Long days at the beach and the pool, together with the relaxation in our beauty routine, take their toll on our skin. Now is the time to give it that much-needed care, starting with a deep cleaning. You can do it yourself at home with specific products, which are a true sensory experience, and will leave your face ready to absorb the active and repairing ingredients of our facial care products.

  • Start by doing the double cleaning. Many think that because less makeup is used in summer it is not necessary, but with the use of sunscreen creams, which are thick enough to resist on our skin despite water and sweat, the pores are also clogged. Choose an oil or balm first, to dissolve any oily residue from the skin, and apply it with your fingers all over the face. Rinse it with plenty of water. Most products turn into a milky emulsion that carries away all the dirt. Then use a water-based cleaner to remove any remaining residue.
  • Exfoliation.  Now that you have clean skin it is time to resort to heavy artillery and remove dead cells and blackheads from our skin . You will see that far from losing the tanned tone with exfoliation, you will get it to regain its luminosity and uniform tone . As we get older, the renewal of the skin slows down and the production of collagen also, so it is good for us to help the renewal process. There are many types of scrubs, from mechanical to chemical. Look for the one that you notice that has an effect on your skin without reaching irritation. We have the feeling that the physical drag type are less aggressive than the chemical ones, but in reality the latter can be much softer,It will depend on the acid concentrations , which in those for domestic use are not usually so high as to irritate the skin. Any product in your cleaning routine that causes you any discomfort such as irritation, dryness, or tightness is not made for you. These sensations are not synonymous with the fact that the product acts, but rather that it is not suitable for your skin.
  • Mask.  It is the last step in this cleaning, but no less important. Leaving a purifying mask on the skin for a few minutes makes the active ingredients work even more deeply. Allow yourself a moment of relaxation with your mask applied and notice that sensation on your skin of renewal and cleaning.
  • Multitasking products.  They are true jewels of cosmetics that perform several functions at the same time, which is ideal for those who are always in a hurry . Also, if you add to that the sensory experiences they provide, such as heat effect, aromatherapy or oxygenating bubbles, they will make you feel in a luxury spa.
