What is the best way to wash your face in the morning and evening?
The procedure should be performed 2 times a day: morning and evening. After waking up, you need to use boiled or filtered water. During sleep, the skin secretes a large number of various substances, forming a sebaceous film, which contributes to clogging of pores. In the morning, drugs are used that do not contain alcohol.
A large amount of dusty particles and all kinds of bacteria accumulate on the face during the day. In addition, at the end of the day, thorough washing off of cosmetic products from the face is required, so the evening procedure involves the application of particularly diligent efforts.
It is necessary to divide the process into 2 parts. First you need to remove makeup with a special milk, then use a cleanser. It is best to take foam, gel or cleansing oil.
Means for washing there are many. However, there are those that can not be abused. All nuances should be considered.
- Toilet soap dries the skin, so it is not suitable for daily washing. Beauticians advise using it extremely rarely. Only very high-quality natural soap can be used regularly.
- It is undesirable to wash your face with laundry soap, as it dries and tightens the skin, destroying its protective layer. This contributes to premature withering of the epidermis. The tool can be used no more than 2 times a week, treating it with problem areas of the skin. Numerous consumer reviews indicate that laundry soap helps get rid of acne and acne.
- Tar soap should also not be consumed frequently. It contains birch tar. The natural substance exerts a reflex effect on skin reflectors, destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, and perfectly eliminates acne. It is best to take long breaks after each course of use.
- Instead of soap, many use a special foam. It has a light airy structure, is perfectly applied to the face, penetrates deep into the skin, saturating it with nutrients. Foam eliminates oily shine, while not overdrying the dermis. The skin becomes smooth, velvety, even, healthy looking.
- For people with problem skin, dermatologists recommend using a cleansing facial mousse. It relieves inflammation, eliminates many skin problems, cleanses and restores the epidermis.
- Coconut oil is ideal for removing makeup. The product is suitable for all skin types. It perfectly copes with cleansing pores, does not destroy the upper layer of the dermis. The constant use of oil contributes to the disappearance of dark circles under the eyes and smoothing small wrinkles of the eyelids.
- To avoid infection of the skin, all products are applied to the face with clean hands. You can use brushes and sponges during the water facial procedure, but in the presence of acne they damage the epidermis. Too hard water must be softened. To this end, add half a teaspoon of soda or borax to a liter of liquid. Or you can boil water and then let it brew.
You can wash your face only with warm water. Hot liquid leads to increased production of sebum, dehydration. It disrupts the sebaceous glands and expands the capillaries. Hot water increases the sensitivity of the skin to temperature extremes, while the skin becomes dry, loses firmness and elasticity. Cold water is also not recommended for face washing, as it dries the skin, which begins to peel off. Owners of a fatty type of epidermis can be washed with cold water, but this should not be abused.
Moisture is removed from the face with wet wipes. Rubbing the skin with a towel is undesirable, especially to owners of sensitive skin.
