A facial cleansing is a routine that seeks to deeply balance, oxygenate, and decongest the facial skin, as daily washing with soap and water is usually not enough to completely remove all the impurities that accumulate there.
Learn how to perform a facial cleansing yourself, from the comfort of your home, with natural dermocosmetic products.
Remove your makeup with Funat cleansing cream. This is made with avocado, rice, and mineral salt extracts, ideal for nourishing and removing makeup from eyes, skin, and lips. You can apply and remove it using cotton pads. This step is performed daily.
Wash your face with the facial liquid soap and rinse with lukewarm water. This soap is made with chamomile and cucumber, ingredients that cleanse, soften, and refresh the skin. This step is performed daily.
Exfoliate. For this step, use the facial exfoliating gel, made with apricot seeds and cape gooseberry extract. In this step, dead cells are removed, and nutrients and antioxidants are provided. Apply with your fingertips and massage in a circular motion without applying too much pressure. Then rinse. This step is performed 1 to 2 times per week
Choose it according to your skin type: if you have oily-prone skin, you will use the volcanic mud mask, and if you have dry-prone skin, you will use the nourishing yogurt mask.
Whichever you choose, you must apply it generously over the face and let it act for 20 minutes; then rinse with lukewarm water. This step is performed 1 to 2 times per week.
Tone. You should use a toner according to your skin type. You will use the lemongrass toner if your skin tends to be oily, or the rose water if it tends to be dry. You can apply it directly or with the help of a cotton pad. No rinsing required. This step should be performed daily in the morning and at night.
Finish by applying a moisturizing or hydrating cream. For this step, you can choose between the grape regenerating cream, the soy nourishing cream or the lily and mother-of-pearl cream. Keep in mind that if you choose the latter, you must apply it only at night. This step is performed daily.
