Cleansing
In order to make the skin healthier and more beautiful, and to make the skin absorb the essence smoothly when introducing the care products, the first step of skin care is to clean the dirt covering the skin completely. Due to the different characteristics of the skin on different parts of the body, a variety of cleansing products have been developed, including soap-based cleansers (soaps, beauty soaps, etc.), liquid cleansers (cleansing lotions, foams, etc.), as well as facial cleansers, makeup removers, cleansing creams, scrubs, etc.
The modern environmental dirt and dust is increasing, personal skin management is the priority of cleaning and maintenance, only the skin is perfectly clean, the follow-up caring steps can be in place. In general, environmental dirt is mainly divided into fat-soluble and water-soluble dirt, general water washing can only clean water-soluble dirt, fat-soluble dirt also needs cleaning products to carry away the dirt smoothly. There are different skin cleansing strategies for different body parts, such as face, hands, body, hair, etc.
Face Cleansing (Facial Cleanser, Toner)
In order to make the best use of facial cleansing, it is recommended to pay attention to the cleansing power in the morning and evening. In the morning, there is usually not much oil on the face, so it is recommended to choose a milder cleansing product to cleanse, but at night, the skin has already absorbed the day's dirt and oil, so it is recommended to choose a stronger but non-irritating cleansing product to cleanse deeply.
Face Cleaning with 3 Techniques
- Facial Cleansing Step 1: Hot Towel
Before washing your face, it is recommended to apply a hot towel for 5-10 minutes to stretch out the pores of your face and prepare your skin for subsequent cleansing. - Facial Cleansing Step 2: First & Second Cleansing
After the warm-up, apply an appropriate amount of cleanser and scrub until it lathers, then carefully spread the foam all over the face, starting from the areas with more sebum. After the first cleansing, the skin will enter a relatively fragile state of dehydration, so it is necessary to use toner for the second cleansing, dip a cotton pad into the toner and wipe the face with gentle pressure to complete the cleansing step. - Face Cleansing Step 3: Deep Cleaning
If you have a lot of dirt and oil on your face, you can use exfoliators and blackhead removers for deep cleansing. However, it is worth noting that exfoliation is a more stimulating skin care treatment and is generally suitable for non-sensitive skin and skin with a high oil secretion. If you have dry or sensitive skin, it is recommended that you avoid or consult a professional if you have a thin cuticle.
Hand Cleansing (Hand Wash)
Hand sanitation is very important for personal hygiene. Hand sanitizer or soap carries away germs and dirt attached to hands through physical friction and surface-active agent. However, when cleaning hands, it is also easy to take away the oils that protect the skin of hands, making the skin of hands fragile and dry. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing a hand wash, in addition to examining the antibacterial ingredients and cleaning effect, you can choose a hand wash that is gentle on the skin and does not hurt your hands.
Head Cleaning (Shampoo)
In daily life, washing hair is a daily body cleansing step, in general, head cleansing is mainly divided into scalp cleansing and hair cleansing. Scalp cleaning refers to cleaning the dirt on the skin of the head, unlike the hair, the scalp is a living skin tissue, connected to the face skin, so it needs to be cleaned and maintained as well as the skin, and the sebum secreted by the scalp, in addition to preventing moisture from evaporating outside and damaging the skin, can also form a natural barrier with other symbiotic bacteria to resist the invasion of foreign germs. On the other hand, hair cleaning is a dead body tissue, is composed of keratin, from the outside to the inside is divided into epidermis (cuticle), cortex and medulla, when cleaning the hair, mainly for the epidermis of the hair to do the cleaning, the main function of the epidermis of the hair is to protect the hair internal, resistance to external stimuli. The reason for oily hair is mainly caused by the adsorption of the oil secreted by the scalp, so the further away from the scalp, the less oily the situation will be.
Therefore, in order to clean the head well and reduce dandruff, inflammation, itchy scalp, dryness and other problems, the focus can be placed on moderate scalp cleaning care, while if you want to present smooth and shiny hair, the focus should be placed on hair cleaning, care and repair.
Body Cleansing (Body Wash)
Body cleansing or bathing as most people call it, is a ritual for modern people to heal their bodies and minds. Although bathing may seem simple, there are details and steps that must be paid attention to in order to achieve a good balance between skin cleansing and skin care treatments. The sequence of body cleansing steps is recommended to be done from top to bottom, starting with the face, limbs, then the back, chest, thighs, knees, soles of the feet, and finally the head. Some people will be curious as to why the hair should be washed last. That is because after the body takes off its clothes, it needs time to give the body time to adapt to the temperature so that the blood vessels in the body do not contract violently all of a sudden due to the temperature difference, and also remember to clean the body of body lotion, soap and other detergents to avoid causing dry skin.
