today entries is about proper cleansing, more like facial cleansing to achieve the "almost clean face". as most of us are expose to the dirty environment while we are out of home, or sometime even at home where construction work is unavoidable. dust, dirt and grease(sebum) is accumulated overtime. so do cleansing whenever you can, at most 2 time per day. why not over do it? Cleansing too often strips your skin of precious natural oils. Not cleansing regularly, particularly before you retire for the night, may lead to build-up thus blemishes may occur. if your a makeup lover like me, then the more you should cleanse your face thoroughly. i will share with you how to cleanse it in a more appropriate way later in this entry. as for choosing cleanser, you have to careful, you wouldn't want to get a product that doesn't do much for you yet destroying your skins. the big NO NO, is the forbidden soap bar. why no? it can be too harsh and drying and damage skin over time. a overly rich cleanser will clog your pores and causes blemishes. while a cleanser that makes your skin feel too dry will irritant your skins. so how to choose the correct cleanser for the different skin type? A cleanser for dry skin should contain nourishing herbs and oils. One for oily skin should include herbs that balance oil production and support clarity. Sensitive skin benefits from an ultra-gentle, fragrance-free, non-irritating cleanser. now for the adds-on part always use moderately warm water to start off by splashing some water on your face. why not hot/cold water? Hot water dries and damages skin over time, and cold water won’t dissolve and take away embedded dirt and grime as well as lukewarm water. make sure you wash your hand thoroughly before touching your face or your cleanser/cream. or you will be adding dirt's and germs into your products and working those into your face. for me, i will always wear a hairband to prevent my fringe from touching my face while doing any cleanser. after all this preparation, apply the cleanser at your finger tips and work it into foam using gentle massage stroke work it up to your face and all over your neck do not be too harsh and scrub it hard, why? Too much scrubbing will stretch skin and irritate it, especially the delicate skin around the eyes. gentle stroke is sufficient to help improve circulation as well as loosen those dirt and remove them at the same time. remember to raise thoroughly after cleanser, remaining cleanser will clog pores and attract dirt overtime. gently blog off the water with a clean soft towel. do not drag the towel all over your face as result will be wrinkle-ly. next up will be the toner, apply with cotton ball and dab gently over your face, this will help to remove any excess dirt's or sebum on your face as well as closing your pores, the final step will be applying your moisturizer. always remember to wash your face in the morning and start fresh and not let those sebum accumulate since last night to clog any pores.

always remember the finger tips, the five finger resemble the goal of a good skins, food, exercise, water, hygiene and sunscreen! to know more in detail of this 5 element watch the video, How to get beautiful skin

as for removing of makeup, in the video below, shes actually using a cleansing milk, but i would be more preferred to use cleansing oil, as oil can really remove all the traces of makeup even the toughest mascara. the step is to apply the oil all over your face and massage like the girl in the video did, after removing all the traces, rinse your hand and with water on your hand massage it again over your face, you should be able to see the oil turning into milky colour, that's the process whereby makeup are dried, its called delusion? i can't remember. as for the eyes, you have to use the proper eye makeup remover to remove as the eye is the most delicate area, you would want to be really careful with it. remember to watch the video, the lady is very entertaining! so basically that's some of my knowledge that is worth sharing. i will link some useful information on my side bar, till then, i should see you all again, toodles~
