Secrets to great looking skin

Cleansing & Toning

If you want your skin to look and feel good, careful cleansing is important. Cleansing is one of the most important steps in your skincare regime.

If the skin is not thoroughly cleansed of dirt, sebum and pollution, it can cause your skin to look dull and dark and in people with oily skin, can cause acne. On the other hand, using harsh cleansers on your skin can strip away essential skin oils, which your skin isn't capable of replacing. You will dry out your stratum corneum to cause premature aging and dull, undernourished skin.

Cleansing with soap:

Soap isn't very good at removing make -up

Soap can be very drying on the skin, washing away skin oils and/or lipids

Skin is naturally acidic, while soap is generally alkaline, it changes your skin's natural Ph balance

Cosmetic cleansers are carefully formulated to dissolve the most tenacious of make-up formulations, excess skin oils and dirt.

Toning:

Toners are typically to be used after using a cleanser and they help in removing the cleanser residues and excess skin sebum.

Toners refresh skin too.

They also firm up and recondition the skin.

They shrink the pores and prevent dirt and dust from damaging the skin.
