Detersione viso: quando la pelle è davvero pulita?

Facial cleansing: when is the skin really clean?

Cleansing is the first essential step of every beauty routine.” It's probably a phrase we've read or heard many times. But when is the skin really clean? Is this why facial cleansing is so important? It is a concept that goes beyond simple facial cleansing or make-up removal. Cleansing is a fundamental step which, if carried out correctly and with the right products , can fight skin aging and help keep the skin young and healthy. In fact, incorrect facial cleansing leads to the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines before their time, impure, imperfect skin and the presence of subcutaneous comedones.

Facial cleansing: why is it important to do it and what are the functions?

As mentioned above, facial cleansing is no longer just a cleansing action, but must be considered as a daily skincare gesture to be performed both in the morning and in the evening, for the well-being of your skin .

It becomes necessary even in the absence of make-up to remove impurities and occlusive residues caused by smog and atmospheric agents from the face.

This allows you to promote skin perspiration and stimulate oxygenation , making the skin brighter and more homogeneous.

Daily cleansing also promotes cell renewal and maintenance of the tone and elasticity of the skin, which appears more compact and youthful.

What are the steps for correct facial cleansing?

Facial cleansing cannot be reduced to the use of a single product, since specific products act with different purposes, always respecting the skin and keeping the hydrolipidic film intact. Here is a small handbook to keep the fundamental steps in mind: 1. MAKE-UP REMOVER To effectively remove make-up and prepare the skin for the following steps; 2. CLEANSER To cleanse the skin, remove impurities, excess sebum, dead cells and dirt particles that accumulate on the skin during the day 3. EXFOLIATING It is important to accompany cleansing with regeneration! To slow down aging it is necessary to cleanse the skin correctly and promote its renewal by accelerating cell turnover, at all ages.

Facial Cleansing Kit: for deep and effective cleansing

SurgicTouch thought of a Kit format that contained everything needed for a deep facial cleansing, perfect to always carry with you even when travelling. The Cleansing Kit consists of three essential products for daily skincare. [products ids="711" columns="1"] Inside the kit you will find the TOTAL REMOVER , a make-up remover that guarantees correct make-up removal and which at the same time is delicate on the skin and respects its physiological conditions. The peculiarity of the Total Remover, compared to many make-up removers on the market, is its dual function: its lipophilic molecule binds and removes fatty matrices such as make-up, and the hydrophilic one instead - which has affinity with aqueous solutions - makes it an effective tonic. The extreme delicacy of the formulation allows it to be used daily and continuously even on hypersensitive skin. The second product in the kit dedicated to facial cleansing is the SOFTLANE mousse cleanser which, through a mixture of alpha-hydroxy acids , stimulates cell turnover , cleanses deeply, smoothes rough and dull skin, making it bright, silky and with an even complexion. The active ingredients present in the formula act in synergy and have numerous properties: glycolic acid removes the outermost cells, lactic acid promotes skin flaking, malic acid helps to open comedones allowing easier removal of imperfections and is effective in the treatment of discoloration and melasma, salicylic acid with smoothing properties and phytic acid which has lightening, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Finally the SILK RENEW mask which combines three very important actions:
  • the first action is that of a mechanical peeling carried out using plant granules which help remove dead cells;
  • the second is that of a chemical peel obtained through 5 acids with exfoliating properties which give immediate brightness to the skin;
  • the third action is emollient and restorative , conveyed by active ingredients such as sericin, which forms a protective film on the skin to guarantee hydration and elasticity and retinol, which increases the production of collagen to give softness to the tissues.
For how to use the kit, we recommend using Total Remover daily morning and evening, using Softlane 2 times a week on cleansed skin, preferably in the evening, to prepare the skin for the application of cosmeceuticals. Use Silk Renew once a week on the face, neck and décolleté.
