CLEANSER

This product is one of the must-have skincare products. Because this product will play a direct role in removing dirt and oil thoroughly on the face. Currently there are so many types of cleansers that can be adjusted according to skin type and skin problems.

There are two common products in this type of cleanser, namely facial wash and facial foam. Facial wash is a type of cleanser that is recommended for dry and sensitive skin types. In the formulation type facial wash has the form of a gel or cream that contains more moisturizer so that it improves the texture of dry facial skin and relaxes sensitive facial skin.

Facial foam is a soft and foamy cream. So the main foam formers in a cosmetic formulation are surfactants which are able to remove excess dirt and sebum on the skin. Therefore, this type of cleanser is perfect for oily skin types. There are several choices of active substances that need to be considered in choosing a cleanser. The selection of active substances that we will use is based on the skin problems we are experiencing. After choosing the type of cleanser, you must also pay attention to the procedure for using it. This needs to be done so that the active substances can work optimally so as to provide optimal results on facial skin. Figure 1 is a light analogy that needs to be considered in how to use the cleanser to get optimal results.

Double cleansing is also something that is often forgotten when using skincare. Even though this greatly affects the problems that will arise on facial skin, such as blackheads, large facial pores, acne, to premature aging. As the name suggests, double cleansing is a facial cleansing that is carried out in two stages, namely removing oil-soluble dirt and then continuing to remove water-soluble dirt. Cleaning oil soluble dirt can use a makeup remover or micellar water, while water soluble dirt can be done using a cleanser. This really helps in cleaning the skin optimally, especially for those who do most of the outdoor activities. Here is an easy way to do double cleansing (Figure 2).
