The key to healthy, glowing skin lies in a proper facial cleansing routine. If you have ever wondered why your skin still feels congested, tight or dull despite cleansing it every day, here’s everything you need to know about the art of facial cleansing and why it’s so essential for glowing, healthy skin.
Why is facial cleansing the first step to healthy skin
Your skin faces exposure to a variety of environmental factors daily—dirt, pollution, oil, sweat, sunscreen, makeup—all of which can clog pores and cause skin problems like acne, blackheads, and dullness. Cleansing helps to remove these impurities and prevent them from sitting on your skin all day or night.
But it’s not just about removing dirt. A proper cleanse also:
- Helps to balance your skin’s natural oils, preventing dryness, excess oil, and irritation.
- Boosts absorption of serums, moisturizers and treatments.
- Supports cell turnover, promoting fresher, smoother skin.
How to cleanse your face the right way
Facial cleansing is more than just a step in your skincare routine—it’s the foundation for achieving clean, clear, and glowing skin.
Choose the right cleanser
Most cleansers contain aggressive detergents that strip the skin of its natural oils, causing a deregulation of sebum production. As a result, after washing your face, your skin feels dry and tight.
It is important to use a cleanser that is gentle and respectful to the skin to avoid imbalance. RAINFOREST is formulated to respect y strengthen the cutaneous barrier and regulate sebum production. It deeply cleanses the skin, leaving it soft and velvety.

Consistency is key!
Remember to cleanse your skin twice a day. Stick with your cleansing routine, and you'll notice the positive difference in your skin's texture, clarity, and overall health.
Use lukewarm water
Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, while cold water may not effectively open up pores to allow for a deep clean. Lukewarm water is ideal as it gently cleanses without causing any irritation or dryness.
Gently massage
Apply your cleanser to your damp face and use your fingertips to gently massage it in circular motions. This not only helps to dislodge dirt and oil but also promotes blood circulation, leaving your skin looking fresher.
