1. Spring is the season when your skin's rhythm changes
Spring is a time when many people change their environment and begin a new life. It's also a stressful season for the skin, with sudden changes in temperature, humidity, and UV levels. Pollen and yellow sand carried by the spring breeze, as well as the temperature difference between morning and evening, can easily affect the skin's barrier function, leaving many people feeling a bit unstable.
For example, if your skin feels a little dry when you wake up in the morning, or if it's red or itchy due to the friction of a mask, or if your makeup doesn't stick as well, or if your skin feels tight after washing your face, these small changes could all be signs of spring skin stress.
Now is the time to rethink your basic skincare routine: washing your face. In particular, using cold-process soap , which is gentle on the skin , can help regulate your skin's natural rhythm with each wash.
2. Washing your face isn't just about removing makeup
Many people have made washing their face the habit of simply removing dirt. However, washing your face is actually an important step in maintaining your skin's condition. Washing your face in the morning, in particular, not only removes oil and sweat, but also lays the foundation for your skincare routine for the day.
In early spring, our skin tends to be in a complicated state, with increased sebum secretion and dryness. That's why it 's important to choose a cleanser that can gently condition your skin while protecting the necessary sebum, rather than one with too strong cleansing power .
For example, if you skip washing your face during busy morning hours, remnants of skincare products you applied the night before and sebum secreted while you sleep can remain on your skin, causing your makeup to come off and make your skin shiny during the day.On the other hand, if you go to bed without thoroughly removing your makeup at night, your skin is more likely to feel rough and stiff the next morning.
3. Use cold process soap for a gentle cleansing routine
"THE COLD PROCESS" soap is made using the "cold process" method, which involves slowly aging the soap at low temperatures without applying heat. The main features of this method are:
-
The natural moisturizing ingredient (glycerin) remains firmly in the soap.
-
It does not rely on synthetic additives and has a simple formula that is gentle on the skin.
While regular soap is made by heating at high temperatures, which can cause the moisturizing properties of natural oils to be lost in the process, cold process soap is slowly aged over a period of about a month, allowing the natural beauty ingredients to remain intact in the soap.
Glycerin in particular is one of the natural moisturizing factors that keeps skin hydrated. The reason your skin feels moisturized after washing is because glycerin is naturally contained in soap.
What's more, THE COLD PROCESS soaps are free of synthetic surfactants and preservatives, and are made only with ingredients that are gentle on the skin, such as plants and clay. Especially during this season when skin is prone to becoming unstable, try experiencing the feeling of resetting your skin with a simple face wash.
4. The idea of changing the purpose of face washing in the morning and at night
Washing your face in the spring will be more effective if you pay attention to the differences in skin condition depending on the time of day .
-
In the morning, use a "conditioning face wash" : The purpose is to gently remove the sebum and sweat secreted while sleeping and to make the skin smooth. Wash with a well-lathered lather, minimizing friction.
-
At night, use a "reset face wash" : This is the time to thoroughly wash away makeup, sebum, pollen, dust, and other impurities, clearing your skin of the day's stress. It's important to maintain skin moisture while taking advantage of the soap's natural cleansing power.
Your skin undergoes various changes over the course of 24 hours. By changing the purpose of your face wash between morning and night, you can significantly improve the quality of your face wash.
5. New skincare routine for a new lifestyle
Starting a new life can be a time when not only your emotions but also your skin can easily fluctuate. Even in the midst of a busy schedule, washing your face twice a day is a precious time to quietly focus on your skin. This brings rhythm not only to your skin but also to your mind, bringing a richer sense of space into your life.
