The importance of facial cleansing
We have already mentioned in other articles that to take good care of the skin on our face, the first step is to pay close attention to facial cleansing products .
The skin on our face is on average 5 times thinner than that on our body. This means that it needs special care.
Furthermore , the skin on our face is the only part of the entire body that is always uncovered , which means that it is always exposed to pollution, solar radiation, and other free radicals that age us so much.
That is why it is very important to always clean your face properly before applying our facial cream for men .
If we do not clean our face well before applying our facial cream , we will be mixing all the dirt and pollution that has been accumulating on our face with the facial cream . Especially if you live in an urban area or a large city with high levels of pollution.
In addition, our body expels toxins through our skin's perspiration, and if we do not clean our face before using a facial cream , what we will do is reintroduce those toxins back into our body.
However, we cannot use any product to perform a good facial cleansing . Because the skin on our face is five times thinner than that on our body, and because it is the only part of the body that is always exposed to external agents, it is very important that the cleansing is as respectful as possible , regardless of the type of skin you have (oily, dry...).
We will talk in other articles about facial cleansing according to the type of skin you have, but in any case we always recommend using a facial cleanser that :
1. It is formulated without sulfates
Sulfates are the ingredient that acts as a detergent, meaning they have the ability to remove dirt from our skin or any other surface. However, sulphates should not be used in facial cleansing products, as sulphates can be too harsh on the skin on our face.
2. Has a pH of 5.5
That is, it should have the same pH as our skin. If we use a soap with a very high pH, we will destroy our hydrolipidic layer, or acid mantle, which is our skin's natural protective layer .
We do not see this layer of natural protection, but it is there, and it is very important not to unbalance it in order to keep our skin healthy and prevent the appearance of redness or our skin becoming increasingly sensitive .
If your facial cleanser also contains dermoprotective ingredients (such as Aloe Vera, Chamomile or other soothing plant extracts...), even better.
We recommend a specific facial cleanser for men , preferably 100% natural or certified organic like our Extra Gent's , which is formulated only with plant extracts.
It is a very detoxifying cleanser, that is, a great purifier that cleanses deeply , since men tend to have open pores and a tendency to have blackheads. Our Extra Gen'ts is not only a deep facial cleanser for men's skin, but it is also a facial cleanser that is very respectful of your skin to prevent redness , peeling or your skin becoming unbalanced unnecessarily.
In addition, its citrus fragrance based on 100% pure essential oils enhances its detox function, turning your facial cleansing into a unique sensory experience.
Our Extra Gent's is also a 2-in-1. Not only is it a facial cleanser , but it is also a great shaving cream , as its creamy texture softens the hair of our beard much better than any conventional foam.
