The Cleansing

The skin is an organ that lives and breathes, and is the first and most obvious sign of a proper cleaning personal. If you use a cleanser that does not like your skin, immediately feel the pull it and your complexion will become shiny or even gray. That's why in fact the classic soap and water are not suitable. The regular soap (what you use for the hands) has a pH different from that of face and neck (5.5), then it can alter the skin's defenses and damage, making it dry, oily and more prone to blemishes and irritation. Cleaners formulated specifically for facial skin are much better and, thanks to the wide choice in the market will not be a problem finding one that will help you feel really clean. The type of skin is an important factor in the choice of detergent, but they are also important personal preference: if you feel good on your skin, for sure will satisfy your needs.


Different ingredients, producing benefits of different skins. When you purchase a cleanser, look for these terms on the label:

Dry Skin: Search the milk proteins, which retain water and keep the skin hydrated.
Sensitive Skin: Search chamomile, which has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Oily Skin: Look for the witch hazel, known for its astringent properties and can make the skin less oily.
Normal Skin: Look for the sweet almond oil, which removes dirt and moisturizes your face gently.
Mixed Skin: Use products with witch hazel in the T-zone and products for dry, normal or sensitive to other parts.


You can remove the cleanser with ...
A muslin cloth, a soft fabric that gently removes makeup and dirt, leaving the skin fresh and clean. More hygienic and effective of flannel, where dirt and bacteria can hide.
Of discs of cotton wool, the classical way. They work best when wet, because the dry wadding may leave lint. The organic wadding is better and worth it to pay a bit more (does not contain chemicals that may be harmful to the skin).
