How to clean your face correctly? M1 Select blog

To understand why facial cleansing and care is so important, we need to know a few basic things about our skin. Here you will find detailed information about how our skin is structured and what benefits the largest human organ has for us.

Dr. Med. Univ. Ulrike Plut, specialist in dermatology, venereology and doctor in the field of aesthetic medicine at M1 Med Beauty answered our questions about face cleansing.

DEAR DR. PLUT, WHY IS THOROUGH FACIAL CLEANSING SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR SKIN?

The thin facial skin is exposed to external factors such as sun, heat, cold and air pollution without protection every day. Excess sebum and dead skin cells can clog skin pores. Many women apply plenty of make-up and powder to their sensitive facial skin every day, which can further clog skin pores. Clogged pores in turn prevent the sebum produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands from draining away. The sebum therefore accumulates in the clogged pores. The proliferation of bacteria in these clogged pores can lead to inflammation.

A gentle but thorough daily cleansing removes dirt, excess sebum and dead skin cells. This not only gives the skin a radiant appearance, but also ensures that the skin can easily absorb the care applied afterwards.

WHAT SHOULD WE CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A DETERGENT? WHICH INGREDIENTS ARE RECOMMENDED?

Recommended ingredients include panthenol, allantoin and cornflower extract. Panthenol is tolerated well by the skin and is therefore suitable for sensitive skin. It has soothing and regenerative properties, supporting the skin barrier and improving its elasticity.

Allantoin soothes and cares for the skin. It accelerates cell formation, cell building and regeneration. Cleansing products containing allantoin have an additional skin care effect. They help to preserve natural moisture in the sensitive areas, such as around the eyes.

Cornflower extract has a skin-caring, astringent and an anti-inflammatory effect. It soothes skin irritations and any associated redness.

HOW DO YOU APPLY THE CLEANSING FOAM?

Der M1 SELECT CLEAN GENTLE CLEANSING FOAM ist ein milder, seifenfreier Reinigungsschaum, der sich für jedes Alter und jeden Hauttyp eignet. Die spezielle Technologie des Spenders verwandelt die Reinigungsflüssigkeit in einen seidig-zarten Schaum, der sich leicht verteilen lässt und sich wundervoll samtig auf der Haut anfühlt. Durch den Zusatz von Zitronensäure verschwinden Schüppchen und raue Hautstellen. Panthenol, Allantoin und Kornblumenextrakt wirken pflegend, regenerierend und beruhigend. Zudem kann antimikrobiell wirkendes Pirocton-Olamin das Hautbild bei fettiger Haut und Mischhaut verbessern.

HOW DO YOU APPLY THE CLEANSING FOAM?

Spread the foam evenly over the face, neck and décolleté and massage in with gentle, circular movements. Then, rinse off with plenty of lukewarm water so that no foam remains on the skin. Warning, the water should not be too hot!

Now the skin is prepared for the following care. The skin can optimally absorb serum and cream depending on the skin type.
