Protect Your Skin with Facial Cleansing! The Right Way to Wash and 3 Recommended Foaming Cleansers
With deep medical insight cultivated as an internal medicine specialist, I bridge aesthetic surgery, dermatology, and internal medicine. Having spent my childhood in China, I communicate fluently in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Possessing an international perspective—evidenced by invitations to present at overseas conferences—I actively promote techniques as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for GOURI and REJURAN®. My specialty procedures include double eyelid surgery, skin-nurturing boosters, and body hyaluronic acid treatments. My approach leverages the holistic understanding of the body cultivated through internal medicine to guide patients toward natural, healthy beauty.
Hello, everyone.
I am Dr. Hime of BIANCA CLINIC, also known as Senki Akashi.
The foundation of beautiful skin is daily cleansing.
No matter how expensive your skincare products are, if you're cleansing incorrectly, it can actually stress your skin...
So this time, I'll introduce the ideal facial cleansing method and a recommended foaming cleanser that I actually use myself.
What is the ideal facial cleansing routine?

First, let's check the surprisingly common mistakes people make when washing their face.
-
Wash without lathering
-
Scrub vigorously to remove the dirt
-
Leaving facial cleanser on your face for an extended period
-
Rinse with hot water
How about it? Does that ring a bell?
The purpose of cleansing is to "remove unwanted impurities." Excessive friction can lead to skin inflammation and hyperpigmentation, potentially causing dark spots and redness.
The ideal is,A rich, creamy lather that won't fall off even when you turn your palm upside down。
Gently wash with a resilient lather so your hands don't directly touch the skin.
The recommended time for applying foam is about 30 seconds (excluding foam pack-compatible cleansers).
The water should be lukewarm—just cool enough to make you think, "Hmm, maybe a little chilly?" Finally, don't rub vigorously with a towel; instead, gently press a clean towel against your skin to absorb the moisture.

Hime-sensei's Top 3 Recommended Foaming Cleansers
Once you know the proper way to wash your face, the next step is choosing the right products. Here, I'll introduce three foam cleansers that I've actually tried and found effective.
① SAwash (Skin Armor)
SAwash, launched by Skin Amure in July 2024, features resilient microbubbles.
Simply apply it to your skin to lift deep-seated impurities from within your pores, allowing for a refreshing cleanse without scrubbing.
Formulated with vitamins C and B12, it feels like cleansing with a beauty serum. Leaves skin one shade brighter and radiant with a translucent finish.
② M-DEAR Whip Wash
The mousse-type foam adheres closely to the skin, gently removing only impurities.
Formulated with Vitamin C, it leaves skin moisturized while brightening its appearance. This product delivers a "gentle cleansing experience."
③ Curel Foaming Cleanser
A premium foam cleanser available at drugstores.
It thoroughly removes sebum and impurities while protecting ceramides, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin and children.
It remains a consistently popular choice as a convenient and reliable foam cleanser.
