Facial cleansing: a daily routine

I am often asked what is the purpose of facial cleansing.
The face is the first impact on the outside world. It is the business card in professional and private relationships, it also contains very delicate areas such as eyes, neck, nose, ears.
Often we do not take care of him, running for cover only at important events or gala evenings.

Daily facial care is an act of love that we can practice easily, in a professional way, starting with cleansing.

Why is it important to cleanse your face?

Our body's skin is completely renewed every 30 days; however, we accumulate toxic residues on our face every day. Since the skin is comparable to a sponge, the natural hydrolipidic film absorbs smog, traces of make-up combined with various layers of dead cells.

Because of these residues, the skin is neglected and tends to weaken, appearing dull and opaque.

The face can become dry and red: to all this we must add the signs of aging, wrinkles, blackheads, pimples and spots.

While we wait for the fountain of eternal youth we must take care of ourselves. Let's always keep in mind that the skin is the largest organ in our body.

The skin is alive and needs to be constantly nourished and hydrated, reducing imperfections and impurities. A few tricks are enough to take care of our face, daily gestures that heal our skin. There are two types of facial cleansing: the first is daily, a loving gesture to be done every day.

The second one, which we will tackle today, is a type of deep cleansing that will explain to you what facial cleansing is for. You can do it in the tranquility of your home, without having to use special equipment, once a week. In case of acute laziness, it will also be good twice a month. Without the need for a beautician.

With the money you save, you can treat yourself to a dinner with your friends or a night at the disco. Much more fun, don't you think?

Let's analyze the five fundamental steps to enhance this experience dedicated to our well-being:

  1. Opening the pores

What is facial cleansing for: opening the pores

Let's prepare our face for deep cleansing.

Facial skin is made up of many pores. Fundamental to the thermoregulation system, they help perspiration through the release of sweat, but they can become inflamed, dilated or occluded.

To properly open the pores, you need to do a facial sauna.

What you need:

√ Favorite saucepan

√ 2 teaspoons of baking soda

√ Hot water

√ Stove (gas, electric or induction)

√ Towel

√ Trivet

After being there remove your make-up go to the kitchen, choose your favorite saucepan and fill it with water. Boil it for about half an hour: when it reaches boiling instead of throwing the pasta, add two teaspoons of baking soda.

Find a comfortable surface (such as the kitchen table) and place a trivet made of iron, cast iron, silicone or wood. We certainly don't want heat to damage your table.

Take a towel and cover your head, without burning (burns tend to ruin your face!). After a quarter of an hour the pores will be completely dilated, and you can start with cleansing the skin.

What is facial cleansing for: facial peeling

Remove dead cells.

The face peeling can be done using a scrub: it has a fundamental importance for removing dead cells and surface impurities.
The scrub is a grainy cosmetic dough containing micro particles with exfoliating action. Spread over your skin allows removal of debris allowing natural regeneration and helping you to breathe.

On the market there are many valid scrubs with a simple and natural composition. You can rely on products tested by your friends, so that we can evaluate the real effectiveness. The result will change depending on your skin type; if possible try a free sample before purchasing the product.

The sugar scrub of FGM04, with argan oil and beeswax smoothes the skin, purifies and restructures the skin base.

Well massage your face with scrub. Carrying out circular movements avoiding the eye contour where the skin is more delicate. Rinse with warm water to remove residues.

We do not recommend scrubbing on acne-prone, damaged or inflamed skin.. Curate the problem and, subsequently, you can remove the impurities serenely.

Purify your skin with a face mask

What you need:

  • Face mask

  • Stereo and good music

  • Beautician sponge pads

  • Waterfall hot

On the web there are home recipes for very imaginative face masks, with many culinary elements. However, we do not have to prepare a carbonara, but purify your skin in a professional and safe way!

For this operation I highly recommend you a FGM04 product.

With the Biobotox face mask you get an immediately brighter and more beautiful skin thanks to. It immediately eliminates signs of tiredness, hydrates the skin giving elasticity and firmness.

Another great mask is Yogurt Face Mask Red Fruits, with important anti-aging and firming action. Its blend of red fruits counteracts the formation of free radicals and soothes.

If after the first application the skin will immediately appear brighter, velvety and softer Don't be surprised: it's normal!
Apply the mask, close your eyes and allow yourself a moment of relaxation just for you.

When the timer on your kitchen or smartphone rings, wet the sponge pads with hot water. They are from a beautician but can easily be found in any shopping centre or on the web.

Clean your face of mask residue.

Close pores with toner

The pores are still dilated and must be closed again. Come? With a tonic!
Many people carry out these treatments without applying a tonic at the end of treatment. In this way all our work will have been in vain. If we don't use the tonic our skin will retain the residues of what we have previously used. The pores will also not be closed properly.

In case you want to get a professional result here is our suggestion. We recommend it to you for a very simple reason: we tested it ourselves.

What's the point of cleansing your face if you don't moisturize?
At the end of the treatment, don't forget to apply your favorite cream (moisturizing, anti-aging, mattifying, etc.).

What to do after cleansing your face?

What can we do after cleaning the face? Here are our suggestions:

Facial gymnastics to prevent wrinklesand: you don't need to go to the gym, don't worry, you can do it from the couch! Gently stretch the skin on your face, massaging it with your fingers. Arched and relax your eyebrows, alternately. Spread your eyes by imagining the window of your favorite jewelry. Speech exaggerated vowels with the mouth trying to move all the muscles of the face: it's funny but it works, try it!

Yoga facial relaxant: now you can relax a little. Let's see together how to do it correctly. Close your eyes by imagining that you are relaxing every single muscle in your face. Visualize a place that makes you relax and feel good. I prefer a Caribbean beach, but the top of the mountain or a boutique in via Montenapoleone will produce the same effect.

��Breathe this moment of relaxation by inhaling through your nose and exhaling from your mouth. Relax your face completely and forget about the daily stress (husband, children, bills, boss, colleagues… make a clean sweep). We do this about ten times, in order to eliminate all the sources of stress present in our life.

Do not expose directly to the sun or bad weather. UV rays and bitter winter cold damage our face. When you go out, wear a nice colored scarf… and go, ready and dive back into the city traffic.

But with a hydrated, relaxed face and an extra gear!

We have concluded: I very much hope you have understood what deep facial cleansing is for and its importance.
