The sequence of daily evening facial care for women explained
Step 1 - CLEAN
A good basic facial care for women starts with daily cleansing of your face, both in the morning and in the evening. This is an absolutely necessary step to keep your skin healthy, also in the evening, and also when you are not wearing make-up. There are also other impurities on the skin such as dirt, excess sebum and micro-organisms. This step is necessary for every skin type. It is important to use cleansing products that are suitable for your skin type. Cleansed skin is the necessary basis for the rest of the facial care routine. If there is still dirt, make-up or sebum on your skin, the care products cannot do their job properly. The skin must be completely cleansed before you start the next steps. A facial cleanser removes make-up and impurities. This prevents clogged pores and pimples. The skin can breathe and is ready for the rest of the care. Use a cleanser that is tailored to your skin type: dry to normal skin, combination to oily skin or sensitive skin. Read here how to determine your facial skin type .
Use a small amount of cleanser to wash your face and neck. Wash your skin thoroughly for at least a minute. Apply the cleanser to damp skin and make small upward circular movements. Then rinse your face and neck with lukewarm water. Do not use water that is too hot because it will affect the natural oil layer on your face. Then gently pat your face dry. Make sure you do not rub too hard.
Toning is an important addition to facial cleansing. The cleansing process is completed with a facial tonic that removes any remaining impurities and closes the pores.Toning is the removal of cleansing residues and any remaining dirt with a tonic. If you go over your face with a cotton pad with tonic after you have first cleansed the skin, a lot of dirt will still come off your face and remain on the cotton pad. The tonic also ensures that the acidity (pH value) of the skin is restored after cleansing. The cleanser in combination with water changes the acidity of the skin and a tonic restores this. This is important to maintain a good natural skin barrier. The nutrients that you are going to apply in the next step will also be able to work better. Be sure to put enough tonic on the cotton pad so that you do not have to rub your face and neck too hard.
Finish your skin care evening routine with a nourishing, restorative and hydrating night cream . A night cream is often richer in nourishing and caring ingredients than a day cream and nourishes the facial skin intensively and deeply during sleep. In this way, the skin of your face is perfectly hydrated. Sometimes a day and night cream are combined in one product. The Aloe Vera face cream is perfectly suitable as a day and night cream. Put small dots of night cream on your cheeks, forehead, nose, chin and neck. Gently massage the cream in circles into the skin with clean fingertips.
