In addition, you will need: mild cleansing gel or lotion, cleansing lotion, moisturizing lotion, cotton pads, soft, clean towel or paper towels, and five minutes of time in the morning and evening.

Why every day?

Our skin is a natural line of defense against environmental factors, such as different weather conditions, bad ecology, and so on. Also present in the air of pollutants, the pores of the skin become clogged with make-up, then, sebum. All this builds on the skin permanently. The particles of dirt from the environment mixed with dead skin cells. If the skin is not cleaned, the pores begin to breed bacteria and fungi, which eventually lead to infections. It is therefore necessary twice a day to clean and moisturize the skin - it will prevent the proliferation of potentially harmful microorganisms.

Cleansers are designed to remove dirt, sweat, sebum and oils, and skin by the action of surfactants. Surfactants or surface active agents surrounding the particle contaminants, dissolved them in the water, after which they are washed off the skin with water. Also surfactants contribute to the natural process of exfoliation. However, they can also cause damage to the stratum corneum of the skin - the upper part of the epidermis.

The consequences of the impact of surfactants can be:

• The feeling of tightness of the skin after washing;
• Dry skin;
• Damage to the protective barrier of the skin;
• Redness;
• Irritation;
• Itching.

Cleansers interaction with proteins of the stratum corneum

Corneocytes - are protein complexes formed keratin filaments. The surfactants contained in soaps and other cleansers, bind to these proteins, allowing them to be saturated with moisture, and to some extent to increase. In this cleanser ingredients will be easier to penetrate the lower layers of the skin where they may act on nerve endings, which in some cases leads to irritation and itching. When the water evaporates, in corneocytes it is still less water than before the exposure of surfactants. In the end, the use of cleaning agents may reduce the level of natural moisturizing factor (NMF) in the stratum corneum.

Interaction cleansers with lipids of the stratum corneum

The exact mechanism of the effect of surfactants on the lipids in the stratum corneum is not yet clear. It is assumed that certain surfactants penetrate between the lipid bilayers, which makes bilayers more susceptible to the effects of various substances. Sometimes this happens as a result of damage bilayers. Surfactants may also damage the structure of the lipid, because of which decrease lipids in the skin.

The impact of cleansers on the pH of the stratum corneum

All surfactants can be divided into two broad categories: one to be surfactants contained in the soap in the other - those that are part of the synthetic detergents. Surfactants of the first category more alkaline (pH = 10) than the second (pH 7 or less). It is known that the higher the pH of a cleansing agent, the greater the likelihood of skin irritation when it is used, although why this happens is not yet clear.
