Step by step: the 5 do-it-yourself facial cleansing gestures
To have glowing and healthy skin, at any age, it is important to take care of it every day. In addition to the regular beauty routine which includes cleansing and moisturizing, it is a good idea to perform a more thorough and deep facial cleansing every 10-15 days.
It is not essential to go to the beautician, just follow these 5 simple steps from the comfort of your home.
Step 1: Remove your make-up
The first fundamental step is to remove make-up and cleanse the skin of the face using a cleansing milk or micellar water, to remove makeup and impurities accumulated during the day.

To purify the skin, boil a pot with water, pour it into a container and lower your face in favor of the scents by covering your head with a towel. Stay like this for about ten minutes. If you have oily skin, add branches of rosemary, lavender or bay leaves to the hot water.
Step 3: It's scrub time
The scrub, particularly useful for removing dead cells, can be carried out with products that you find on the market and which contain special microspheres with an exfoliating action or with a mixture you have prepared using honey and sugar. Moisten your face and apply the product, massaging not too energetically with circular movements and, finally, rinse to remove residues.
Step 4: Put on a mask!
You are now ready to apply a specific face mask for your skin type. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes, wash your face and dry it.

The last step is to restore the skin to its optimal hydration. Choose a good quality cream, suited to your needs - oily / dry / normal skin and young / mature skin -, and apply it by gently massaging the face with circular movements to promote circulation at the capillary level.
