Answer 2

Like everyone said - its because you;re rubbing your face a bit. I find my face is always a bit red after I put on moisturizer for the seem reason. There's not a lot you can do except wash gently and kind of pat in moisturizer instead of rubbing it.

My skin was kinda bad like a year ago, and I took to waking up at 4:30 am, washing my face, and then going back to bed so that the redness would be gone by the time I got up for school at 6:30, but my face would still be clean.

Answer 3

It's because of when your hands and your face wash rub up against your skin, it probably irritates it a little and makes it red. Try scrubbing gentley with your hands and also maybe a gentler face wash.

Answer 4

i'm not really sure, but its probably just the face wash working. don't worry about it :-)

Answer 5

Irritationn  of the rubbing and the product but its killing bacteria
