Be it day or night, morning or evening, or any part of the day, taking care of your face is crucial. Typically, for skincare, people follow a basic routine to keep their skin well-maintained and take care of it. Several steps and products are involved in a daily skincare routine. Whether it’s an AM or PM routine, the basic steps will always remain consistent.
One such ritual in the skincare routine is cleansing (คลีนซิ่ง, which is the term in Thai). The importance of cleansing goes beyond routine care. It should be done regularly to keep away the impurities and dirt that get collected daily.
What is cleansing?
Cleansing, as the work suggests, is about cleaning your face to maintain its health and cleanliness. It is a cleaning process that removes makeup, sunscreen, or any other substances applied to your face. Cleaning the extra layer on your face helps the facial skin to stay healthy and fresh.
While we use sunscreen and makeup products daily, cleaning them is also equally crucial. If not cleaned properly, then that may lead to clogged pores, facial tanning, and various other issues.
How to cleanse your face regularly?
Cleansing is a process, and it should be done properly to do it justice. The best way to cleanse your face is by following these three simple and easy steps.
Step 1
Splash some lukewarm water on your face and gently remove as many impurities as possible.
Step 2
Use a face wash, cleansing oil, cleansing water, gel, or even cleansing balm to clean your face. Gently rub it on your face to remove excess dirt and impurities for at least 2-5 minutes. Gently rub the face in circular motions to keep it simple.

How to choose a suitable cleanser?
The choice of selecting a cleanser is dependent on the type of skin you have. For different skin types, various types of face wash or cleansers are recommended to keep the skin healthy. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to help you understand he perfect cleansing product for your skin type.
While keeping your face clean is essential, it is equally important to follow the other steps in your skincare routine to maintain healthy and radiant skin.
