1st step: Wash your face first
No matter
what time of the day you apply the face cream, you need to wash your face. This
way you get rid of sweat, grime, makeup, etc. This will allow the cream to
penetrate into your pores and work its magic. Also, use a gentle face cleanser
to wash it off properly.
2nd step: Application on damp skin
Always apply
your face cream on damp skin. If you wait for your face to dry off completely,
it won't work. Creams are better able to lock in moisture when you apply them
on damp skin. After you finish, pat your skin dry.
3rd step: Use small quantities
The best way
to apply face cream is using small quantities. Using more doesn't always show
the benefits. It takes a long time to rub the cream on your face as opposed to
when you use less. Your face should be able to absorb the cream rather than
feel sticky.
4th step: Dab it smooth
nstead of
taking a finger full of it, apply small spots all over your face and then
smoothen it out. This way you will be able to apply the cream on every bit of
your face.
Useful tips:
– Always
apply face cream or a moisturizer before applying the foundation even if your
skin is oily.
– A face
cream should be applied daily, even if you aren’t going to apply makeup.
– Always
make sure your hands are clean before applying moisturizer, face cream, or
foundation.
How to apply cream correctly for firm skin far away wrinkles
Wash your face.
For maximum
protection, sunscreen should be applied directly to the skin. Wash using your
favorite facial cleanser to remove makeup and oil that could prevent the
sunscreen from sticking properly. Then, pat your skin dry.
Apply a generous amount of sunscreen.
As a rule of
thumb, you need about a nickel-sized dollop for your face.
Cover your neck and upper chest as well.
A common
mistake is to apply sunscreen to the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, but
forget other sensitive areas. Give attention to all areas of exposed skin,
including the front and back of your neck, upper chest, upper back, and
shoulders. The tops of the ears are also easy to forget, so don’t miss this
area!
Rub excess sunscreen onto the backs of your hands.
This is
another commonly forgotten spot. People often wash up after applying sunscreen,
but this leaves the backs of the hands and fingers vulnerable to sun damage. A
better option is to simply wipe the palms of your hands on a paper towel.
Apply makeup over the sunscreen.
If you
normally wear moisturizer, foundation, blush, and other makeup, you may apply
it now.
