Daily facial cleansing: the first step towards healthy skin
Facial cleansing is the essential preliminary step before starting any usual anti-aging or hydration facial treatment. Washing the face with just water is not enough, given that it doesn’t get rid of dead cells which live on the surface of our skin. You should find the time for facial cleansing, transforming it into your every day ritual. Think of it this way: it is a time that you should spend pampering yourself. It sounds good doesn´t it?
Why is facial hygiene so important?
There are triggering factors which damage your skin every day: make-up, environmental pollution, grease, sweat and dust. A good rest is also essential. According to a recent study by UH Case Medical Center (Cleveland, Ohio, United Stated), it is important to get enough hours sleep so that the body and especially the skin regains its vitality and can regenerate itself. All of these factors cause pores to be blocked and dead skin cells to accumulate, which stops the dermis from breathing and consequently causes it to not have enough oxygenation. With all of these elements, your skin can lose brightness, imperfections and flaccidity can emerge and wrinkles can start to appear.
Facial cleansing is the first step of any treatment, before serum, eye contour, ampoules, hydration creams or any other type of product. In this way, if you cleanse your face beforehand, it will remove the clogging of the pores , and the result of your facial treatment will be much better.
Cleansing will bring many benefits for you:
- It oxidises the skin
- Your facial treatments will be applied uniformly around your face, and its visual effect will improve.
- It delays the appearance of wrinkles
- Your skin gains brightness.
- It helps to reduce the tired feeling on your face.
- Your skin will appear smoother and softer.
In addition, you need to consider another factor, related to the frequency of facial cleansing. There are two types: the daily and the weekly. In this article we will concentrate on the daily type.
Should you do your facial cleanse in the morning or at night?
DOUBLE CLEANSING is essential.
The morning cleanse is the base for daily care, while the evening cleanse is to remove all of the oily impurities from your face which you have built up throughout the day, such as makeup, lipstick, mascara, sun cream and creams.
DOUBLE CLEANSING is not about cleansing the skin twice in any form whatsoever. Products which compliment each other should be used, and all of them together will help your skin to reach an ideal level of cleanliness.
The products which you can use to wash your face daily can differ. We advise you to use miscella products, such as for example, miscella cleaning solutions, miscella gel or miscella oil. It all depends of the texture you like the most. You can also mix and match between them according to your cleansing needs. The most important thing is that, in the morning and at night, you leave enough time for “your ritual”. Because a daily facial cleanse is the first step towards a healthy skin.
