How to cleanse your face: all our tips for clean, deeply purified skin.

Cleansing your face is a step you should never neglect if you want beautiful skin and a radiant complexion. To be truly effective, this seemingly simple daily ritual requires specific timing and cosmetic care.

So, how do you properly cleanse and wash your face? Should you follow the same steps and apply the same products morning and night? And, for that matter, do you really need to cleanse your skin twice a day? Find the answer in this article.

Why should you cleanse your face?

Like all other parts of the body, facial skin eliminates some of the waste it secretes through the pores located on its surface. But this elimination is often disrupted:

• During the day, various elements such as pollutants, dust, sweat, sebum, dead skin cells, and makeup residue can accumulate on the skin and clog the pores. When this happens, the skin has difficulty oxygenating, which leads to a loss of suppleness and radiance and can cause the appearance of imperfections such as blackheads or pimples.
• During the night, the cell regeneration process intensifies, helping to eliminate dead skin cells, which then rise to the surface of theepidermis.

Cleansing your face every day to remove residue is therefore essential, even when you're not wearing makeup! It's also the step that prepares your skin to receive skincare products and facilitates their absorption.

The best time to cleanse your face

Morning and evening or only in the evening? Several options are available to you, depending on your needs, your skin type, and how it reacts to the skincare products you use. data-mce-fragment="1">Cleansing your skin in the evening is essential

Using a cleansing facial in the evening is essential, as your skin must be free of makeup (if you use any) and impurities accumulated during the day (pollution particles, sweat, any makeup, sebum, etc.).

Washing your face only in the evening has the advantage of not being too harsh on it and better preserving itsmicrobiota, the set of protective bacteria located on the skin's surface.

Cleansing your skin in the morning: optional!

You can also cleanse in the morning, depending on your skin type, if it tolerates it well, to remove any excess sebum, sweat and dead skin cells accumulated during the night. The morning treatment will then be much lighter, because the deep cleansing will have been done the night before.

After cleansing and before skincare, use the micropeeling lotionOXYGEN-PEEL. It should only be applied in the evening, using a cotton pad. This lotion gives the skin a radiant boost by gently removing dead skin cells to prepare it for nighttime skincare.

Once your skin is perfectly cleansed and purified, dry your face thoroughly with a soft towel, without rubbing. You can then apply your usual skincare products.
