5 Best Men's Korean Face Washes for Pimples

No one likes to wake up in the morning and see acne, instead you want to have fresh, clean skin. We've rounded up the best facial cleansers for men for oily, acne-prone skin type.
  

When you think of skin care, here's what you might imagine: While some women meticulously work through a 10-step routine every night, the male counterpart is happy to have an all-in-one product that can be used as a shampoo, conditioner and body wash. 

If you're one of those men who has been washing their face with the old bar of body soap or just water, it's time to upgrade your skin care routine with a gentle facial cleanser that everyone can benefit from, whether you’re in your 20s, 30s or even 50s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it bad to wash your face with soap?

That depends on the type of soap you use on your face. Conventional soap, especially if not properly moistened before use, can be abrasive, irritating to the skin, stripping it of its natural oils and disrupting the skin's pH, which can damage the skin barrier.

The harsh chemicals contained in soap may be useful for cleansing the body, but certainly not the face, and they can lead to breakouts, acne and pimples.

Soap that contains dyes can make your skin look wrinkled, haggard, and dull, while fragrances can trigger allergies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to use a facial cleanser?

First, wash your hands before touching your face. This will prevent you from transferring dirt and germs to your face.

Wet your hands, splash your face with lukewarm water and apply an adequate amount of a gentle product that is suitable for your skin type. Using your fingertips, massage it thoroughly over your face and neck in circular motions, for at least one to two minutes. 

Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Excessively hot water can irritate and dry out your skin, while cold water may not effectively remove some types of grime and makeup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

How often should men cleanse their face?

In general, you should wash your face once a day—no more than twice a day (maybe three times if you exercise where you sweat a lot), once in the morning and once in the evening.

This is because if you wash your face too often, you can disrupt your skin's natural lipid barrier and lead to skin sensitivity.
