Proper facial skincare is crucial. Discover why and learn how improper care can negatively impact your skin.

The Importance of Facial Cleansing
Every day, your skin is exposed to makeup residue, bacteria from your hands, sweat, dust, exhaust fumes, and other pollutants. These impurities can settle on your skin and deteriorate its condition. Thus, thorough facial cleansing is essential to remove these contaminants and maintain healthy skin.

Effective skin cleansing is a routine process that should be done at least twice daily using products suited to your skin type. Below is a step-by-step plan to make your facial cleansing easy, enjoyable, and effective.

Step 1: Removing Makeup and Impurities
Start by removing makeup and washing away impurities from your skin. You can choose from makeup removal oils, milks, or micellar waters. The key is to select products suitable for your skin type and the type of makeup you use. For waterproof makeup, opt for oil-based products, especially if you don’t have oily skin. Milk cleansers are versatile for both light and heavy makeup, while micellar water is also a popular choice. Follow this with a creamy cleansing gel to eliminate any remaining makeup, dust, or other impurities.

Step 2: Moisturizing with a Light Lotion
After cleansing, the next step is pre-moisturizing your skin. A light lotion with a water-like consistency is ideal. It will hydrate and nourish your skin, preparing it for subsequent skincare products. Apply the lotion to your palm and gently pat it into your face and neck.

Step 3: Locking in Moisture
The third step involves deep moisturizing with a serum. Serums are highly concentrated and help retain moisture in your skin for hours. Choose a water-based serum for both day and night use, particularly effective for tired, sensitive skin showing the first signs of aging.

Step 4: Comprehensive Care
Next, apply a moisturizing cream both morning and night. Opt for a product that hydrates and smooths your skin, like a day and night cream suitable for all skin types. This will leave your skin soft, radiant, and refreshed.

Additional Step: Mask
Incorporate a mask into your routine as an additional step. Choose sheet masks soaked in hydrating ingredients. Apply the mask to cleansed skin, leave it on for about 15 minutes to allow the active ingredients to penetrate, then remove and gently pat in the excess product. Use masks up to three times a week as part of the Japanese skincare ritual.
