Double cleansing: the secret to flawless skin
Double cleansing is a proven method to effectively remove impurities from the skin.
This two-step routine is ideal for deep cleansing and preparing the skin for subsequent treatments.
1- Deep make-up removal
Makeup remover balm : More than just a makeup remover, it is also a complete treatment. It cleanses the skin without attacking it and deeply moisturizes it.
Use :
- Take a small amount of balm with a spatula.
- Warm it in your hands.
- Apply to dry face, massage gently in circular movements.
- Moisten the area with water to remove makeup and impurities.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Makeup Remover Oil : Ideal for all skin types. Gently massage the face and neck with a vegetable oil to remove makeup and impurities. Upon contact with water, the oil transforms into a milky texture that gently cleanses.
Makeup remover : Perfect for dry skin. Apply with fingers or a konjac sponge, then remove with lotion or mist.
Micellar water : Use it occasionally and check its composition to avoid aggressive agents. It is perfect when used alternately with other makeup removers.
2- Deep cleaning
Gel cleanser : Suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin. This type of cleanser deeply purifies and removes excess sebum.
Cream cleanser : Ideal for dry or sensitive skin. It forms a creamy foam that cleanses while moisturizing the skin.
Exfoliation : Once or twice a week, exfoliate your clients' skin to remove dead cells and regulate sebum. Opt for scrubs with natural seeds for maximum softness.
Mask application: hydration
It's THE STEP that makes the difference! They come in two main forms, each providing specific benefits: the fabric mask or the pack mask .
For well-hydrated, happy and healthy skin, here's how to enhance your skincare:
-
Fabric mask:
Frequency : Use a fabric mask one to four times a month.
Use :
- Preparation : For a firming and refreshing effect, place the fabric mask in the refrigerator for about 15 to 30 minutes before use.
- Application : Apply the mask to clean, dry skin, adjusting it perfectly to the shape of your face.
- Application time : Leave to act for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Removal : Gently remove the mask and massage excess serum onto your face, neck and décolleté until completely absorbed.
Benefits : The sheet mask intensely hydrates and nourishes the skin, helping to maintain its radiance and freshness. The cooling effect of the chilled mask also helps to tighten pores and soothe tired skin.
-
Mask Pack:
Frequency : Use the mask pack at the end of your skincare routine, as often as necessary to stabilize and anchor the active ingredients.
Use :
- Preparation : After applying your serums and moisturizers, mix the powder with cold water for maximum effect. Apply a generous layer of mask pack to your skin.
- Application time : leave the mask on for at least 10 to 15 minutes, until the product solidifies.
- Rinsing : remove the mask by hand, then gently rinse off the residue using sponges.
Benefits : the mask pack helps to stabilize the skin by anchoring the good active ingredients of the products previously applied. It allows the effect of your treatments to last longer.
Sunscreen: the best ally against premature aging!
It is crucial to finish your care with sunscreen to protect the skin from UV rays and premature aging.
Why use sunscreen?
- UV Protection: UV rays can cause significant damage to the skin, leading to spots, wrinkles and other signs of premature aging.
- Sunburn Prevention: Regular application of sunscreen prevents painful sunburn and long-term damage.
- Hydration and care: Many sunscreens contain moisturizing ingredients that keep skin soft and supple.
How to apply sunscreen correctly?
- Apply generously: Don't skimp on the amount. A generous application guarantees optimal protection.
- Reapply: Apply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or in case of excessive sweating.
- Even in winter: Remind your clients that the sun doesn't take a break, even under cloudy skies or in winter.
