Don’t let endless advises and overloads of products confuse you and find yourself with unnecessary breakouts!

Let’s make is simple and clear – this post is all you need to have a really clean skin.

Doing it the right way could make the difference between beaming skin and an acne breakout.

Many believe that you need to only wash your face to remove makeup or when it looks dirty. In actuality, it’s recommended you wash your face twice daily, however, the amount of times you wash your face may be less important than how the job is done.

No matter your skin type, texture, or current condition, Haley stresses that a nighttime cleansing routine is especially important.

Removing makeup, dirt, and grime from the day will help prepare the skin for your skin care regimen, as well as support the skin in its overnight regeneration and renewal processes.

Ready for a clean skin?

1. Properly remove all your makeup first

Use a gentle makeup remover to get the job done before you start actually cleansing, especially before bed.

Pores are used to [purging] out toxins overnight and if they’re clogged, everything will be backed up and look congested, so you always want to ask yourself – is it clogging or detoxify?…

This applies to all skin types, even if you’ve got quite the resilient outer layer.

2. Don’t use harsh bar soap to clean your face

Facial cleansers, especially natural cleansers , are made for delicate skin.

There’s a tendency for people to look for ‘foaming’ ones, because they think if it doesn’t foam it’s not cleansing. But foaming can actually strip your skin of more natural oils. Use a gentle, soap free one, the won’t dry or irritate your skin , such as this one for normal to dry skin, or the acne cleanser for acne prone skin.

3. Use lukewarm water

Too hot Water temperature can cause irritation and a cold one is great but only after complete cleansing because it won’t remove dirt, so it’s best to stick to a middle ground. You don’t want to see flushed skin when you check your reflection.

You may also be wondering, “Can I wash my face with just water?” According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it’s best to use a gentle cleanser.

What does a cleanser do for your face? It can help rid the skin of dirt, debris, and oil.

4. Exfoliate, but don’t overdo it

Use a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells once to twice a week, softly massage your skin in circular movements and wash.

here are some great DIY recipes for you:

While using a scrub or cleanser with beads might feel soft on day one, scrubbing too hard or using these products daily can damage the outer layer of skin.

One sign of over-exfoliation is skin hypersensitivity. This can cause irritation, breakouts, and even a stinging feeling when you apply products.

5. Skip unnecessary tools

Avoid sponges unless you are meticulous about constantly cleaning them every day.

If you don’t clean the tools, simply using your hands as tools. (assuming your hands are clean:)

6. Remember your neck and jaw

Your jawline and neck are prone to dirt and debris buildup. And they need love, too.

When giving your face a cleansing massage, gentle rub your fingers in an upward motion to get the circulation going and encourage your skin to stay tight and naturally lifted.

7.Pat dry with a soft towel

Remember to pat gently with a soft towel, being extremely cautious around the sensitive under-eye area. Do not rub the skin to avoid irritations.

8.Don’t wash your face too often

Do not over wash it, twice a day is enough. those with dry skin should especially consider cutting back on washes.

9.Finish with a (natural) toner

Although not technically a step in face washing, many often miss the importance of what comes after: rebalancing your skin.

Toners are light, liquid formulas originally used to reset your skin’s pH, so it can protect itself from bacteria and harm. You want to avoid ones with alcohol or chemicals and turn to the natural, refreshing natural ones that are based of flowers water, such as this one.

10. Remember to moisturize

After cleaning, your skin needs hydration and moisturizing. pick up your favourite moisturizer and massage it on your face.

Cleansers to avoid

  • bar soaps
  • perfumed or dyed
  • harsh, foaming cleansers
  • daily exfoliating cleansers

All this easy routine is your home routine, it doesn’t replace a regular facial if you really want to have that clear, glowing skin. I am welcoming you at Pure Salon to experience the full beauty and joy time!
