How to choose and use my facial cleanser?
Polluted air, cold, stress... Over the day, the skin is exposed to external aggressions that damage it and make it fragile. That's why you need to cleanse it to unclog the pores and let it breathe. Every cleansing is like a new start for the regenerated skin. All the more reason to make cleansing a daily reflex!
Why use a skin cleanser?
Like the name suggests, a skin cleanser is a product that cleans the skin and removes all of its impurities. Ideally, it is recommended to clean your face at night to remove makeup, pollution particles, and other residue found over the course of the day, but also in the morning to remove sebum and sweat accumulated overnight.
Generally, cleansing products are used to:
- Clean the skin and remove impurities and pollutants that are stuck to the surface,
- Promote the blood’s micro-circulation,
- Boost cell renewal through the elimination of dead skin cells,
- Reduce risks of blemishes (pimples, blackheads, etc. )
- Oxygenate your skin to maximize the benefits of the products applied after.
Did you know? Make-up removal and cleansing are not a substitute for one another. You have to remove your makeup and then cleanse your skin. These two steps are essential to your daily beauty routine.
