FACIAL CLEANSING ALL ASPECTS OF THE PERFECT DOUBLE CLEANSING
Experts agree that the best tool to keep your skin clean at home is double facial cleansing, the first of the 4 facial treatments that we should do at home. “But be careful, the expression does not mean that you have to clean your skin twice a day (that too), nor that you have to repeat the steps to really remove the dirt. Double facial cleansing is basically using two types of products to cleanse ourselves. One, cleansing milk, to remove oil-soluble dirt that is only washed away with oil bases – makeup or sunscreen – and another cleanser for water-soluble impurities – dust particles and dead cells – that disappear with the help of a soothing tonic.”It is proven that the basis of strong and beautiful looking skin is thanks to consistency in the hygiene routine (daily and weekly) and sun protection for the face.”
Who needs double facial cleansing?
It may seem that drier or more sensitive skin does not need double cleansing, relating it to an overly abrasive effect on their skin. “It is recommended to do so on all skin types, as long as you look for the appropriate textures for the type of skin and taking taking into account factors such as age, what your daily life is like, what other products you use – such as makeup –, whether you spend many hours outdoors or, on the contrary, in closed places with hardly any ventilation, the time of year, the climate or pollution levels.” Therefore, although double cleansing is suitable for everyone, the essential thing is to find the right cosmetics for it, which is why it emphasizes how important it is to put yourself in the hands of specialists to build a personalized routine.
The first phase
The first phase
We said that each person must adapt cosmetics to their skin type, but the truth is that there are a class of cleansers more suitable for the first phase and others for the second. In the initial step, the expert points out that “a product with an oily texture is needed, ideal for gently removing the residue that we accumulate during the day such as makeup, excess sebum and sun protection filters.” Although oils can scare people with combination or oily skin, the truth is that they will not cause any problems for them if they choose the right one. Let us remember that it is important to follow this recommendation and not use another texture because “oil-based ones, unlike a foaming cleanser or micellar water, are able to penetrate the pore better and eliminate the dirt that it usually stores. In addition, they soften the upper layers of skin where dead cells accumulate, so they will help with constant and ultra-soft renewal without the skin suffering in the slightest."
The second phase
The second phase
After using the oily texture cleanser, comes the second part, “a product with a watery texture, such as micellar water, gel or a soft mousse. With this step, we make sure to remove all non-fat-based impurities, which would be the contaminating particles and dead cells accumulated during the day.” On the other hand, this step will help us "regulate excess oil in the skin and, depending on the product we use, it may have an astringent action, depending on its cleansing agents and its pH."
A third phase
A third phase
To the double cleansing, the expert adds a third step that she also considers very important: the tonic. Although these types of products are not rinsed off like the previous ones, but are left to act on the skin, they are also important purifying elements, since "their function is moisturizing, balancing, and they help close the pore and leave the skin ready for absorption." of treatment.”
