Wash Your Face (Teens)

Are you 12 or older? Do you wonder how some girls in school have perfect skin, and yet you seem to have redness and acne everywhere? It's simple. Washing your face twice a day is a great way to clear your skin and get a natural shine!

Steps

 * 1) Get your materials ready. You should have a scrubby washcloth, an acne or blackhead medication, and a good face wash. You don't need all of these things, but it's recommended. You can find any of these things at your local drugstore.
 * 2) First, get warm or hot water. Rinse your face several times. What this does is open up all of your pores. You can't rinse a face with closed pores!
 * 3) I usually use the special acne medication first. Apply as directed and don't forget to scrub!
 * 4) Rinse! If you don't rinse off, the soap can actually CAUSE face problems. Unless directed, rinse directly off.
 * 5) Now you can use your face wash. This will clean all of your pores out...and it should also leave you with a shining glow!
 * 6) Now that you are all rinsed off, rinse with cold water to close your pores. This will protect your face from all dirt and yuck that cause acne, blackheads, and pimples.
 * 7) Pad your face dry with a cloth or paper towel. Your face should be almost rubbery when done. All clean! If you have face cream, its good to apply so your face stays moist.

Tips

 * Wash your face after any physical activity, as well. Sweat and dirt cause pimples and blackheads.
 * Remember to not forget the cold water! Washing your face will be useless if your pores are open, and in an hour your face could be equally dirty.
 * If this does not help, seek help from a doctor. They can recommend medical creams to help clean your face of acne and blemishes.
 * Washing your face gives you a natural glow, you will notice. I also find it lightens freckles and moles, making them slightly unnoticeable.

Warnings

 * If you have a serious problem with your acne or pimples, seek medical help. Doctors can offer special medications that can help out.
 * Always, unless otherwise instructed, wash off the face wash and medication. If left on, it can actually CAUSE problems.
 * Follow instructions on the package. Don't use more wash or medication then instructed to avoid problems.
 * After you wash your face, you may cause extreme jealousy to others. They may think that you are too beautiful. Radiant glowing is a common side effect.
