Your Correct Skincare Routine
Cleansing

What cleansing products should we choose?
The variety of cleansers on the market is wide, and it can become a tough choice. What must be remembered is that the cleanser is chosen:
Depending on the skin (normal, mixed, sensitive, etc.), it is advisable to carefully read the prospectus to identify your skin type for which cleansing product it’s addressed.
Preferences that we have for one type or another formulation: milk, cream, cleansing water, etc.
For people with oily skin, it is recommended that you use Purifying Foaming Gel.
For the delicate skin around the eye, exclusive products are recommended, namely, water remover or cleanser, especially for that.
Toner plays an essential role in skin hydration, giving skin a pleasant feeling of softness. Toner complements the action cleanser, removing remnants of makeup, impurities, and dead cells, purifying the skin.
People with dry skin should avoid astringent lotions that contain alcohol and dry skin. They should opt for a moisturizing lotion. For oily skin lotions indicated that control excess sebum and moisturizes at the same time. For middle-aged ladies are recommended lotions that act as a cream that helps to reduce wrinkles, helping to increase skin hydration and protecting against free radicals in the atmosphere.
Exfoliating/Peeling
There are several methods of removing dead cells: mechanical, chemical, and enzymatic.
Mechanical peeling appears as granules embedded in products. Through a light massage, it cleans the skin of dead cells and fine wrinkles or marks from acne, stimulates blood circulation, speeding the reproductive process of cell function the basal layer, and prevents the formation of cellulite.
Enzymatic peeling. This type of peeling makes use of natural ingredients (enzymes). It is a gentle process, but the results are immediately visible. In contact with skin, it activates enzymes which “digest” dead cells from the skin surface. It is a less aggressive treatment, suitable for most skin types—his target changes in pigmentation, acne, and wrinkles.
Chemical peeling, also known as derma-peels, are techniques used to improve skin appearance. Treatment consists of applying a solution of dilute acid on the skin that produces controlled dissolution of its superficial, followed by exfoliation and regeneration of new skin, which is smoother, with a more delicate texture and less visible imperfections. Depending on the results pursued, peelings can be made of different depths, using solutions of different concentrations or different duration of application.
This is done only in specialized clinics and under the guidance of a dermatologist. It determines whether such treatment is appropriate for the problem that we have and the peeling that is most effective for each case.
Hydration
Inadequate hydration of the skin cause changes in its structure. The skin contains 70% water, so the water is two-thirds of his body weight. It is particularly crucial for physical and chemical processes occurring in the body, giving tonicity and skin elasticity.
A healthy skin moisturized is soft, while dehydrated, dry skin, and cause wrinkling. Skin hydration is essential both for an aesthetic and healthy body.
Factors leading to skin dehydration:
• Interns: an unbalanced diet, excessive consumption of drugs and disorders of the adrenal or thyroid;
• pollution or extreme heat, sun, cold, and wind.
Choosing products necessary for hydration is based on skin type, its characteristics, and preferably implemented.
