In the first lesson, we’ve learnt how to wash our face. Before we started the lesson, I was wondering why it can take a lesson of about one and half hour to teach us how to washing our face? Everyone washes face everyday and it should be nothing special and new.
Actually it did not take up such a long time. The first hour was actually given us the ideas on why and what are the benefits to learn how to wash our face as well as teaching us the method. The last thirty minutes were to do the demo and let us practice by ourselves.
I think most of the people are thinking that washing face is for cleansing purpose only. However, it is not very right. Cleansing is also boosting up the absorption of the ingredients from the products that you applied on your face such as the facial cream and firming eye cream.
As we understand, there are three different skin types – dry skin, oily skin and mixed skin types and we always think our skin type is one of these and we will choose very specific creams to use. However the tutor said everyone has the same skin type it is the mixed skin type in fact. The oiliest area is the nose and the driest area is the skin around our eyes and therefore we actually need to choose different creams for different areas of our face.
As the skin around our eyes is the driest and thinnest skin on our face, the firming eye cream that we choose is very important, we must choose something non-sensitive and made with natural ingredients. It is also very important for how we apply it on our faces as it will be useless if our face does not absorb the ingredients of the firming eye cream and the facial cream.

I’ve started to wash my face and apply the firming eye cream and facial cream with this method about a week and I found my face really looks different and the skin has a significant change!
