How to use a facial cleansing gel ?

Pollution, dust, stress, sebum production—our skin is under attack every day. It builds up impurities that over time can lead to blemishes and contribute to dull or damaged skin. To effectively remove impurities and let your skin breathe, it is essential to cleanse it morning and night with a suitable gel or cleansing foam.

But how do you use a cleansing gel face to keep your skin soft and healthy?

Terre de Mars presents the steps to follow to use facial cleansers correctly.

Why use a facial cleansing gel?

Whatever your skin type—normal, oily, or dry—it needs to be cleansed morning and evening. Indeed, between impurities, perspiration, excess sebum, and makeup, our skin quickly becomes smothered by tiny particles that clog the pores. If the skin is not healthy, is prone to oiliness, or is blemish-prone, spots and other comedones can quickly appear.

Because our skin is fragile, it is therefore recommended to cleanse it with a cleansing gel face, a cleansing foam or even micellar water. The facial cleansing gel or eau céleste micellar water should be used morning and evening.

Indeed, it is necessary to cleanse the skin in the morning upon waking to remove sweat and excess sebum produced during the night. In the evening, this step helps purify the skin by freeing it from all impurities, such as pollution, makeup, and residue present in the surrounding air.

For a deep and effective cleanse, it is necessary to use a purifying facial cleansing gel, a cleansing foam, or failing that, a micellar water for:

• Purify the skin by removing impurities and other pollutants
• Remove dead skin cells to enhance cell renewal
• Activate blood microcirculation by making circular motions
• Reduce the appearance of imperfections on the face by limiting excess sebum
• Optimize facial cream application with good skin oxygenation.

For sensitive skin, it is necessary to use a gentle cleansing gel. Our Reddition body cleansing gel is enriched with Aloe Vera to leave the skin perfectly clean without drying it out.

How do you use a facial cleansing gel?

Using a facial cleansing gel is very easy, but it still requires following a few hygiene guidelines. The first step and prerequisite before cleansing your face is to have clean hands, since your purifying cleanser or cleansing foam is applied with your fingers.

Then, follow the TdeM instructions:

• Moisten your face
• Place a small amount of your cleansing gel in the palm of your hand and work it into a lather
• Apply the cleansing gel to the entire face, not forgetting the neck and nape
• Use circular motions for a gentle little exfoliation
• Rinse with lukewarm water and make sure you have thoroughly cleansed your skin
• Tighten your skin’s pores by doing a second rinse with cold water.
• Gently pat your face dry with a towel

Your skin is now perfectly clean and ready to receive your resilience face cream to plump it up. And since cleansing the skin with a cleansing gel or foam isn’t just for women or combination to oily skin, men should also cleanse their face morning and evening. Afterwards, they can apply an aftershave treatment.

Which facial cleansing gel should you choose?

Choosing the right cleansing gel is important, as it must suit your skin type: combination to oily skin, blemish-prone skin, sensitive skin. However, keep in mind that its composition is just as important. So, certain ingredients like those contained in the Élégance Cosmos Organic cleansing gel are preferable:

• Aloe Vera to nourish and soften the face
• Rosemary to purify the skin
• Caffeine extract for a boost and freshness

Next, choose a cleansing treatment suited to your skin type.

• For sensitive skin, it is essential to use gentle products that hydrate and repair the epidermis. Creamy textures should also be preferred. Élégance cleansing gel is perfectly suited to sensitive skin.
• For oily skin, choose skincare that helps regulate sebum. It is necessary to provide gentle, careful cleansing. A cleansing foam or a natural soap followed by the application of our céleste micellar water will leave the skin perfectly clean.
• For combination to oily skin, it is essential to find a cleansing gel that targets sebum production while preventing the skin from drying out. Thanks to its exfoliating coffee powder, the reddition soap bar deeply cleans skin cells by freeing them from impurities.
• For dry skin, the choice of cleansing gel should focus on its moisturizing power. The goal is not just to hydrate the skin, but rather to repair it. The texture should be rich and creamy to help keep the skin supple. A cleansing gel enriched with Aloe Vera will nourish and soften the skin with every use without drying it out even more.

As you’ll have understood, cleansing your skin morning and evening every day is essential to maintain it. Using a facial cleanser takes only a few minutes, but helps keep skin healthy and perfectly clean. It is also a preliminary step before a more complex beauty routine, or even a complete routine based on layering.

Lastly, cleansing your skin is a restorative moment when you can completely let go. So, if you still aren’t taking the time to remove your makeup properly or cleanse your face when you wake up, it’s not too late to change your habits and discover TdeM products, thoughtfully created with your skin in mind.
