Great facial cleansing and body care routine are paramount to achieving the much-desired skin glow and overall well-being. Routinely practicing a credible skin care routine has been proven to help maintain the radiance and textural feel of your skin, keeping it healthy and fortified
Skin cleansing helps you get rid of germs and dirt but there is more to skin cleansing that the regular application of cleanser and water; or in some cases cleansing wipes or ‘no-water’ cleansing
Firstly, there are different categories of cleansers available – which are suited to different skin types. See the table below:
Face wash vs face cleanser
Face wash: They are made to clean the pores deeply. Consequently, face wash lathers when you apply this to a damp skin. Most of the formulation are best for oily skin
Face Cleanser: A face cleanser mainly purifies and soothes the skin. They are usually formulated to be gel-like, milky or watery. Unlike face wash, they do not lather into a foam. These cleansers are best suited for dry skin.
The word face wash and face cleanser are used interchangeably these days.
Facial cleaning guide
Start by washing your hands. It is best to then wet your face with lukewarm water. Then apply the face cleanser evenly to your face and neck. Using your fingertips or cleansing brush, massage the cleanser in the skin, in a circular motion.
Double washing is important to make sure all debris are removed. Both face cleanser and face wash can be incorporated into your daily routine. Face cleanser should be used first; to remove all debris on the skin surface. This is then followed by face wash to clean deep down in the pores. Each session of cleaning should last for one minute. At SS&TT, we recommend you record the time taken to sing a favourite song; then do this as you wash your face. You may remember the theme song to “fresh prince of Bel air” This takes one minute and moves you closer to acheiving a glowing complexion. Rinse thoroughly and repeat the process.
It is best to clean your face every morning to remove oil and sweat from sleep; and in the evening to remove daily makeup and dirt. It is also importatnt that you cleanse your skin immediately after you exercise.
Fingertips Vs Brush: Face cleaning devices are great tools to incorportate into your skin care routine. Brushes may be manual or electrical. When used properly, they offer additional benefit to skin cleaning. They stimulate circulation and improves lymphatic drainage. To introduce cleaning brush, it is better to start twice weekly; increasing to up to 4 times weekly. With electric brush, you do not need to apply pressure during use; all you need to do is move the brush all over your face and then rinse brush adequately.
