What was 'Beauty'? Who Would Be Called 'Beautiful'? Yes, I can hear the examples increasing, ladies, let me say this. Being beautiful does not only mean having big eyes, long curly eyelashes or full lips. Nowadays, the concept of beauty has changed.

Now, when facial beauty is mentioned, clean, soft and bright-looking skin comes to mind. That's why the first way to be beautiful is to have beautiful skin, which is actually the most difficult, demanding and consistent issue.

In normal healthy skin, skin cleansing and care must be applied at regular intervals in order to maintain its vibrant, bright and elastic appearance. So, have you ever thought why skin cleansing is so important to us? Or what do we actually do to our skin when we clean it whenever we want? What is our understanding of cleaning? Let's take a look together...

Skin Cleansing means; It is the sum of the applications performed to renew the skin by cleaning the dead layer accumulated on the skin, to prevent the formation of acne by purifying it from comedones, and more importantly, to maintain skin elasticity and youth. Skin cleansing is a practice that should be done every day, apart from basic skin cleansing. The skin should be cleansed in the morning and evening with a cleansing product suitable for your skin type.

The purpose of skin cleansing is to cleanse the skin from dust, dirt, make-up residues, sebum (oil) and dead cells accumulated on the skin surface, to increase the skin's oxygen exchange, to prevent the skin from wearing out and deforming, to help nourish and renew the skin, to protect the skin against external factors. is to protect.

Time , Twice a day: morning and evening.

- Morning: to cleanse the skin from sebum and waste accumulated during the night.

- Evening: to cleanse the skin from make-up residues and dirt and dust accumulated on the skin throughout the day.

There are many types of cleansing products in the ideal structure and packaging to suit your skin cleansing needs and tendencies: milk and lotions, gels, oils, make-up remover wipes, etc. The majority of these cleansers also have the ability to care for the skin, prevent irritation, redness, wrinkles and soothe the skin, thanks to the many active ingredients they contain.

Daily Cleaners

Water

Use warm water when rinsing your face; Because warm water is closer to your skin temperature, it helps cleansers dissolve oil and dirt better. After rinsing your face thoroughly with warm water, apply cold water, thus your pores will tighten and your skin will be revitalized. Be sure to dry your skin after cleansing it. When the water starts to evaporate, your skin will become dehydrated. Don't forget to apply moisturizer afterwards.

Soap

The oldest cleanser used by human beings other than water is 'Soap.' Soaps are water-soluble Sodium and Potassium salts of fatty acids. Soaps are anionic surfactants and their pH is Alkaline. However, the normal pH of the skin is acidic. For this reason, soaps cause visible and noticeable effects on the skin such as dryness, redness, burning and itching. Dry skin becomes weak and prone to irritation and line formation. Therefore, I recommend you to choose soap-free cleansers.

Gel

Since they are lightweight, they are especially suitable for combination and oily skin. They cleanse the skin deeply without damaging or drying it. Some also have soothing and anti-bacterial effects.

Oil-Free Cleaners

These are oil-free liquid products containing Water, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Propylene Glycol. They cleanse the skin without using water and soap. They are applied to dry and moist skin surfaces. It is based on creating foam on the skin surface and removing dirt with foam. They leave a thin film behind.

Cleansing Creams

These are used to both cleanse and moisturize the face. This type of cream is called 'Cold Cream'. These are the products preferred by people with dry skin. They contain water, mineral oil, petroleum jelly and wax.

Makeup remover milk

It is very effective in removing heavy make-up without damaging the skin. There are different ingredients ideal for skin types. It provides gentle cleaning thanks to its fluid structure. You can apply it to your face and neck with a cotton pad or your fingertips. Afterwards, apply tonic to remove milk residue.

Toners and Astringents

These are products containing fragrance and alcohol that act by tightening the skin and are used to cleanse the oil. They eliminate the film left by soaps and oils and leave a refreshing effect on the skin. Those formulated for oily skin usually contain high amounts of alcohol, while those for dry skin are alcohol-free.

In short, the cosmetics industry has offered many alternative products to the market for skin cleansing, and our duty is to choose cleansers suitable for our skin and allocate the necessary time for skin cleansing and care.

Remember, no matter how limited your time is, the five minutes you spend on your skin will pay off in years.
