Regular cleansing is a vital part of any effective skincare regime. How well you wash your face is just as important as how often you do it. Cleansing removes dirt, sweat, sebum, makeup, dead skin cells, pollutants and bacteria. If these aren’t washed away, they can cause spots, blocked pores, flaking, irritation, inflammation, dullness and other visible signs of premature ageing.
For most people, deep cleansing means double cleansing. This simply means washing your face with two different cleansers, most commonly during your evening skincare routine. It’s the second step of this process that usually achieves the serious deep-down clean.
Cleansing balms, which involve gentle massage and removal with warm water and a face cloth, are hard to beat. Deep cleansing face masks, which often incorporate different types of clay, are another excellent option for drawing out impurities and decongesting pores.
