How To Start With Facial Clean-Ups?
Facial cleanup can be easily performed at home using your essential skincare products like cleanser, toner, cleansing oil, and exfoliator. Also, try to avoid products that contain harsh chemicals. Below we have shared easy steps for you to start with regular facial cleanups, wait no more, and let's begin with the first basic step.
1. Cleansing
This step is vital if you want benefits from your cleanups. First, it would help if you get rid of any dirt or grime sitting on your face. Therefore, opt for the double cleansing method here to make sure your skin is squeaky clean. We suggest you use cleaning oil, or milk, or micellar water to eliminate the dirt from your face. Then, follow up with a mild cleanser to remove all the residue left behind, now pat the skin dry with a soft towel. Do not use hot water as it may dry down your skin.
You can try the Rose Hip Radiance Cleanser by Mello Beauty, as it contains vitamins A and C to cleanse your face without making it feel stretchy deeply.
2. Exfoliation
Do you know your skin sheds dead skin cells every day? Those skin cells sit on the surface of the skin and make your skin appear dull and uneven. Therefore, Exfoliating will help get rid of dead skin cells from the skin and remove the impurities from the pores. However, do not repeat exfoliating step every day; over-exfoliating will make your skin red and inflamed. So, do it twice a week only to get smooth and refined skin.
You can either use a face scrub or chemical peel to eliminate the dead skin cells in this step. First, take a required amount of scrub and gently massage in circular motions for few minutes. Focus on the problematic areas only. Next, use Amber Honey Cleansing Scrub by Mello Beauty enriched with honey and vanilla to provide mild exfoliation while removing the dead cells and impurities.
3. Steaming
After you cleanse your face, use a steamer to steam your face. For this, you need to keep your face some inches away from the hot water bowl or steamer and then cover your head with a towel. Try not to steam your face for more than 5 minutes; for some extra moisturizing and relaxing effect, you can even add few drops of your favorite essential oil such as rose, lavender, or sandalwood to the water. Steaming is super beneficial for oily skin as it will help to get rid of whiteheads and blackheads.
4. Applying Face Mask
As your skin is cleansed correctly now, your face pack/mask ingredients will go deeper into your skin to work like magic. This step will help to close the pores that end up opening in the steaming and cleansing process. First, choose the face mask according to your skin type and apply it all over your face and neck; now, relax and leave it on until the pack becomes semi-dry. Then, rinse it off with cold water and pat dry.
5. Toning
As your pores have fully absorbed the goodness of all skincare products, you need to balance your skin's pH levels now. Use a mild toner according to your skin type; it will make your skin feel rejuvenated and hydrated instantly. We suggest you try Marine Balancing Toner by Mello Beauty that will moisturize and calms down your skin. This step is crucial, especially when you are doing the facial cleanup. Spritz the toner all over your face and neck generously, let your skin absorb it thoroughly, and don't wash your face afterward.
6. Moisturizing
Moisturizing is the last step in your cleanup that will help to lock the moisture and seal the goodness of all cleanup steps into your skin. It will leave a radiant and beautiful glow on your face. Choose a nourishing cream according to your skin type; even you can use a moisturizing serum or anti-aging aging night cream. Take a required amount of your moisturizing serum or cream and apply it all over your face and neck; gently massage the product in an upward circular motion for better absorption.
