October has arrived, and Halloween is getting closer, but there is something that is getting even closer… and it is the temperature change. This can especially be noticed on the scalp and skin, so it is crucial to start taking care of yourself even more.
Have you heard of double facial cleansing? Many people do not know the great importance of cleaning your face thoroughly.
Double facial cleansing is a daily routine that more and more people are joining and that is carried out in two simple steps. It is a facial cleansing method in which two products are used: an oil-based cleanser (oil, butter, milk) and a water-based cleanser (soap, gel, etc). In the first step, the remains of makeup, sunscreen, pollution, excess sebum… in general, dirt that is soluble in fats are removed, and in the second step, the remains of the first, and water-soluble dirt, such as sweat, are removed.
But let’s talk about this method step by step. First of all, you need to use a good oil-based cleanser that allows you to remove makeup and the remains of those cosmetics that you applied in your morning routine, among other residues and pollution particles. Contrary to what you may believe, you should not remove this product from your skin after use, the rinsing will be carried out after applying the water-based cleanser. It is recommended to make circular movements, insisting on the contour of the eyes and the eyelashes with gentle massages to remove the mascara.
Our recommendation is that if you have sensitive and oily combination skin, Cosmonatura’s azulene make-up remover emulsion is ideal, as it helps to regenerate the skin and gives it luminosity. For sensitive skin but more on the dry side we recommend the same brand, oatmeal emulsion as it has moisturizing properties and is perfect for super sensitive skin. Finally, for all skin types or normal skin, the best would be Cosmonatura’s make-up remover milk, also containing Aloe Vera, argan and calendula and linden extracts, also suitable for sensitive skin as it gently and effectively removes dirt.
Then it would be to use your usual facial cleanser or find a good one that is well suited to your skin type to thoroughly remove all the accumulated dirt from all day.
The goal of cleansing and removing make-up from your face is to have skin that is free of impurities, that can breathe and regenerate properly, and that it looks healthier. As we have already mentioned, it is very important to remove make-up and wash your face, it becomes an essential part of your beauty routine.
Now it’s time to focus on scalp care, little is said about how hair suffers in these autumn seasons; Between changes in temperature and rains, the hair ends up damaged and without strength. This is a good time to cut your hair and heal the ends.
A little advice to have shiny and healthy hair is not to exceed 20 degrees when you are washing your hair and use colder water when doing the last rinse, as it improves blood circulation and closes the cuticles and pores of the hair. scalp to prevent dehydration.
It is also important to know your hair type (oily or mixed hair, normal hair, dry or sensitive hair), since using a shampoo that is suitable for the conditions of your hair makes a lot of difference, apart from helping it to heal more easily. We again recommend the Cosmonatura shampoos, they have a wide variety of shampoos for all types of hair; dyed, gray hair, anti-dandruff, frequently used, among many more.
Finally we are going to talk about body cleansing. Actually solid soap has been used forever, we are not discovering anything new. Our grandmothers and mothers already used it, but when liquid gels and the abusive use of plastics appeared, bar soaps were banished. But… Did you know that the pH of solid soaps is more neutral than that of a liquid shower gel? They are usually enriched with essential oils and inspiring ingredients such as argan oil, rosehip oil or, if you have more sensitive skin, glycerin with aloe vera.
