A good beauty routine begins (always) with cleansing the face. It’s the best way to remove surface dirt and make-up residue, but also a fundamental step to ensure that the rest of the cosmetics can fulfill their mission. There is no valid excuse for not using soap, not even if we have a skin condition, such as rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis, since there are numerous formats that adapt to the needs, demands and pockets of the users. Also specific techniques, such as double cleansing or toner wash methodare of great help to sanitize the skin at least twice a day, helping us to keep pimples, blackheads and other eruptions resulting from poor cleaning.

And it is that, if we are one of those who only apply ourselves to routines when we see what the lack of consistency does to our skin, you should know that not washing your face can have short-term consequences (hello, adult acne!) long (dirt prevents good oxygenation of the skin, making it age before its time). Avoid it, as far as possible (we are one of those who believe in the well aging), is in our hands and, for this, we must always have the best ingredients on hand.

Hyaluronic acid if we want to enhance the hydration of the face, azelaic acid if we want to combat pimples or salicylic acid if we want open pores so that serums and creams penetrate better. Each of the assets included in the soaps has a specific function that it is convenient to know to choose according to the needs of our skin and we have selected some of our favorite proposals so that, once and for all, you hit so much with your cleansing gel… that you do not want to stop using it!
