How to do facial cleansing at home?

Learning how to do facial cleansing at home is the first step in taking care of your skin effectively, keeping it fresh, glowing and healthy every day

With a simple routine and the right products, you can eliminate impurities and residues without having to resort to professional treatments. All you need to do is follow a few steps to get visible results at home. In this guide, we will take you through the essential steps and recommend the best products to make the most of your beauty.

Why do facial cleansing at home

Facial skin is exposed daily to smog, makeup residue, excess sebum and impurities that can clog pores and cause blemishes. Regular cleansing helps prevent these problems, improving the skin's texture and making it more receptive to subsequent treatments.

Although treatments at the beautician are helpful, a home routine is a practical and effective way to maintain healthy skin between professional sessions.

With quality products, such as ESTĒREL products, you can replicate the effectiveness of a professional treatment from the comfort of home, taking care of your skin every day.

The basic steps for flawless facial cleansing

1. Cleasing

The first step is to remove all traces of makeup and surface impurities. A good cleanser must be effective but gentle, so as not to alter the skin's natural balance.

For this step, LAIT DE SOIN DOUX ESTĒREL is ideal: its gentle formula makes it suitable for sensitive, dehydrated or redness-prone skin.

Thanks to ingredients such as Lipoammino Acid Salts derived from Wheat Germ and extracts of Blueberry and Grapevine, it gently cleanses and removes makeup while respecting the skin's physiology. It leaves the face hydrated, fresh and relaxed, reducing redness and improving skin comfort.

Proceed by applying the cleansing milk directly to the face: make a gentle massage, emulsify with a little water and then rinse with lukewarm water.

2. Exfoliation

Exfoliation is an essential step to remove dead cells, impurities and improve skin texture. The scrub allows not only to promote cell renewal, but also to reduce blackheads and improve the radiance of the face. For this step, we suggest the SCRUB PLAISANT AUX NOIX D'OLIVE ESTĒREL, a purifying exfoliating treatment. Thanks to its gel texture and natural microgranules of olive pits and jojoba, it gently but deeply exfoliates, leaving the skin hydrated, fresh and toned. The presence of chamomile and calendula extracts helps reduce any redness, while essential oils such as tea tree and thyme offer antimicrobial and astringent properties, perfect for balancing the skin.

Apply the scrub to the face or the affected areas and massage gently in circular motions for about two minutes. Leave on for up to five minutes to intensify the purifying action, then rinse with lukewarm water.

3. Steaming or steam bath

Steam is an excellent ally for softening the skin and opening the pores. Fill a basin with warm water and bring your face in close, covering your head with a towel to concentrate the steam. Hold the position for about 5-10 minutes, breathing deeply to relax. You can add a few drops of FLUIDE LÉNIFIANT essential oil that contains Bitter Orange for an intense anti-stress, relaxing and soothing action.

4. Face mask

After steaming, the face is ready to receive all the nutrients of the following treatments; apply a face mask to nourish and revitalize the skin, giving it comfort and radiance.

We recommend the MASQUE JEUNESSE ARGAN ESTĒREL, a moisturizing anti-aging mask formulated with Argan oil. Thanks to its relaxing and energizing properties, it gives elasticity, softness and radiance to the skin, restoring its natural balance.

Apply it evenly to the face and leave on for 10 minutes, then remove with lukewarm water.

5. Toning

Toner is an essential step in rebalancing the skin's pH and preparing it for the cream: it helps close pores and stabilize hydration, improving the feeling of freshness and comfort.

VISAGE EXTRA TONIQUE+ ESTĒREL is perfect for achieving toned, supple and hydrated skin. Thanks to Beer Yeast extract, it stabilizes skin hydration by preventing excessive water evaporation and absorbing moisture from the environment. Its gentle formula does not cause irritation, making it ideal even for daily and prolonged use.

Apply the toner with a cotton pad to the face, neck and décolleté. Let it dry before continuing with the last step.

6. Final hydration

The last step is to apply a moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type. This step is essential to keep your skin soft, elastic and protected.

If you have sensitive skin, try NUTRITIVE NUIT ESTĒREL, ideal for nourishing and soothing hypersensitive, cracked and easily irritated skin. Enriched with shea butter and jojoba oil, it deeply moisturizes and counteracts cracking and redness, bringing comfort and freshness to the entire face.

If you are looking for an anti-aging treatment, we recommend SURACTIVÉE PLUS ESTĒREL, specifically formulated for mature and dehydrated skin. With shea butter and hydrolyzed wheat proteins, it offers a restructuring effect, treats wrinkles and loss of tone, and gives radiance for a visibly younger appearance.
