- Daily cleaning
It is essential to clean in the morning and at night. Without a doubt, this is the key to keeping the skin free of whiteheads: clean skin on which there is no trace of makeup.
Cleaning can be done with 3-in-1 micellar water, that is, it cleanses, purifies and tones the skin. You can complete this action with an anti-pollution lotion, but only in cases where you live in areas where the skin must be more deeply protected from external aggressions.
- Maximum hydration
And we’re not just talking about drinking 2 litres of water. It is also essential to apply hydration to the skin through creams, serums and oils. Special attention to the latter since thanks to a texture similar to that of water, and just as effective as a serum, the essences regenerate the skin and, in turn, provide it with the hydration it needs while protecting it against external threats.
Creams are basic no matter what skin you have. Dry skin will cry out for hydration, but oily skin also needs water since, if it does not receive the necessary amount, it will produce more oil.
The two previous steps are the mandatory daily steps but we must add a third step in which deep cleaning is done that eliminates the impurities deposited on the surface of the skin, also responsible for the appearance of whiteheads. This deep cleaning, divided into two parts, can be done twice a week.
a) Exfoliation
Even if we do daily cleaning, we must bear in mind that to get rid of all dead skin cells we must exfoliate, but this must be gentle because if it is very abrasive, it can cause and develop other types of skin problems.
b) Face mask
The exfoliation is completed with the application of a facial mask. If it is made of clay, much better since they extract impurities from the inside of each pore in addition to stretching the skin, improving circulation and purifying the internal layers of the skin.
It is the perfect complement to exfoliation. Clay masks deeply extract impurities from inside each pore. In addition, the clay has great properties to stretch the skin, improving circulation on its surface, and helps purify it from the inside out, leaving it smooth, soft and luminous.
