WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CLEANSING?
Cleansing is a crucial step in achieving optimum results from your skincare routine. Throughout the day and night, excess oil, impurities, bacteria and dirt accumulate on skin. These can cause a blockage of skin follicles and clog up pores, trapping sebum and allowing bacteria to penetrate the skin. It’s this that can cause breakouts, blotchiness, inflammation and a lacklustre complexion. Cleansing should be part of your morning and evening skincare routine to prevent this from happening.
A great cleanser lifts away superficial debris consisting of make-up, dirt, dead skin cells, pollutants and sunscreen. Even better, an active cleanser will penetrate deeply, clearing away excess oil and debris in the dermis. After use, skin is left thoroughly cleansed and is ready to absorb other products for maximum efficiency. Not just that, but cleansers with active ingredients can also target specific skincare concerns, including brightening skin, hydration and minimising the signs of ageing!
