Is It Really Important To Cleanse Tone and Moisturize?

If you have done any research on acne or any skin care regimen, especially if it’s related the skin on your face, I’m sure you might have heard that you need to CLEANSE TONE and MOISTURISE. But what do those things really mean and do they actually work?

CLEANSE

Well let’s talk about cleansing, this is basically washing the face to get rid of dirt, dust, bacteria etc. It can be done with over the counter cleansers, you usually get at your local store. But the idea of cleansing is basically to rid the face of unwanted matter that may have come from the environment and can lead to clogging of pores and the build up of bacteria and we don’t want that. So there you see the importance of cleansing. Its pivotal that cleansing be done on a daily basis. Some say cleanse twice per day, but I say cleanse as you see fit taking into consideration whether you face is over drying or not, because if that is the case you may need to cleanse just once per day or use a different cleanser. One that is less intense.

TONE

Toners are usually referred to as astringent because they soothe and tighten the skin. They are formulated to remove excess oil from the skin and also reduce the appearance of large pores. So in essence toners act as a compressor for the pores so that they are not left open for them to be blocked by any pore clogging agent, (dirt, fat etc)

MOISTURISE

Consistent use of acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can cause dry and flaky skin. Moisturizers balance out our complexion by adding essential moisture without making your skin oily. It reduces this dry rough skin and also diminishes the appearance wrinkles if you have any. Some facial cleansers may also dry out skin in their attempt to unclog pores and remove dirt, so even healthy skin needs moisturizer.

So to answer the question,'Is it really important to CLEANSE, TONE and MOISTURISE' YES it is actually very important to CLEANSE, TONE & MOISTURISE, and to do so on a daily basis. You will love the look of your skin if you do.
