Using a good facial cleansing cream is the first step in taking care of your skin. The anti-aging creams and moisturizers you apply to your skin won’t do any good if you don’t cleanse your skin properly first. Let me tell you why.
Why cleaners?
Every day, your skin is exposed to inclement weather and various environmental pollutants. This makes your skin dry. To compensate, your skin secretes a lot of sebum. The combination of excess sebum, dirt and grime, and dead skin cells makes your skin an oily mess. Unless you remove this mess, the face creams you apply will not be able to penetrate deep into your skin and nourish your skin cells. That is why it is necessary to use facial cleansers.
Why not soap?
Most people use soap to wash their faces. If you are one of them, please read the following sentences very carefully. You are making a big mistake. Soap tends to dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry, it becomes flaky, itchy, and dull. It also begins to develop cracks through which harmful bacteria can enter and cause infection. Cleansers, unlike soap, gently cleanse skin without stripping essential moisture. Therefore, it’s a good idea to avoid soap altogether and use a gentle facial cleanser.
What kind of cleaners?
Most cleansers these days contain synthetic chemicals like parabens that can be very damaging to your skin. Therefore, it is advisable to opt for organic products that are free of these harmful chemicals. Look for products that contain natural substances known for their ability to cleanse human skin without overly drying it.
What are these substances?
Kaolin is a natural substance known for its cleansing properties. It is mined from a special type of clay found in New Zealand. It improves circulation, heals inflammation, blemishes and acne, and gently cleanses the skin. Therefore, make sure to choose facial cleansers that contain kaolin. Some other ingredients to look for include cynergy TK, shea butter, active manuka honey, and macadamia oil. These substances cleanse the skin, rejuvenate skin cells, reverse the aging process, and make skin look smoother and younger.
Should they be used regularly?
A cleansing mask, like any other skincare product, needs to be used regularly. However, unlike a face cream, it should not be used every day. You can apply the cleansing mask on your face twice a month. You can apply the facial cleansing cream on the skin, leave it for about half an hour, and then wash it off. You can also use a good moisturizer every couple of weeks for a balancing effect.
