During the day, our sweat glands secrete about 500 grams of water, carbon dioxide, lactic acid and other substances. Dust and dirt settle on the skin, plus make-up on the face fills pores all day long.
Therefore, before going to sleep, you need to take care of cleaning your face.
Cosmetologists claim that skin cleansing is the most important stage of daily skin care. Therefore, ignoring this phase of care is certainly not worth it. The main thing is to choose a suitable cleanser for the face.
The main task of the cleaning agent is to remove the cosmetics that have accumulated during the day of contamination and sebum. A good cleaning agent should not only cleanse, but also have a number of other functions: increase microcirculation and drainage function, remove toxins and exfoliate the upper layer of the epidermis.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), the cosmetic market is so crowded that it is very easy to get confused in the choice of means - all products have different textures, and accordingly - formulas, the need for use. How do you choose the right product? Let's sort out the types of cleaning agents and whether they are suitable for that or another type of skin. In the modern world of cosmetology, there is a slightly different classification of skin types than we are used to.
, there are only 4 types of skin:
1. Dry or greasy
For dry skin: milk, foam. For oily: Gel, hydrophilic oil, soap.
2. Sensitive or steady type
creative: foam, mycelial water. Resistant: all types (depending on dryness)
3. Pigmented or non-pigmented
Oriented: cleansing agent with a lightening effect. Non-pigmented: all types (depending on the degree of dryness)
4. Wrinkly or non-wrinkled
Wrinkly: it is better to use gentle products with a moisturizing effect. Wrinkle-free: all types (depending on the degree of dryness)
Milk - An excellent option for those who prefer to wash without water. Apply a little bit of product to a cotton pad and clean your face, then wipe your face with a tonic and moisturize with cream. In addition to the convenience in use, the milk can be captured by caring components who will deal with early wrinkles and imperfections of the skin.
Penkoy to wash comfortably both in the morning and in the evening. The product does not tamper and does not dry out, but at the same time it removes surface dirt and excess grease. The best cleansers for the face in the form of foam contain special ingredients that provide hydration, prevent irritation and do not disturb the pH-level of the skin.
Gels perfectly cope with deep soiling and completely remove excess fat, reduce pores and provide mashing. Oily skin is recommended to be cleaned with gel in the morning and evening. When choosing a gel, pay attention to the composition. It should contain delicate superficial active substances (PAS) based on sugar tensides or amino acids, as well as softening alllantoin, bisabolol, saline, leucine or glycerol And no alcohol!
Hydrophilic oil literally "dissolves" cosmetics on the face, without causing an alkaline reaction and without overdrying the skin. The oil not only removes dirt and make-up, but also makes the skin silky and soft. It does not make the skin heavier and gives it a matte effect.
Soap cleans the skin, removing even the most stubborn dirt from it. But when using it, you need to be extremely neat: some means for cleansing the face in the form of soap dry the skin strongly, and sometimes even violate its barrier properties, therefore, it is against the sensitivities.
Micellar water It was originally intended for very sensitive and prone to allergies of the skin of children. Therefore, in the composition of micellar water there is no soap and alkali, which dry out the skin, as well as soap substances that require thorough rinsing. Therefore, this method is the best for sensitive skin.
Scrub - an additional cleaning agent, which should not be applied every day. The restoration of the hydrolipid mantle of the skin occurs within 72 hours. Therefore, daily exfoliation will only disrupt the barrier function of the skin, which will lead to a decrease in its immunity and inability to resist infections. But the scrub also has useful properties: the scrubbing particles deeply cleanse the pores, improve microcirculation, even out the relief and have a detox effect on the surface of the skin. For all types of skin, it is better to choose a gentle scrub that does not tamper with the skin.
In fact, “your” cleanser can still be found only through trial and error, so do not spare the money and feel free to change the tool that does not suit you.
