Welcome the new year with renewed skin

Welcome the new year with renewed skin

Skin detox is a routine that is recommended to be adopted for a period of at least one month in order to help the skin to regenerate better, obtain its need of hydration, maintain its vitality, and reduce the expansion of its pores. This routine begins with morning skin care by sprinkling it with thermal water before wiping it with clean cotton circles to rid it of the secretions accumulated on its surface during the night and refresh it. In the case of oily skin, it is recommended to clean it in the morning with a soap suitable for its nature, micellar water, or a foaming gel with a soft formula. After that, it is recommended to apply an anti-pollution or oxygen-rich day cream and serum, and it is better to be equipped with a sun protection factor to protect the skin from free radicals, and not to neglect the use of a cream for the eye contour.

In the evening, this routine begins with removing make-up and then cleansing the skin with milk and lotion, or a foamy product that has a watery, oily, or creamy formula, depending on the skin type. This step is followed by a gentle exfoliating scrub for daily use only for combination and oily skin, followed by a serum and night cream with detoxifying properties. This routine is accompanied by applying a gentle exfoliating scrub to the skin before applying a cleansing mask enriched with detoxifying properties that deeply purifies the skin. Sensitive skins can be subjected to all these steps, provided that products that suit their nature are used. It is also recommended to use steam baths every two weeks that can be applied at home to help expand pores and extract blackheads easily.
