1. Unsuitable soap composition
Ordinary soap most often contains dyes and aggressive surfactants (surfactants). They irritate the skin and negatively affect its quality. But the face requires a special, more delicate cleansing than our hands and body. Therefore, cosmetologists recommend choosing a product that is right for you: mousse, foam, gel, cream or oil. These products contain special active ingredients that not only thoroughly cleanse, but also cope with the needs of your skin type.
2. Violation of the acid-base and hydrolipid balance of the skin
Soap is made through a chemical reaction between fat and alkali. That is why it disrupts the acid-base balance of the facial skin. And its required level is an important element of protection against aggressive external factors. In addition, soap thinns the stratum corneum of the skin, which helps to retain moisture in the body. Thus, the hydrolipid film is destroyed. This process also affects the appearance and provokes the appearance of wrinkles.
3. Excessive cleansing
Some people like to cleanse the skin until it “squeaks”. But in fact, you can’t do that. Soap damages the barrier layer of the skin and makes it especially sensitive to external factors. The same happens when you use mechanical brushes more than 2 times a week: the lipid (protective) layer of the skin does not have time to regenerate, and as a result, you get irritation, peeling and inflammation. Remember that high-quality cleansing with the help of special suitable products is the key to the health and beauty of your skin. Only after this important stage, the subsequent products (serum and cream) will be well absorbed and have the desired effect.
4. Uncomfortable sensations
Also, due to the lack of caring and moisturizing components in the soap, after washing with this product, your skin will experience uncomfortable sensations – dryness and tightness. These are the consequences of violations of the hydrolipid and acid-base balance. Avoid dehydration to keep your skin youthful for years to come.
Julia Angel’s Top Favorite Facial Cleansing Products
– I always cleanse my face in the morning and in the evening in several stages. This multi-step approach helps to completely remove make-up, sebum residues and pollution from the environment.
In the evening for make-up remover I use Enhel Beauty gel… Japanese scientists in our laboratory have developed a special formula for it: the fullerene in the composition of the product provides powerful protection against inflammatory processes, has an antioxidant effect and, moreover, does not violate the pH level. After the gel, I always apply foam mousse Enhel Beauty: it gently cleanses the skin of remaining impurities, tightens pores, evens out skin tone and fights pigmentation. Then you can safely proceed to the toning stage using Enhel Beauty tonic lotion to restore the hydrolipidic balance of the skin.
About 1-2 times a week, I do my home treatment for deep cleansing through scrub-scrub Enhel Beauty… It is created on the basis of thermal water with the addition of peach seeds, collagen and apple stem cell extract. In just 3 minutes, you can exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores and give your face a natural glow. By the way, this product is suitable even for sensitive skin.
In the morning for cleansing I have enough foam, peeling gel and Enhel Beauty tonic lotion. After the procedure, the skin becomes clean, smooth and prepared for further care and make-up.
