Body cleansing involves gently creating a lather and rubbing it well into the face and all over the body before rinsing. Unlike soap, some cleansers contain moisturizing elements.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Wet your skin: Start by wetting your face and body with lukewarm water. This helps prepare your skin for cleansing.
- Apply the cleanser: Dispense a small amount of body cleanser into your hands.
- Create a lather: Gently rub your hands together to create a lather. The video suggests creating a "lava".
- Apply to your skin: Gently massage the lather onto your face and body in circular motions. Be sure to cover all areas.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse your face and body with lukewarm water until all traces of the cleanser are removed.
- Pat dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can irritate the skin.
- Moisturize (optional): If your cleanser isn't moisturizing, follow up with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Using a body cleanser is a simple process involving wetting the skin, lathering the cleanser, applying it gently, and rinsing thoroughly.
