Steps for facial cleansing

The face is one of the parts with the most delicate skin and requires special care. In this article we tell you the steps to perform a facial cleansing.

The face is a very important part of our body, and taking care of its skin is no less important. To prevent wrinkles, spots and other skin problems, it is essential to maintain a good facial cleansing routine. In addition to that, you will get softer and brighter skin. In this article we will tell you the steps to perform a facial cleansing.

1. Remove your makeup 

The first step is to have a clean face, free of makeup , which clogs the skin pores. To do this, perform a simple cleansing and remove all makeup with your favorite makeup remover, either with makeup remover wipes or with liquid cleansers and cotton. 

Don't forget to clean your eyes thoroughly , especially if you use waterproof makeup , with the right product to leave your eyelids and eyelashes clean and free of makeup residue. 

2. Use a facial cleanser

To start, once your face is free of makeup, clean it with facial cleansers . Our range of facial cleansers are perfect for this step, they are paraben-free and made from natural ingredients to preserve the health of your skin. Gently massage the skin on your face and neck to enjoy the moment and remove any residue that may be left on your skin. 

3. Exfoliate the skin

Once you have washed your face thoroughly, it is time to exfoliate your facial skin. Choose a product that suits your skin type and remember that facial skin is more sensitive , so you should massage in circular motions but gently so as not to damage the skin. Exfoliation will remove dead cells and soften the skin.

4. Take a steam bath

Once you have completed the cleansing, it is important to open the pores to subsequently remove impurities from the skin such as blackheads or pimples.

To perform a steam bath, boil water and then hold your face close to the steam that comes out of the water for a few minutes. You can also soak a cloth in hot water and then place it on your face to warm up the skin. With this step, you not only open the pores so that the products are absorbed better and you get better hydration, but it is also a moment of relaxation and care.

5. Apply a toner

Facial toner is used after cleansing to restore the skin's pH. Use your favorite facial toner to achieve a total facial cleanse , as well as refresh and balance the skin to continue your complete facial cleansing. Apply the toner to a cotton pad and pat all over your face, or you can also use it through a spray bottle. 

There are toners for all skin types: oily, dehydrated, sensitive... Choose the one that best suits you to carry out this step.

6. Take care of your eye contour

The skin around the eyes is more delicate and therefore requires special attention. The eye contour rejuvenates the look, moisturizes the skin and reduces the appearance of bags and expression lines. 

To apply the eye contour cream, put a little product on your fingertips, without using too much, and apply it to the area. Then, massage gently with your fingers or the applicator, always from the inside to the outside, without forgetting the area where crow's feet appear. Finally, pat a few times to check that the product has been absorbed correctly .
