Skin cleaning: check the step by step

Doing a good skin cleansing guarantees its natural beauty, eliminating impurities and leaving the skin healthier. In the case of normal to dry skin it is advisable to clean the skin thoroughly once every 2 months or once a month in the case of oily skin. However, it is not advisable to clean the skin when there are inflamed pimples, with yellow and red spots, and in less than 7 days after an acidic peel.

The necessary precautions to ensure a good cleansing of the skin are to avoid sun exposure 48 hours before and after the treatment, to prevent the skin from becoming blotchy, always use a facial sunscreen and drink plenty of water to ensure good skin hydration.

The beautician or dermatologist will be able to indicate your skin type and the most suitable products to be used, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of skin cleansing, without flaking or redness. In addition, the dermatologist and beautician can also cleanse the skin, but in a professional manner, which may have better results. See how a deep skin cleansing is done.
