How To Get The Best From Your Cleanser

Cleansing is the step number one in any skincare routine. It’s the most critical step of all. Either if it’s 10 or 3 steps, if this step is not done correctly, the other steps are compromised.

Many skin care experts say that people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars in serums, creams, and moisturizers but not in a cleanser, and expect that the serums will do the job itself.

All skin types need a cleanser, either dry or clean. If neglected, expect breakouts, greasy or dryness complexion.

Let’s make a checklist of things to be in mind, in the Cleansing step, so you can check and recycle your cleansing step.

Cleansing Face with Dirty Hands

How many of us, come home from the streets, and think how many times we went to the bathroom, how many public doorknobs we touched, if we took the subway, shake hands with other people.

Could sound crazy, but can you control where did other people do with their hands?

In today’s world, our smartphones are responsible for bringing bacteria, closer to our face. And many times we don’t even think about it.

So, before starting your skincare routine, try washing hands before touching the cleanser. You will be surprised by the effect on your skin and how grateful your complexion will be.

Wrong Cleanser Will Never Deliver The Results Expected

Not all cleansers are made equal. The best ones have a science behind it. Ones are made for acne, others for dry skin. If we misuse them, like using an acne cleanser on dry skin, you will be overdrying the dry skin.

There’s the right cleanser for every treatment and the ones that are for the everyday use.

The primary purpose of a cleanser is to remove the sebum, dirt, dust, pollution from the pores, so the skin can be ready to receive the upcoming products and penetrate on the skin.

When we say that there is science behind the skin, it’s true. The formulation has to preserve the pH (level of alkaline or acid) on the skin. The pH will determine how oily or dryness the skin will be to receive any treatment.

To nail down without mistake, a perfect one is the X3 Chamomile Balancing Cleanser.

It’s Made with cutting-edge actives and natural ingredients in a medical grade formulation.

• Chamomile and Ginger essential oils act as a natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic,
• Marine Extracts that will boost hydration and collagen production while swapping pollutants
• Hydrolized Algin – A pollutant absorber 30x smaller than pores that will help protect the skin from free-radicals caused by from pollution

And suitable for all skin types including post-surgeries ones.

Are You Looking For The Water Temperature Is Too High?

I know that it looks like the right thing to do and much more comfortable to wash the face with hot water.

But the reality of the matter that it’s not. Hot water can easily damage the skin removing the natural protective barrier of sebum we have on the skin.

When this natural barrier is removed, the skin automatically produces more sebum to compensate the overdry situation, turning the skin vulnerable for breakouts.

Prefer lukewarm water instead. It will save you from disappointment and effort to reach the perfect complexion we always look for.

Exfoliating The Skin More Than Necessary Is Not Good

There’s no doubt that exfoliating the skin is one of the best quick ways to eliminate dead skin cells. It is also the way to stimulate the skin turnover.

However when we exfoliate more than once a week, could become an issue.

Especially when we are using grainy particles to do that. The skin needs at least a week to recover from peeling. If we do it too much, we may create damage patches in some areas that can turn into uneven spots in the future.

One of the things that we see as successful action is after four consecutive days of using Retinol at night (X3 Age-Defy PM Serum), exfoliate with a gentle scrub and natural cleanser and then for the next three straight days use a good Glycolic Gel. (X3 Clarifying Glycolic Toner).

It’s the best combination of removing dead skin cells, promoting quick and healthy skin cell turnover.

The X3 Clarifying Glycolic Toner is made with Algae Extracts and Guarana Extracts, to provide an excellent exfoliation, without damaging the skin, while hydrating and fighting inflammation of any kind.

For the skin cell turnover X3 Age-Defy PM Serum, is made with 0,5% Retinol and Glycolipids, which are the same components found in the uppermost layer of the skin. In a Medical Grade Formulation, is the best way to guarantee purity and safety to the skin.

Using Cleanser in the Morning Is A Must

I know we are always in a rush and many times we may skip the skincare routine and jump straight to the makeup. Who never? I learned the wrong way. I woke up one day, with a massive breakout, that I had to see my dermatologist. She asked me questions and boom!

She said that we MUST cleanse in the morning, especially when we don’t wash our hair the evening or night before. All the pollutants go straight to the pillow, then transferred to our skin.

After the makeup, mixed with contaminants and so, clogged pores… there’s the essentials of cleansing.

And again, it’s the best way to guarantee healthy good looking skin. Our Anti-Aging Skincare Regimen takes less than 5 minutes, and it’s loaded with the essentials that healthy skin needs. Check it out here. Then you’re ready to rock for the day!

Are You Applying Cleanser Correctly?

Make sure that you’re using the cleanser correctly. A good cleanser has actives and ingredients to act on our skin. It’s not only soap! Cleansing is the most essential step in a skincare routine.

It’s an excellent opportunity to massage the face, especially the eye contour, in the morning, to help flush out the retained fluids in the area. The actives also can sit do their job on the skin.

Take Care Of Your Skin, And The Skin Will Give You Lot’s Of Joy

The skin is a delicate organ just like the others we have in our body. It’s not a complicated thing taking care of our skin.

First, we need to cleanse, unclogging pores and preparing the skin to absorb better the nutrients in the deep layers of the skin and then help us show up with a radiant, youthful glowing skin.

After the cleansing and treating then we come with the moisturizing. The moisturizer will lock in the hydration as much as possible.

A moisturizer is like healthy food to our body. We all need it on the skin so it could be in good shape.

A good moisturizer should deliver protection, not only for dehydration of the skin but also shielding the skin against free-radicals caused by UVA and UVB, the number one factor for premature aging.

The X3 Firming Peptide Cream, which makes the third step of our Anti-Aging Regimen is made with two of the most powerful antioxidants available in the market.

Chromabright and Lipochroman. Protecting from oxygen and nitrogen free radical formation. No other antioxidants protect against nitrogen free radicals).

Improving the appearance of skin aging changes including wrinkles, uneven pigment, loss of elasticity and skin redness.
