I hope for many of my readers the information below will be familiar, but if not, I will tell you about the correct cleansing of the skin and removal of makeup.
Regularly you have to hear that cosmetics harm skin, clogs pores and so on and so on. All this is absolute nonsense, good quality cosmetics no harm to the skin does not cause, but spoils her wrong care. Or its complete absence, which is also not uncommon.
How to wash Light Makeup (powder, mascara, eyebrow pencil):
1) wipe your eyes and face with a cotton disk, moistened with micellar water
I recommend that it, the TC it removes cosmetics better than many lotions for demacia. Does not irritate sensitive skin, not pinch
2) Solve the face with water to wash off micellar water.
It must be flush, whatever they write on the package.
3) Apply to the face of milk for removing makeup / washout, massage the skin, remove your cotton disc.
Milk with water or not, look at the packaging, some can be left on the skin as care.
4) If we wash off, wipe your face with tonic and apply the usual care. Depending on the age and skin problems, it may be serum + cream or just cream / moisturizing gel.
Removal Waterproof / Heavy Makeup:
1) Remove the main mass of cosmetics to the removal of waterproof makeup
2) Without a washing face, hydrophilic oil is applied on dry skin (for eyelids too). It instantly dissolves any dirt and fat in the pores. Wash
3) Wash your face with a suitable type of skin to the means, avoiding the area around the eyes:
For fat / combined gel for washing
Normal any
Dry / sensitive soft foam or milk
4) Tonic
Toning lotion exfoliates oroging particles of epidermis and promotes better penetration of leaving for skin
5) Serum
Concentrate of active ingredients to solve problems if they are
6) Cream
"Locks" serum in the skin, not allowing it to evaporate from the surface.
This is enough for the skin to be clean and at the same time moistened. Miss any of the steps and get scored pores in black points (because in the city it is lipped not only cosmetics, but also street dirt) or a riser skin.
No soap! It too aggressively dissolves the protective lipid film on the surface of the skin, overpowing it and accelerating the aging.
Strong scrubs leave for the body, for no reason to injure the gentle skin of the face.
Brushes can be used no more than once a week and only on fat / normal skin without damage. Masseling the face is needed as gentle as much as possible and not long.
In the summer it is better to switch to lightweight formulas on a water basis, and even better to moisturizing gels, for example, with hyaluronic acid. They do not create a bold film on the surface of the skin and do not provoke acne, allow the skin to breathe in the heat. In winter, they may not be enough, and it will take a thick nutrient cream to protect against frost.
No brushes, sponges and gels for washes are not used on the skin around the eyes!
Alcohol tonics should be avoided, they annoy and cut the skin. Tonic with castor oil is recognized as comedogenic.
Alas, universal funds suitable for everyone, so read reviews, try and write in the comments about your favorite products. All summer and beauty!
