Cleansing is the first step of any skincare routine, washing the face and clearing and freshening the skin. Choosing the right facial cleanser for your skin is essential.
We need to cleanse twice a day. Buildup naturally occurs while we sleep, so starting the AM skincare routine with a gentle cleanser that washes away dead skin cells and excess oils revitalizes the skin. You may want to choose a facial cleanser that features actives such as glycolic acid that can get to work throughout the day—just remember to apply sunscreen as a final step in your routine as actives can increase sensitivity to UVA and UVB rays.
Introduce double cleansing as part of your evening routine. This is a practice that's been part of Korean skincare for years and requires two different facial cleansers. The first cleanser is typically oil-based and used to remove sunscreen and any makeup. The second cleanse is done with a gentle cleanser that removes debris and cleans your face.
There are different types of cleansers available that are designed to suit different concerns and types of skin. Knowing how to choose the best ones for your routine can help you form the foundation of the perfect skincare regimen for your needs. You might want to brighten your face with a cleanser containing lactic acid or sweep olive oil over your face to remove makeup.
