Any self-respecting beauty routine takes time, patience (we cannot expect results from one day to the next), knowing our skin and its needs and, yes, also good products (not expensive, things as they are). Of course, if there is a key step, it is where everything begins, that is facial cleansing.
However, beyond simply washing our faces, a habit that makes a difference is doing the so-called double cleansing that many of you are surely familiar with and that if you have tried, you know that it is a before and after.
What is it and what are the benefits of double cleaning?
The origins of this can be found in Korean cosmetics and they consider it one of the most important steps in the routine.
of beauty and consisting of remove makeup, impurities and sebum that accumulates on the skin during the day is essential to apply the
following steps of the routine on perfectly cleansed skin.
Includes two different cleaning products: one in texture oil or cleansing milk, focused on removing makeup, sunscreen, creams and that dirt that remains on the skin, to move on to a second foam or gel product that ensures that no trace of dirt remains and that it is rinsed with water.
Elisabeth Alvarezdirector of the INOUT Center for Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, comments that, contrary to what one might think, not only does it not dry out the skin, but it ensures that it is completely clean and ready to receive nutrients and regenerate at night, so that moisturizing assets, like the rest, will also penetrate better.
It is a step that we should do even when we don’t wear makeup since during the day we sweat, so there are toxins, and oil is also generated on the skin, since the sebaceous glands are working and are sensitive to changes in temperature. In addition, the skin is renewed, and that means that we need to eliminate dead cells.
As benefits, in addition to those that we have already indicated, we have to know that by doing a thorough cleaning we make sure that our skin can be properly repaired and restored overnight, which translates into healthier, smoother and more luminous skin. Come on, they are nothing more than advantages and, without a doubt, it makes the most absolute difference in our steps to achieve beautiful, well-cared for and healthy skin.
