Step-by-Step Guide to Deep Cleaning Your Skin
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to deep clean your skin, incorporating gentle and effective techniques:
-
Remove Makeup:
- Begin by thoroughly removing all traces of makeup.
- Makeup remover pads, an oil cleanser, or a cleansing balm are excellent choices for this step. These options help dissolve makeup without excessive rubbing, preparing your skin for a deeper cleanse.
- Example: Use a cotton pad soaked in micellar water to gently wipe away makeup. For waterproof makeup, opt for an oil-based cleanser.
-
Gentle Cleansing:
-
Follow up with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser.
-
Avoid harsh scrubs or cleansers with micro-beads, as these can cause irritation and damage.
-
Abrasive cleansers that contain micro-beads or other physical exfoliants are too harsh for facial skin, potentially creating small tears and enlarged pores. Go gentle instead.
-
Instead, opt for a cleanser suited to your skin type.
