Washing my face
Washing my face with warm water: cupped hands, gentle washing, and patting dry.
The steps (7 steps)
Step 1: I turn on the tap.
Step 2: I check the water is warm, not hot.
Step 3: I fill my cupped hands with water.
Step 4: I wash my face gently.
My forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.
Step 5: I turn off the tap.
Step 6: I pat my face dry with a towel.
Step 7: I look in the mirror. My face is clean.
For grown-ups
A warm, wet flannel is a gentle first step if splashing water feels like too much.
Washing the face is also one of the steps of wudu.Source: Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:6
