Cleanse, Tone & Moisturise – The Golden Rule of Face Care

Do you not think it's the Golden Rule of Face Care? We at Living Jungle think it is. We can give you our opinion on the importance of cleansing, toning and moisturising, but we'd rather use an expert opinion, so at least you won't think that we're biased on this matter. 

According to a lifestyle & beauty blogger and vlogger, natashalee.info, cleansing, toning & moisturising are important simply because "Our skin is (the) largest organ on/in our body, (thus it is) the most abused by our environment lifestyle". Therefore, it is important to take care of your skin, especially the part(s) that are exposed, and the face is one of the most exposed parts of our skin. 

1. Cleansing
    natashalee.info says that our skin has a thin acidic film which protects and acts as a barrier to bacteria, viruses etc that could potentially infiltrate into our bodies. A good cleanser is ideally added fragrance-free and pH balanced. Don't use soap as it contains alkaline, which will counterbalance the slight acidic protective layer on our skin.

2. Toning
    natashalee.info says that toning helps to readjust the skin's pH in order for the acidic protective layer on the skin to remain. Get a very mild pH balanced toner. Toning also helps to close and tighten pores left open after cleansing.

3. Moisturising
    natashalee.info says moisturising is important simply because of one thing that we cannot stop: ageing. As we get older, our skin loses its natural moisturising properties, among others. Thus, this ends our Golden Rule of Face Care.

Which Face Mask Is Best For You?

Of course we're at Living Jungle going to say that our WhiteSynergy Effect PP Mask is the BEST for you. But, that constitutes bias in every form, and even though this is a Living Jungle blog, we think that it's best that our beloved readers are at least educated to know which type of face masks is best suited for their face. The information below is taken from womenshealthmag.com. It'll be simple, short and straight to the point ... and the point is that you know which face mask is suitable for your skin type.

1. Best for Normal and Dry Skin: Hydrogel Masks
    These masks comes in gel sheets that conform to the shape of your face. As they have a thin gel form, they lock in moisture better than facial cotton sheets. Avoid mud or clay masks that are super-drying if you have dry skin, despite the fact that you also suffer from acne. Instead, look for a hydrogel mask with hyaluronic acid that can improve skin hydration, among other things. 

2. Best for Normal and Oily Skin: Rubber Masks
    With a thick consistency and texture, rubber masks are also known as modelling masks. Follow the instructions on the product packaging to avoid a messy application. 

3. Best for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin: Clay Masks
    The excess sebum produced by your skin is regulated with the use of clay masks. They not only tighten pores but also smooth and soften the surface of your skin. 

4. Best for Anti-Aging: Water Sleeping Masks
    Due to the fact that your skin restores its needs such as cell turnover and renewal during night time while you are asleep, these type of masks are the best to use. You apply a coat of such face mask before you go to sleep and when you wake up, you'll find that your skin is moisturized and refreshed.

5. Best for Dark Spots: Exfoliating Masks
    The top layer of dead skin cells will be removed with a mask that has exfoliating properties. These type of masks have microbeads, so they actually work like a cleanser. You only need to massage them on your face and leave them on for the recommended time, after which you rinse them off with warm water. Exfoliating masks with lactic acid can help even out skin tone and lighten the appearance of irregular pigmentation.

So, we hope that the tips we've provided are useful. Nevertheless, we want to make sure that our beloved readers know that our WhiteSynergy Effect PP Mask is suitable for all skin types. Plus, it will help to whiten your skin, help reduce uneven skin tone or pigmentation and also works for people with anti-aging concerns. To have an idea of how to use it, have a look at this video
