Facial cleansing is the first and basic step in skin care. Removes skin impurities - both natural and external - makeup, dust, and pollen that settle on our face. During the cleansing process, we also remove dead skin cells. This is a mandatory daily ritual - you must not go to bed without removing your makeup. The skin regenerates at night and must have the right conditions to do so. We create these conditions for her. How to effectively and safely cleanse the skin?

How to effectively and safely cleanse the skin? Which cleansing products to choose?

During conversations at meetings and workshops, cleansing and makeup removal are always recurring theme in the context of natural skin care. How to do it and with what, so that this process is favorable for the skin - on the one hand, it effectively cleanses, and on the other hand, it does not destroy its protective barriers and does not disturb its natural processes. It seems to us that in the entire care process, it is cleansing and make-up removal that raise the most questions and doubts.

Women use various products to cleanse their skin: pure water, soap, washing gels, micellar liquids, lotions, tonics, oil mixtures, and two-phase liquids. It is important to match the type of product used to the type and requirements of your skin as well as to the degree of soiling. It is worth noting here that for women wearing symbolic makeup or not at all, cleansing is a much simpler and more delicate procedure - sometimes it is enough to wipe the skin with a cotton swab moistened with tonic or hydrolate. After washing and cleansing, we should not feel the feeling of skin tightening - although many women consider this feeling as a signal that the skin has been thoroughly cleansed.

Oil - the most effective way to cleanse the face?

The most effective way to cleanse the skin is to use products that contain oils, i.e. cleansing oils, oils for removing makeup, and all kinds of emulsions, two-phase liquids, and milks. This is because like combines with like - and the impurities are mostly fatty.

How to effectively and safely cleanse the skin if we have waterproof, hard-to-remove makeup? Before cleansing, we should put cotton pads soaked in oil or the cleansing product on our eyes and leave them for 10-15 seconds to give the makeup a chance to dissolve without rubbing. The skin around the eyes is delicate, thin and sensitive, and if we rub it regularly to remove makeup, we will accelerate the appearance of wrinkles.

Emulsifying oil - light and non-greasy
We know from conversations that not all women like cleansing their skin with oils. Some of us have the impression that the skin is oily after this treatment, and the remnants of makeup remain unremoved. Therefore, we suggest that to make it more pleasant and effective, it is worth trying BIOUP Face Wash Oil. It combines the benefits of oil care and the ease of rinsing the face with water. The skin after such washing remains clean, smooth, and most importantly - without the feeling of tightness.

Regardless of the method of facial cleansing, at the end of this stage, we tone the skin - so we restore its proper pH.
At night, cleansed skin returns to balance and regenerates. In the morning, in most cases, there is no need to cleanse the face. If you want to refresh your complexion, all you need to do is wipe the skin with swap and BIOUP Yogurt Cleansing Foam Essence.

Acne-prone skin requires a special approach. From the opinions we receive, the combination of Face Wash Oil with Mint-Lavender Tonic works well. Here, the tonic has not only a pH-regulating and moisturizing effect but also an anti-inflammatory and healing effect. Read more about it here.
