Why is Facial Cleansing Important?
Facial cleansing is essential for maintaining healthy skin. During the day, dirt, oil, sweat, make-up, old product residues and impurities accumulate on the surface of the skin. Although it may not always be visible to the naked eye, it is there on the skin. It is also important to clean the skin to make it more receptive to other products used in your skin care routine.
Why should you avoid using hand soap on your face?
Using hand soap on the face can be harmful, as it can dry out the skin and upset its natural pH balance. The skin has a pH value of 4.5-5.5 and a soap can have a pH value of 10 and higher. That says a lot and if you use soap on your face, the skin's "acid mantle" which is the skin's natural protection is destroyed and then makes the skin more susceptible to bad bacteria and other things. Instead of using soap, it is recommended to invest in a mild facial cleanser that is specially formulated to cleanse the face without causing irritation or dryness. It is also important to find a cleanser that is adapted to your skin type and skin condition.
Which Cleaning Should I Choose?
Cream cleanser: Cream cleanser is suitable for everyone, but mainly dry and sensitive skin. This type of cleanser is gentle and moisturizing, helping to cleanse the skin without drying it out.
Gel Cleanser: Gel Cleanser is light and refreshing, making it perfect for oily or combination skin. It effectively removes excess oil and impurities. Gel cleansing gives a clean and fresh feeling and many people like it, however it can be a bit drying on dry and sensitive skin.
Mousse Cleanser: Mousse Cleanser has a light and airy consistency that makes it easy to apply and rinse off. This type of cleanser suits most skin types who want a pleasant cleanse that doesn't feel sticky.
Clay cleansing: Clay cleansing is deep cleansing and effectively removes impurities and toxins from the skin. The clay absorbs excess oil and helps reduce shine, making it perfect for oily or blemished skin.
Choosing the Right Cleanser for Your Skin Type:
To choose the right cleanser for your skin type and skin condition, it is best to consult with your skin therapist who knows your skin and you best. If the skin feels tight after cleansing, it is probably not the right cleanser for your skin type.
Having a good cleanser is really important for your skin. The first step in your skin care routine is super important to keep your skin fresh and beautiful. When washing your face, be careful not to use too hot water as it can dry out your skin. And not too cold water either, because then it doesn't dissolve the dirt properly. So find the perfect temperature. When you are done cleaning, be sure not to use a dirty towel.
It's important to take care of your skin so it can look its best!
