose based on skin needs, not just advertisements.

 

Final Thoughts

Using a face wash properly is a simple but powerful step toward better skin. The right technique + right product can help reduce acne, oiliness, dryness, and dullness, leaving your skin fresh and healthy.
