Periodic cleansing is essential for your facial skin. Various cosmetics are used for cleansing procedures. When choosing such products, you need to focus on your skin type. Proper cleansing rejuvenates, heals the skin and improves complexion.
Cleansing the skin is necessary to get rid of excess oil secreted by the skin itself for its softness and elasticity. Dirt accumulates in uncleaned pores and bacteria multiply, leading to micro-inflammations.

GIGI cosmetics for deep facial cleansing:
Many people still think that facial cleansing products are a luxury. Is simply washing your face not enough to take care of yourself? We are not going down into a mine - at least most of us.
Regular washing is only enough to remove external impurities. Particles of dust and cosmetic products that have become embedded in the skin cannot be removed with ordinary soap or foam. But they are the main culprits in the appearance of acne - an external and internal inflammatory process. Skin pores become clogged from the outside with dust and from the inside with sebum, bacteria begin to develop rapidly in them, and an inflammatory process occurs.
Skin cleansers help prevent purulent inflammation and the appearance of acne.
Facial cleansers
Before purchasing a cosmetic product for cleansing your face, you need to know what exactly needs to be used at this stage. The choice depends on the quality of the skin and related problems - sensitivity, rosacea, the presence of an inflammatory process, etc.
Cosmetic products for the face from this group are represented by the following categories.
Using a scrub is a high-quality cleaning, exfoliation and acceleration of blood supply in the upper layer of the epithelium, due to which it is saturated with useful substances.
- Gommages are less popular than scrubs, but they are an excellent alternative to rough cleansing for dry and sensitive skin. In their composition, solid abrasive particles are replaced by chemicals that gently dissolve "traffic jams" in clogged pores. After applying gommage, oily shine is eliminated, the face becomes pleasantly smooth and matte. Thanks to open pores, daily care creams are absorbed faster.
- Cleansing gels or cream gels. Their structure can be lighter and airier for gels, and denser for creams. They are used as follows: apply a thin layer to the face - they apply very easily, then foam, and cleanse the skin with massage movements. The procedure takes up to 4-5 minutes, but the result is worth it. One of the advantages of cleansing creams is their cost-effectiveness.
- Masks. Typically, these products are made from a base that has a tightening effect - the creamy structure thickens on the body. While the mask is on the face, its active components dissolve and draw out sebaceous plugs, cleansing the pores. The masks contain clay, glycerin, wax, various cosmetic and essential oils.
Creams and tonics for removing makeup are often attributed to facial cleansing products. These cosmetic products are not able to carry out high-quality leather treatment. On the contrary, their use clogs the pores even more and stimulates the development of acne.
Facial skin cleansing cream is not a makeup remover, but a substance that dissolves "stubs" pores from desquamated epithelium and sebaceous secretions.
The best facial cleansers - review
Facial scrubs.
- Manufacturer "Clean line". Contains: abrasive particles - finely crushed apricot kernels, chamomile extract - as an antiseptic and soothing agent. Use – for oily and problem skin, no more than 2 times a week.
- "Basic care" from the company "Garnier". The cream base, which contains: vitamin E, grape extract, kaolin, synthetic and natural abrasive particles - rubber granules and crushed grape seeds, helps retain moisture. The composition may vary - the product is offered in different versions.
- One of the most soft options from this group - "Nivea Visage". Its active component is panthenol. After exfoliation, it helps retain moisture and stimulate regeneration.
The most popular gommages.
This product can be classified as gommages and deep cleaning creams at the same time - "Gentle Refiner Exfoliating cream". It exfoliates upper layer epithelium and cleanses pores. Abrasive particles are represented by 2 types of microgranules - synthetic nylon granules, they exfoliate the stratum corneum of the epidermis and cellulose balls, which contain mimosa extract, polishing the skin.
Gels for cleansing pores.
- "Clean&Clear". A soft, delicate product that restores elasticity and tone to the face, delicate consistency, easy application.
- Included "Declare Gentle" lactic acid, natural linden extract that has a softening effect. The product has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, improves local immunity. The gel can be considered as a peeling.
- "Gel Eclat" from a cosmetic company "Lancome". It does not contain granules, but it thoroughly cleanses the face due to its thick, creamy consistency.
- "Perfect Skin" from "Clean Line"- a universal remedy, which contains active ingredients - extracts of mint and chamomile and zinc as an anti-inflammatory component.
Masks.
Facial cleansing can be a preparation before healing sessions - applying moisturizers and nourishing masks or acne treatment, but it can also be carried out without additional procedures.
It is impossible to say which product is the best, especially since the list is not limited to the above-mentioned scrubs and gels. You should focus on your own preferences. You should choose not only by skin type, but also by smell. If cosmetic procedures do not give pleasure, there will be no benefit from them.
Gels and mousses. Suitable for all skin types, except very dry. Gel textures are an ideal choice for hot days. Dermatocosmetologists do not recommend using them to cleanse the skin more than twice a day (morning and evening, respectively): surfactants (surfactants are the basis of the formula for most cleansers and detergents) can cause skin irritation if used frequently. If your skin is sensitive, choose products that instead of sodium sulfate-based surfactants contain gentler cleansing ingredients synthesized from natural amino acids (for example, coconut or rapeseed oils). Mild surfactants usually foam less and may have to be used twice, but they cleanse the skin just as well!

Soap. Which soap is better - solid (solid, that is, bar) or liquid - a question that cannot be answered unequivocally. Bar soap usually contains many alkaline components that disrupt the pH balance of the skin. In liquid soap or shower gel there are usually fewer alkalis, and more caring and softening ingredients. But it’s better to look at the composition - Clinique, L'Occitane, Belnature and many other brands produce so-called “cosmetic” soap - solid soap with a special low-alkaline soft formula that preserves the hydrolipidic layer of the skin and even restores it with amino acids, oils and other moisturizing and nourishing components.
Tonic. Despite the fact that it seems unnecessary to many, dermatocosmetologists consider the use of tonic to be the final (and mandatory!) stage of skin cleansing: it removes the remnants of cleanser and salts that may be contained in tap water and irritate the skin. Plus, the tonic softens, moisturizes, and accelerates the restoration of the skin's protective barrier.
Cleansing wipes. Makeup remover wipes are a compact travel option. You can take them with you on the train or the gym. What is convenient is that the lotions with which they are impregnated have not only cleansing, but also tonic properties for the skin, contain softening and nourishing components, and sometimes also anti-inflammatory and antibacterial - if these are wipes for oily and problem skin. But it is important to remember: the latter are not suitable for removing eye makeup, nor are wipes containing ethyl alcohol.
Micellar water (micellar solution). Replaces both cleanser and toner, like cleansing wipes, great for travel and especially recommended for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate tap water. After all, there is no need to rinse this product off! What is micellar water? Roughly speaking, an aqueous solution with microscopic particles dissolved in it based on soft surfactants of fatty acids - micelles. Micellar water both cleanses the skin and perfectly removes makeup, including waterproof mascara. The main thing for good cleansing You need to wipe your face with it several times until the cotton pad is clean.
Scrubs and masks. Even though they are considered deep skin cleansers, applying them to uncleaned skin is the biggest mistake you can make. The second common mistake is using them too often. Follow the instructions, otherwise you will break the skin's protective barrier, and it will become more hypersensitive, irritation and inflammation may occur.
The skin on your face requires constant careful care. In order to maintain youth and avoid the premature appearance of wrinkles, you need to choose the right cleanser. Today, their choice is quite large for every skin type. These can be either products from cosmetic companies or homemade products according to folk recipes.
Cleansing your skin is an important daily ritual.
Every woman should know that skin needs regular daily cleansing, regardless of age. This is because during the day the epidermis encounters various pollutants that clog pores. After a while, acne, redness, and pimples suddenly appear on the face. The same problems plague owners of fatty and combination skin faces.
You can avoid similar troubles only under one condition - using cleansers. The procedure is ideally carried out in the morning and evening hours. Deep cleansing of the skin is recommended at least 2 times a week. What exactly to use for beauty depends on individual preferences. These can be ready-made store-bought or homemade remedies. It is worth considering that for the latter you need to use natural ingredients.
Deep cleansing
Cosmetologists recommend doing this procedure 2 times a week at home, especially if the skin is prone to oily skin. The most successful facial cleansers in this case are scrubs and masks. Just keep in mind that they need to be applied to prepared skin. To do this, make a steam bath based on medicinal herbs. Light scrub rub into the skin with movements for 2-3 minutes, then rinse off and apply a mask. The final stage is a nourishing cream (according to your skin type).
Cosmetic milk
Of all cleansers, this is the most gentle and gentle. In cosmetology, there are 2 types of cosmetic milk: one is used to remove makeup, and the other cleanses the surface of the dermis. It perfectly removes dirt accumulated in the pores and excess oil. Cosmetologists recommend that girls and women with dry skin use it for daily washing and forget about tap water. The milk must be used morning and evening.
Without much effort or financial expense, such a mild product can be prepared at home according to your skin type. If the sebaceous glands are overworked, you will need to mix egg yolks, lemon juice and a small amount of cognac. For dry skin, the product should not only be cleansing, but also nourishing. Therefore, there will be a positive effect after using milk based on egg yolks and infusion of chamomile or string.
Skin cleansing soap
There is an opinion that it is impossible to cleanse the skin on the face the old fashioned way, using soap. The substances contained in it damage the lipid layer and disrupt the functioning of the epidermis. This is where various problems begin in the form of peeling, redness, and comedones. But still, cosmetics manufacturers have been able to create suitable soap products that carefully remove dirt from the surface of the most sensitive skin.
Soap for washing should contain herbal ingredients, cosmetic (moisturizing) oils and no alkali. The pH level should be neutral.
Soap for cleansing facial skin can also be prepared at home. For dry skin, a mixture of powdered milk is suitable, lavender oil and oatmeal. To cleanse oily skin you will need shavings baby soap, brewed with boiling water, boric acid, ammonia and camphor alcohol, hydrogen peroxide.
How to choose a cosmetic product?
Properly selected skin cleansers should fully cope with their direct responsibilities, remove dirt from the surface and not cause allergies. Of course, it is better to entrust such a choice to a specialist (not a salesperson in a store) - a cosmetologist or dermatologist. If this is not possible, reviews recommend that when purchasing, pay attention not to the popularity of the manufacturer, but to the components included in the product and the type of skin for which it is intended.
For oily skin, the cleanser should be gel-like, with small abrasive particles (scrubs). The composition should not contain cream or glycerin. This type of skin is not friendly with these components, which can be determined by the deterioration of its condition. Foams are also suitable for daily use. Determining whether the chosen product is suitable is quite easy. If after use there is no feeling of a film on the skin, then the product can be safely used for cosmetic procedures.

The most popular among owners fatty type skin use the following cosmetic products:
- Gentle peeling Diademine.

- Mary Kay TimeWise and Botanical Effects cleanser.

Bran (rice, wheat), which is mixed with kefir, water or milk, perfectly cleanses contaminated skin. There is no need to rub the resulting mass with force; movements should be soft and smooth. The scrub copes well with the task and quickly removes excess fat and dirt.
What's best for dry skin?
Constant irritation, a feeling of tightness and flaking are characteristic signs of dry skin type. In this case, you also need to be careful when choosing a facial cleanser. It would be correct to purchase small samples of the selected cosmetics for the first use. If the cleansers are completely suitable, it makes sense to purchase them in full.

This cream with a small amount granules contain various plant extracts and vitamins necessary for the skin. You can also choose cleansing milk, lotion, gel from the famous Vichy pharmacy cosmetics brand (Purete Thermal series).
Home methods
You can make wonderful cleansers at home. Reviews from owners of dry skin indicate that in this case you need to resort to the help of cosmetic oils: castor, sea buckthorn, almond, avocado, grape seed, apricot, calendula, macadamia, sesame and peach. Each of them has certain beneficial properties.
In order for the oil to be used as a cleanser, it is preheated. For this purpose, it is better to take wheat germ, apricot or peach oil. A cotton swab should be soaked in warm liquid and wiped across the face.
You can prepare a special one at home eau de toilette for dry skin. It is necessary to pour white wine (1 glass) into whole wheat grains (2 tablespoons) and leave for 5 days in a dark place. The resulting tincture is filtered and 1 yolk is added to the liquid. The resulting cleanser is ideal for evening treatments.

In the Land of the Rising Sun, charcoal has been used in the production of cosmetics since ancient times. Since the main function of charcoal is to absorb, it has become an indispensable ingredient in skin and hair cleansing lines. “Black charcoal for white skin” - that’s what the Japanese say about Roland’s charcoal foam cleanser, which penetrates deep into the pores, “pulls out” impurities from them and absorbs sebum. Foaming cleanser from Roland not only cleanses, but also prevents acne. Another bonus: the product can be used as a mask for problem skin. Just apply it in a thick layer, wait until the beauty product dries a little (this will happen within 5-10 minutes) and rinse with water.
