2 today I’m going to be talking about
facial cleansing or cleansing why did I
make it all fancy it is very very
important in every single skincare
routine that you cleanse your skin why
is that to give all the shit that our
skin goes through throughout the day duh
our skin goes through a lot ok every
single day it faces a ton of sun damage
pollution exposure and to top it all off
you’re scrubbing away at it with an
apricot scrub Brenda I see you and with
all the shit that our skin goes through
every single day it’s really important
that we’re making sure to get those
things out of our skin so we can
properly hydrate itself making sure our
skin is clean fresh youthful and glowy
now I will say right away I only knew
about the concept of cleansing about
four years ago before that I washed my
face about like once a year I would say
and it was always with those three on
one body washes like the shampoo
conditioned body wash ones I would
sometimes take it across my face and
just do that when my face was feeling a
little bit extra muddy it was only about
four years ago that I was like oh you’re
supposed to treat it different I had no
idea and for all you guys out there who

cleanse your face and for those of you
out there thinking wow this seems really
simple bitch I didn’t know what
cleansing my face was and I’m sure
there’s a lot of people who don’t know
either and you never know you may be
cleansing your face wrong too so listen
up step number one to figure out your
skin type knowing your skin type is
important to deciding which type of
cleanser that you’re going to be using
for your skin now if you don’t know what
your skin type is go to link in my
description box below for episode one of
this series where I talk about how to
find your skin type knowing your skin
type will help you so much in deciding
which products you should use for your
skincare routine and will say
you a lot of money so I highly recommend
it step number two finds a good cleanser
now obviously I know that if you go to
the drugstore there are hundreds of
different cleansers that you can use so
I’m going to recommend my personal
favorite ones if you do feel like
purchasing one of these cleansers and
want to support me on my goal of getting
to do YouTube full time be sure to click
on one of those links in the description
box below I make a small Commission off
of your purchase and I would greatly
appreciate it if you do decide that you
want to purchase the cleanser thank you
so much if you have combination to oily
skin this is no secret my favorite
cleanser in the world is the youth to
the People kale and green tea spinach
cleanser I love this one because it
really does a good job of just getting
all the dirt and grime out of your skin
but doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry
and tight afterwards and it’s an amazing
cleanser if you have more dry skin then
i recommend the matcha hemp hydrating
cleanser from crave beauty this one is
so good I feel like it’s very similar to
these two people one but delivers more
hydration and it’s more gentle on the
skin which is exactly what someone with
dry skin needs and if you’re like Hiram
bitch I do not have time to shop online
for your cleanser I need one pronto that
I can find at the drugstore to day then
I recommend it these simple micelle a
gel wash it’s cheap it’s good it doesn’t
overly strip your skin and it’s just an
amazing cleanser for doing what is
supposed to do now if you’re going to be
finding your own cleanser two
recommendations that I have is first
look at the ingredient list if the
second third or fourth ingredient is
sodium lauryl sulfate then I recommend
do not use that cleanser because that is
an ingredient that I personally do not
believe should be in cleansers it can
overly strip or damage your skin and we
do not want that in our skincare no sir
in addition if you find a cleanser that
has a scrub in it or is any type of
polish or is a three-in-one facial wash
or has the name a st. Ives apricot scrub
avoid it at all costs would you take a
bit of an old man’s advice do not use
scrubs please just don’t do it please
don’t do it please refrain how many ways
do I need to say don’t fucking do it for
you to understand
I’m just personally not a fan of facial
scrubs unless they are very very
particular ones and very very gentle if
you really really want to see effective
and safe ways of getting your skin
smooth and getting rid of all those dead
flakey skin cells then please do not use
the scrub and listen to my next video
where I talk about exfoliation you want
to find a good cleanser that is only
suppose
to cleanse your skin if you want to
exfoliate your skin or something like
that feel free to subscribe and stay
tuned for the next portion of this
segment where I will talk about
exfoliation treatment and all that stuff
for step number three wet to your face
now this may seem really simple but I
personally recommend just cleansing your
face when you shower I find that this is
the most easy way to cleanse your face
and also to make sure that you don’t
forget to cleanse your skin because when
I didn’t use my cleanser in the shower I
always found myself justifying myself
out of cleansing my face or just
completely forgetting you’ll be way more
consistent I promise you that but
regardless either wet your face up the
sink or wet it while you are in the
shower take about a dime-sized amount of
cleanser in your hand rub it quickly
between both hands to foam it up and
then gently start rubbing it across your
skin which is where we come into step
number four how to properly wash your
face now I personally recommend using a
cleanser for about 45 seconds to a
minutes if you do any less than this
then it may not cleanse your skin deeply
enough if you do longer than this and
then you can risk overly stripping your
skin which means it completely throws
off the hydration level of your skin no
I cannot stress this enough be gentle oh
sorry that was too harsh be gentle make
sure when you are washing your face you
are not pressing into your skin too hard
rubbing your face too violently or
causing any type of discomfort or pain
it should be a very nice gentle lovely
experience almost like a spa an easy way
to do this is just imagine if you’re
touching someone else’s face and wash
your face in the same way you will find
that you’re touching very gently but
still sponging effectively after you’re
done rinse off completely and dry your
face with a clean towel now I will say
first hand I struggled to do this I
struggle to clean my face with a clean
towel but especially if you have acne
prone skin I highly recommend this
because your towels and your pillowcases
are the most important things for
cleanliness in order to prevent bacteria
buildup so try to make sure your towel
is clean now step number five after you
dry off make sure you don’t wait too
long before you start applying the rest
of your skincare routine sometimes it’s
easy to get caught up in all the
busyness of life that you forget to put
on your skincare for a good 30 minutes
and by that point your skin is already
overly stripped and dry or it’s already
producing oil because it doesn’t sense
any type of hydration on the face
I personally don’t wait any more than 15
minutes before I start applying my
skincare routine that way I can make
sure my skin is taken care of everything
second of the day and won’t start over
producing oil making me look greasy for
the final step step number six start
applying your skin care and if you want
