Tips for a good skin care 1. CLEANING The skin protects us from external influences and forms a barrier against viruses, bacteria and dirt. A good skin condition, is therefore of great importance. Cleaning is perhaps the most important part of your skin care routine. A good cleansing can rid the skin of dead cells, dirt, makeup residue and bacteria allowing the skin to breathe freely. It is best to clean your skin twice a day, no more and no less. There are several products available for cleansing of the skin. Which product is the best depends on the skin type. A cleansing milk and cleansing cream: these products are suitable for cleaning normal to dry skin. Cleansing gels: These products are often used for the cleaning of a combined, oily or in the case of acne problems. Lotion (tonic): A type of product that is used less often. The lotion/tonic has the cleaning power to remove all traces of cleanser and also the harmful substances that are present in tap water (Calcium, chlorides, rust). A good lotion also contains substances that soothe protect and moisturize the skin. With a good lotion you can optimize the pH value of your skin making the skin products more efficient. The skin should be cleansed twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. At night you need a more intensive cleaning, make up, dirt from the air and dead skin cells will be removed. Between 23:00 and 03:00, your skin is very active to repair the damage that it has suffered during the day. Also, the skin itself excretes waste and oily substances during the night. Cleaning the skin with only water is therefore not sufficient. The waste and the fat on the skin do not dissolve in water and will therefore not be removed by water. Water merely refreshes your skin. Also, water can dehydrate your skin. In conclusion, it is important to use morning and evening cleansing products that best suit your skin type every day.
