25 Feb How to: Cleanse Your face properly

A clean face is essential for glowing skin. And who doesn’t want skin that glows? Cleansing your face properly and efficiently will lift dirt and oil trapped in your pores. Whether you wear make-up or not it is important to cleanse your face to remove the dirt and bacteria that can build up during the day. This can be caused from wearing make-up, perspiration, dust and polluted air. All of these things can affect your skin and result in clogged pores, which can cause break-outs/acne and a build up of oil on your skin. Which is a big no, no.

A lot of people are uneducated about good skincare because they just don’t know how to take care of their skin and may have never been taught.

Follow these 3 easy steps and your skin will be clean and glowing.

1: Cleanser: With so many on the market it can often be hard to choose. I recommend using an oil based or cream cleanser to ensure it lifts and removes make-up and dirt.

My Top picks:

Sukin Cream Cleanser: $9.99

Lush Ultrabland Cleanser $17.95

L’Occitane Immortelle Oil Make-up Remover $48.00

2: Exfoliate: Using exfoliator can help unplug blockages from the pores and balance the skins natural oil flow, by clearing bacteria and congestion. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that can become trapped in pores and gives your skin a smoother, softer appearance.

My Top picks:

Sukin Super Greens Detoxifying Facial Scrub $12.99

Lush Angels on Bare Skin $17.50

Skin Juice Revival Refining Face Scrub $45.00

3: Tone: Toner for me is a must in my skin care routine and I wouldn’t be without it. Why? Toner completes the cleansing process of your skin, removing the dust, pollution and impurities that may still be trapped in your pores after washing with a cleanser. Often cleansers will leave a film on your skin and the toner simply removes this as well as other impurities. A toner will also hydrate, sooth and rejuvenate the skin. Simply spray or pour onto a cotton pad and gently swipe away any left over make-up or dirt on the skin.
