When it comes to skincare, selecting the right products can get very confusing, especially for the casual consumer. Choosing among a plethora of different types of cremes, serums, masks, scrubs and cleansers is easier once you get a consultation with your esthetician, but meanwhile, I trust that this simple blog entry FAQ will be helpful!
What’s the best product to use? A gel? A foam? A cream? Mousse? Milks? Washes?
There are many types of cleansers available on the market, and there is no one perfect product for all. Typically, older clients prefer milky cleansers, because they don’t strip the skin of natural oils, and moisturize as they clean. Younger clients may prefer a foamy cleanser, which makes the face feel “squeaky clean” and tight.
Different cleansers are
made with ingredients added specifically to treat certain skin types.
For example, aloe and chamomile are added to soothe sensitive skin, salicylic and AHA to treat oily, and acne-prone skin. A knowledgeable esthetician will gladly suggest the best cleanser for her client!
What are the signs that clients haven’t been cleansing properly at home?
Blackheads, whiteheads, and milia are tell-tale signs that the client hasn’t been cleansing properly
at home. It is very important to always remove make-up before bed, and
skipping this easy step can cause clogged pores, wrinkles, and
blemishes.
Should clients ever do their own “deep cleanses”?
At-home experiments often lead to burned faces, scarring, and redness. It is best to leave the deep-cleanses to the professionals!
