When's the best time to wash my face?

My mom says that I should wash my face in the shower because it is already wet, but I like to wash it out of the shower. What is the best way to clean my face?

 

Have you ever heard the phrase “different strokes for different folks”? Well, it definitely applies to this sitch! Sure, your mom might prefer to wash her face in the shower when she’s scrubbing the rest of her bod, but just ‘cause that’s her routine doesn’t mean it has to be yours.

 
To tell ya the truth, it doesn’t matter when you wash your face so long as you do it once a day, maybe twice if you’re getting sweaty or if you have oily skin. While it's convenient to wash your face in the shower, and exposes your sensitive skin to less water, which can be drying, it's definitely not a must-do. After a workout or before bed are perfectly good times to get squeaky clean.
 
Whenever you decide to scrub up, use warm water—not hot or cold—and your cleanser of choice. Rub gently with a washcloth or the pads of your fingers, then rinse well and moisturize. Tada!

MOD MOD MOD!!!
I have what I call "mild acne." I only have around 2 or 3 pimples, but I have a TON of whiteheads and blackheads on my forehead, nose, and under my mouth. I try to get rid of them, but it doesn't seem to be working. My mom says it takes time, and I know that, but school is starting soon and I want to get rid of all my acne. HElP!

 

Hey girl!

Have you gone to a dermatologist to get a professional's opinion. He or she could prescribe medication that can be stronger and more effective than the products you can buy at a drugstore. There are so many products out there to use, but the doctor can narrow it down for you.

i am the same thing like you but my cleanser was not working so my mom said to do it in the shower but it still didn't work so she is buying me a new cleanser maybe buy a different or telling your mom it might not work will help.

Mod Mod!!! hi! i have pimples on my back and i am really embarrassed by them and so i dont wear tank tops. how can i stop them! THANKS!




Hey babe,

Make sure you wash carefully with a gentle cleanser (even a bar soap will work) at least once a day. Rinse, pat dry, and wear cotton clothing so moisture can evaporate and your skin can breathe. Using an exfoliating scrub every other day on your back could also help! But for the best tips, ask your doc. They're professionals and have had this question before, so they can easily make some recommendations for ya!

MOD MOD! I need help- I don't know what face cleanser I should be using! My face has pimples and is red/blotchy. I wash my face every single day and every once in a while it breaks out like this for no reason, but this time is worse than ever before. My mom thinks my face cleaner might be too harsh, so what product do you recomend for very sensitive skin? Each night I put on face cleanser, scrub with a Buf Puf (to get rid of dead skin), and wash with a wash cloth. I sometimes use special liquid face lotion that is supposed to clean my pores, but this product usually stings. After I use a special face lotion. Is this routine wrong? What should I be doing?

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
