Cleansing skin: Why is it so important?

The first and very important step in the care of our skin is its cleansing.
It is necessary to realize that only clean skin = healthy skin.
It's like removing dirt from anything – you try to clean in a way that you are as satisfied with the result as possible. Take, for example, windows – we sometimes wash them for an hour, first from dirt and then polish them until they are completely transparent.
The same goes for our skin – it is crucial to start by removing dirt from its surface that has accumulated during the day. Subsequently, we need so-called dotonization, which is still a part of the process of cleaning and subsequent pH adjustment, which was disrupted by this cleaning or "scrubbing".
The most important part of cleansing is choosing the right product for your skin type. It is very important that we don't "scrub" our skin unnecessarily, but only gently remove the dirt from its surface.
So, let's take this step by step:

1. Make-up removal
It is necessary to use a quality eye and lip make-up remover – that is, quality make-up remover as such. It can also be a two-phase remover, i.e., with an oily component to dissolve waterproof makeup. If you use ordinary mascara, feel free to reach for cleansing water or make-up remover with any base. However, if you have applied waterproof mascara, you cannot remove it that easily, but you will need an oil-based make-up remover.

2. Dirt removal
That sounds very simple - I'm just washing my face. But that is far from the truth ... Simple pure water is very pleasant and refreshing, but at the same time, even though it's water – it is drying for our skin. Therefore, it's essential to add a suitable product to our cleansing routine, so that we do not dehydrate our skin. The product should be based on determination of our skin type.
Let's introduce the skin types a bit more:

Normal to dry skin:
- cleansing milk, cleansing cream – they bind all the impurities that have been accumulated throughout the day, they moisturize dry skin without the need for cleaning with water, so the skin does not suffer from unnecessary dryness.
- cleansing water without alcohol – also excellent, for example, for morning cleansing after sleep, but also suitable for evening skin cleansing

Combined and oily skin:
- cleansing foam, cleansing gel – with the addition of a small amount of water beautifully dissolves impurities and also eliminates excess skin sebum. For this skin type, it is important to do this cleansing ritual both in the morning and in the evening. We have to realize that even during the night the skin gets dirty, sweaty, and oily, and with this type of skin, if we do not clean it properly, our pores will start to clog. But ATTENTION! There is no need to exaggerate – just remove dirt with a really gentle massage.
- cleansing water with alcohol – it is recommended to clean combined or oily skin with water and with a small amount of alcohol for perfect disinfection. Also, you need to follow the rule that sometimes less is more and do not overdo it with excessive scrubbing or drying.

It's only up to the right choice – the most important thing to really consider is your skin type.
Then include morning and evening cleansing in your daily care, after which it is appropriate to cleanse the skin with toning water. These processes are necessary if we want to have healthy and beautiful skin.
They must become our daily routine.
Only well-cleansed skin is ready for the absorption of subsequent skin care in the form of either cream, essence or emulsion.
