Daily cleansing of the skin of the face is a simple procedure, but there are a number of mistakes that are often made. We will talk about it so that you can avoid them.
Perception of the concepts of "washing" and "cleaning" as completely synonymous. Just washing with water is not enough. Water will not remove dead cells, accumulated sebum and other impurities with a dense texture. It will not create the necessary conditions for nutrients from the cream or serum to penetrate deep into the skin. Cleaning in general is a little more, and washing is only one of its components.
Washing with hot water. It provokes redness of the skin and significantly opens the pores. Would you say that if they are more open, it will be better to clean them? Faster, more cosmetics will fit in the subsequent makeup application and clog the pores. What it looks like is well-known to most. Too high or low water temperature provokes skin stress, which in no case does not lead to anything good. Therefore, it is optimal to wash not with hot, but with cool or warm water at room temperature. That gives the opposite effect - narrowing of pores.
Cleansing, washing the face without first washing hands. If you do not wash your hands beforehand, do not remove dirt and pathogenic bacteria from them (and they are definitely there, believe me, they are just not visible to the naked eye), all this, together with the cleaning agent, will move to your face. It is better not to touch the face with unwashed hands and not only during cleaning, but also throughout the day.
Use of aggressive washers and other cleaning products. When the result of the procedure is not pleasing, the thought comes to mind that the tool is probably too light or simple, and does not cope with its work. Aggressive cosmetic products are bought. As a result, the skin is injured, and the problems do not disappear, but rather intensify. Cosmetics for washing should combine efficiency and delicacy.
Application of soap to clean the face. Soap damages the protective barrier of the skin and destroys the pH level. It can worsen the skin microflora and intensify the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, as well as develop vulnerability and sensitivity to external influences. If you want to feel dryness, flaking, see signs of premature aging, then use soap. No one can forbid you. But if you are interested in how to provide the skin with maximum care and support, then use special facial cleansers with the maximum physiological pH level.
Washing equals deep cleansing. It does not. You need to wash yourself, as well as carry out the other cleaning steps described above, twice a day, and such procedures as scrubbing and peeling are not for daily implementation. Each of them has its own optimal frequency, depending on the composition of the product and its purpose. But you definitely can't use it every morning and evening. It will not be possible to enhance the effect of the face wash by excessively frequent exfoliation, but to harm it.
Enduring too long pauses between stages of cleaning. First remove the make-up, wash after some time, sometime later remember about toning - it doesn't work like that. Stages during the morning and evening procedures should be carried out one after the other with intervals of no more than a minute. You have allocated a little time, done everything necessary - and you can rest easy. This is the only way.
Knowing how to clean your face correctly, what to do and why, what face cleaning products to use, as well as being aware of possible mistakes, and most importantly - knowing how to avoid them, you will definitely cope with the task. Your skin will be clean, pleasant, healthy and young to your delight.
