Just like there are various ways to keep a skin of the face healthy, 'cleansing" is also one of them.

Face cleansing means to clear the skin by using anti oily chemicals or natural products.
Cleansing the face can involve many steps, which cshoulrformed with the use of a cleanser.
A cleanser can be used to remove make-up, dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and other types of pollutants from the skin of the face.

This helps to unclog the pores of the skin and prevent skin conditions such as acne.

Along with cleansers, astringents are also used.
It is a liquid that cleans the skin deeply and reduces face pores. Astringent can be used at day and night time both to make skin clear and shinny.

It contains additional alcohol that reduce bacteria and helps in making the skin germs and infection free.

Astringent is mostly used at the time we feel our skin is oily and sticky.

The best time to perform cleansing, is to perform it at night.

The face should be washed properly and then cleansing cream should be applied at night.
Then it should be continued in a scheduled manner.
The schedule can be followed for weeks, months and even a year also.
If one do not make his/her face skin clean, then the skin will be dry and pealed.

A quick clean up at home can also be done.It not only makes the skin look radiant and clean, but also prepares the skin for the makeup one wishes to apply thenafter.

Face cleansing at home can be done by any of the cleansing products which is suitable.
Face clean can be performed at home by the following steps listed below :

  • Face should be washed thoroughly with a facial cleanser or face wash of any choice and then the skin should be patted to dry with a soft napkin.

  • Generous quantity of cleaning milk or lotion should be taken on a cotton pad and the face should be wiped to remove any dirt particles and to unclog the pores.

  • The face should be wiped gently with a facial tissue.

  • Now, an ice cube can be taken and massaged gently on the face in circular movements. This helps to tighten the pores which have opened up due to the steam and it also bring back the skin temperature to normal.

  • A generous amount of any facial scrub can be taken and the face should be gently exfoliated in circular movements. It must be continued to exfoliate for about 8-10 minutes till the scrub dries out a little.

  • Now, some honey should be taken and massaged over the scrub applied face for approximately 5-8 minutes.Honey is anti-bacterial agent which prevents breakouts and gives a healthy glow to the face.

  • The face can be washed after that and a face mask should be applied of and left till it dries. Once the mask dries,it must be washed off.

  • The face should be then patted to dry and a toner should be applied followed by a moisturizer.
