Cleansing
creams are used
not only to
lift the dust,
but also to
remove stale
make-up dirt
and bacteria
all collect
on your skin
and must be
removed completely.
Make-up has
a waxy base
which cannot
be properly
penetrated and
cleansed simply
by using soap
and water. A
cleansing cream
or lotion is
essential for
this.
Cleanser
should be applied
with an upward
movement and
kept on the
skin for about
half a minute,
so that it could
dissolve the
make-up. Then
remove with
a tissue or
damp cotton
wool. Remember,
stale make-up
and the day's
dirt and grime
not only clog
the pores of
the skin causing
blackheads,
but also eventually
coarsen the
skin.
The
first step in
make-up is cleansing.
Soap and water
removes most
of 'the impurities
but it does
not remove make-up
completely,
hence cleansing
is required.
Foundations
and powders
are designed
to remain on
the skin as
long as possible.
If you wear
make-up during
the day, the
first step in
cleansing your
skin at night
should be with
a cleanser of
some kind cleansing
cream, lotion,
milk or just
plain cold cream.
The cleanser
must be massaged
into the skin
with a light
upward and outward
movement, paying
particular attention
to the creases
of the nose,
under chin area,
neck and ear
lobes.
Cleansing
is the first
essential step
in your daily
skin care routine.
Cleansing the
face 4-5 times
a day, is adequate
for normal skin.
If your skin
is oily a more
frequent cleansing
i.e. 5-7 times
a day is necessary.
If your skin
is dry it is
best to avoid
frequent washing
and you may
have to use
a suitable oil-based
cosmetic cleanser
instead of soap,
which has a
dry effect.
There are several
alternatives
to soap and
water cleansing.
All are, a mixture
of oil, wax
and water
which have been
formulated to
suit different
skin types.
The skin should
not be stretched,
dragged or pulled.
Leave the cleanser
on for a minute
or two so as
to loosen the
dirt and make
up.
Cleansing
skin care is
perhaps one
of the most
important things
we can do to
help keep our
skin looking
healthy and
beautiful. Cleansing
and moisturizing
skin will remove
old make-up
and the grime
and grease that
have been accumulated
during the day.
Cleansing is
particularly
important for
people with
oily skin, who
have excess
oil on their
face which attracts
dirt and debris.
