Korean Beauty Tips: Are you Cleansing Your Face Properly?

Cleansing is essential in our daily skincare routine. It is as important as drinking water everyday to keep our body healthy and away from toxins, the same way goes for cleansing our face. Sometimes, people neglect cleansing of their face simply because they don’t know how to start. Our face is getting a lot of dirt throughout the day when our skin is exposed on pollution, oils, and makeup. To achieve a clean face, we need to learn how to clean our face properly.

 

 

First, you need to identify your skin type, normal, dry, combination, oily or sensitive. This will make it easier for you to choose the proper product that caters your skin type’s problems.  Here are the proper cleansing routines that all of us should remember and follow.

 

 

Important Daily Face Cleansing Routine

 

 

A.    Normal cleansing

 

This is a everyday cleansing routine in removing the dirt and impurities on your face by using cleansing products such as cleansing foam or cleansing milk.

 

 

 

 

B.    Double cleansing

 

This cleansing routine is recommended for people who wear heavy makeup or if you want to really deep cleanse your skin. Double cleansing means using makeup remover before using normal cleansing product, this helps to deeply remove every makeup residue on your face. I would recommend to use cleaning oil as makeup remover such as coconut oil, olive oil, etc. and then proceed to clean your face with your favorite facial foam. Cleansing oil not only thoroughly cleans your face but also provide good moisture on your face.
