Daily cleansing of the skin removes dirts, germs and pollutants from the skin and helps it look and feel clean and refreshed...
Qtn: how and when to clean the skin.?
How: 
* cleanse
* Exfoliate
* Mosturize

When:
Cleansing:  
*Wash your face twice daily with warm water and mild facial soap.
*Gently pat or blot the face with a soft towel
* Do not pull or scrub the skin
* Do not overwash the face especially if you a dry skin
* Do not use body soap or alcohol base product.

Exfoliate:
*  The best time to exfoliate is in the morning
* Exfoliate once or twice a week ( less if your skin is dry or sensitive)
* Wet face with warm water not hot water
* Exfoliate the face in a circular motion for 30mins and wash with lukewarm water
* Do not use products with large or sharp granules
* Very importantly do not exfoliate too often as it this can remove your skin natural protection and causes redness and irritation.

Moisturize

* Apply while your face is damp or wet
* Using a light even pressure move upwards strokes from the neck to the forehead
*Even acne prone skin needs moisturizers but make sure its oil free
*Choose products appropriate for your skin type( creamer products for dry skin and light products for oily skin)
* Do not pull the skin ( especially around the eyes)

Warm water is used to open your pore for proper exfoliating. There are good products for exfoliating. Lemon tightens pores and even out skin tone but not not for treating pimples.... with your type of skin, you need to be careful with products so that you dont remove the natural protection on the skin.
 Again if you are looking at exfoliating your skin naturally, you can use lemon juice, granulated sugar, olive oil and honey. While the lemon is tightening and evening out your skin, the sugar is removing dead cells and cleaning the pores, olive oil heals acne scaring and honey prevent future breakouts. Thank you.
 
Why do we have to exfoliate with warm water alone. What of lime?I once used it on my face and chest for some minutes before I shower is it cool or not but helped me though removed my pimples because my skin is very oily
