How to Use:
- Wet the face well using lukewarm water.
- Apply a suitable amount of the face wash onto wet hands.
- Spread the cleanser over the face while avoiding the eye area.
- Gently massage the skin in circular motions, focusing on areas more prone to oiliness and buildup.
- Rinse the face well with water until all cleanser residue is completely removed.
- Pat the skin dry with a soft towel, then use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
- It can be used morning and evening, while reducing the frequency if dryness or discomfort appears.
Usage Tips from Beauty Time:
- The Beauty Time team recommends starting with a small amount of cleanser and massaging it gently; increasing the amount of product or rubbing strongly does not mean achieving better cleansing or exfoliation.
- For oily and combination skin, gently focus on the forehead, nose, and chin, where oil and buildup tend to appear more often.
- If your skin is sensitive or not used to salicylic acid, start using the cleanser once daily or every other day, then gradually increase the frequency according to skin tolerance.
- After cleansing, use a suitable moisturizer to support the skin barrier and maintain moisture balance, especially when using other products that contain acids or retinoids.
- If you are using strong acne treatments or additional exfoliants, monitor your skin’s response and avoid over-combining them if dryness, redness, peeling, or stinging appears.
- Do not leave the cleanser on the face for a long time as a mask; gentle massage followed by thorough rinsing is enough to reduce the chance of dryness or irritation.
- If you wear heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen, it is preferable to remove these layers first, then use the cleanser as a cleansing step to help purify the skin better.
- Avoid very hot water, as it may increase dryness and moisture loss and make the skin more prone to tightness.
- For a brighter appearance, make the cleanser part of a balanced routine that includes hydration and daily sun protection instead of relying on cleansing alone.
- Using sunscreen in the morning is an important step when introducing exfoliating products with salicylic acid into a regular skincare routine.
