5 Tips for Optimizing Your Face Cleansing Routine

For a complexion that looks clear and glowing, proper cleansing is worth the minimal effort it takes. Cleansing removes dirt, makeup, dead skin cells, excess oil, and any other impurities that may be resting on your skin. How you go about cleansing may make all the difference between a radiant-looking complexion and dull-looking skin. Here are some helpful “dos” and “don’ts” of cleansing to think about the next time you wash your face.

DO Remove All Your Makeup

Even though it happens on occasion, most of us know it’s a big no-no to go to bed with makeup on, because it can clog pores and irritate eyes. Your skin needs to be able to breathe while you sleep, otherwise you may experience breakouts and your skin may look dull over time. Use a gentle makeup remover that’s appropriate for all skin types. An oil- and water-based formula can effectively remove waterproof makeup and long-wearing formulas. Your skin should feel hydrated and soft, not stripped after use. Look for hydrating and vitamin-rich ingredients like rosehip oil and skin-softening pastel rose oil.

DON’T Scrub Your Skin

A high-quality makeup remover, and face wash for that matter, won’t require any scrubbing on the face. With a few swipes of a cotton pad, you should be able to effortlessly wipe away even the most stubborn eye makeup. Tugging on the delicate under-eye skin can cause damage and irritation, so take your time in removing your makeup, taking extra care on sensitive areas of the face.

DO Try Micellar Water

After removing your makeup, consider following up with an effective micellar water from a French makeup and skincare brand that formulates high-performance products. Cleansing your skin at this level will leave it detoxed and renewed. Seek out a micellar water with hydrating and regenerating rose extracts to help leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed—not dried out. With the right product, your skin should look visibly fresh and luminous and feel supple and comfortable, not tight, after use.

DON’T Forget Your Neck and Jawline

We often neglect the neck and jawline because we’re so focused on the perfect face routine. Your neck is exposed to everything your face is and more, including environmental stressors, makeup, hair products, and perfume. Be sure to take the time while cleansing to focus on these areas as they are also prone to dirt buildup.

DO Finish with a Toner

After cleansing, toning is a vital step you don’t want to miss. It can help rebalance your skin while fully hydrating it. You may notice the appearance of smaller pores and a radiant-looking complexion after using a toner. Next, your skin is ready for the lovely serum or moisturizer you plan to apply to your cleansed skin. A beautiful toner is light, such as a hydrating rosewater toner. Luxury makeup brands offer some of the best rosewater toners on the market.

Some other tips include using warm water instead of hot or cold water, don’t over wash your face, don’t use bar soap or harsh cleansers, get enough sleep every night, don’t forget sunscreen, and don’t pick at your skin. The key to healthy skin is fairly straightforward if we’re paying attention to our daily habits.
