Skin Care Tools And Equipment You Should Know
Skincare is a huge, complicated industry full of products promising to do all kinds of things for your skin. But which ones work? And what are the best products for getting flawless skin?
Skincare tools and equipment
1. Cleansers
Cleansers are used to clean off dirt, makeup, and other impurities from the skin. There are two types of cleansers: foaming and non-foaming.
Foaming cleansers need to be massaged into the skin for a minute or so before being rinsed away. Foam cleansers are more effective than non-foaming ones because they can remove more dirt and make-up from the face, which results in clearer, brighter skin.
2. Exfoliation
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Scrubs and Gels are used for this. Scrubs are made from natural ingredients, such as sugar or salt, while gels use acids such as alpha-hydroxy acids or glycolic acid.
Facial scrubs need to be rinsed off after application because they can be very harsh on the skin. Make sure the pH of the scrub is below 5.0 to avoid skin burns and irritation.
3. Toners
Toners can help clear off any residue left on the skin after cleansing or toning. There are two types: astringents and hydrators. Astringents, such as witch hazel, can help shrink pores by drying them out and preventing breakouts, blackheads, and acne. Hydrators, such as rosewater or aloe vera, tend to help moisturize the skin and prevent dryness.
4. Essence
Essences are similar to toners in function, but they are generally a lighter product that is meant to be applied each night before going to bed.
There are two types of essences: sleeping and day. Sleeping essences are meant for daytime use, as they contain ingredients that can help restore the skin’s moisture. Day essences contain ingredients that help prevent damage caused by the sun and pollution.
5. Serums
Serums are products meant to be applied after toning and before moisturizing because they help increase skin elasticity, firmness, and brightness. There are two types of serums: emulsions, which are made of oils and water, or suspensions, which are made mostly of water.
Conclusion
Skincare tools and equipment are essential for achieving good skin. The products you use can help your skin look clearer, brighter, and more moisturized. But you should also keep in mind that products are only one part of the equation when it comes to good skincare: the general health of your body is just as, if not more, important than the products you use.
