Facial cleansing: why is it important to clean our face at least once a day?

1. Why is daily facial cleansing recommended?

Many people believe that if they don't wear makeup, there's no need to clean their face at the end of the day. However, this is not true. The skin is a living organ that constantly secretes sebum and regenerates cells.

Daily facial cleansing removes not only cosmetics but also accumulated dust, bacteria, and dead cells that prevent the skin from functioning properly. Without this step, pores get clogged, which is a major cause of imperfections.

2. Key benefits of proper skin cleansing

Regular facial hygiene brings long-term benefits that go far beyond surface cleanliness:

  • Prevention of acne and blackheads: Regular removal of excess sebum prevents the growth of bacteria in the pores.

  • Hydration and balance: Quality cleansing products maintain the skin's pH balance, preventing both excessive dryness caused by hard water and excessive oiliness.

  • Stimulation of microcirculation: Massaging movements during washing improve blood circulation, giving the face a healthy and rosy look.

3. How does environmental pollution affect the skin?

In an urban environment, our skin is subjected to constant oxidative stress. Fine dust particles are so small they easily penetrate the pores. They generate free radicals that destroy collagen and lead to premature aging and wrinkles.

Effective facial cleansing at least once a day (in the evening) neutralizes these harmful influences and allows the skin to recover while you sleep.

Why choose InaEssentials cleansing foam?

  • Organic Lemon Balm hydrolat: Has soothing, anti-inflammatory, and mild astringent properties. Helps reduce redness and soothe irritated skin. Rich in antioxidants, it helps with sun damage.

  • Geranium Essential Oil: Balances sebum production, tones the skin, and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and adaptogenic properties. Adds a natural floral scent and has mild anti-aging properties.

  • Prebiulin FOS (Prebiotic): Strengthens the natural skin barrier, nourishes "good" bacteria on the skin, helping to maintain a balanced microbiome.

  • Aloe Vera leaf powder: Soothes irritation, relieves redness, and aids in healing and deep hydration. Supports the prebiotic profile of the product.

  • No harsh ingredients: Our formula is gentle, leaving the skin hydrated and soft, not "squeaky" dry.

The combination of these ingredients turns washing into an aromatherapeutic experience that removes stress and tension. The cloud-like foam is gentle on the skin, and the high-quality pump dispenses exactly as much as you need. 💚

5. Step-by-step: How to clean your face correctly?

To get the most out of the facial cleansing foam, follow these steps:

  1. Wet your face with lukewarm water: Hot water can cause redness.

  2. Two pumps are enough: Spread the foam with light circular motions for about 60 seconds. Pay attention to the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).

  3. Don't forget the jaw and neck: Bacteria that cause acne often accumulate there.

  4. Dry with a clean towel: Always use a separate face towel and change it frequently.

6. "I only wash with water" and other mistakes

  • Mistake 1: Water is enough. Water cannot break down fat-soluble impurities (sebum and sunscreen). It's like washing a greasy pan without soap.

  • Mistake 2: The skin should be "squeaky" clean. If you feel tightness after washing, you've destroyed the protective barrier. Cleansing should be gentle.

  • Mistake 3: Oily skin should be washed aggressively. This only causes the glands to produce even more oil as a defense reaction.

7. Frequently asked questions about facial cleansing

  1. How often should I wash my face?

    For most skin types, cleansing at least once a day (in the evening) is mandatory. If you have oilier skin or your face gets dirtier, morning and evening cleansing is recommended.

  2. Can the cleansing foam replace makeup remover?

    The foam is not recommended for direct makeup removal. It is best suited for cleansing the face after removing makeup, effectively removing residual impurities and preparing the skin for subsequent care. The eye area should be avoided, as it may cause slight discomfort if it gets into the eyes.

  3. Is the foam suitable for sensitive skin? Yes, the combination of lemon balm and geranium is specially selected to soothe reactive skin. The high concentration of prebiotic has a beneficial effect on oily and acne-prone skin, helping to maintain a healthy and balanced appearance. At the same time, geranium oil and aloe vera extract nourish and soothe dry skin, while lemon balm water refreshes and restores.

  4. Can I use it morning and night? Yes! In the evening it removes impurities, and in the morning it washes away toxins secreted by the skin during sleep. 1–2 pumps are enough for one wash, making the product very economical and suitable for daily care.

  5. What is the pH balance of the foam? The natural pH of the foam is between 5.8-6.8.

Healthy skin starts with clean skin. Investing 2 minutes every night in proper cleansing will pay off with years of youth and a radiant complexion.
