Why is cleansing the skin important before applying skin care products?
Many skin care products contain ingredients that help the products to be absorbed into the deeper parts of the skin, where all the magic happens, i.e. the skin-regenerating and elasticity-increasing ingredients used in skin care products work at the skin's cellular level.
Dirt and impurities on the skin make it difficult for skin care products to be absorbed, so their function and effectiveness are not the best possible. Some ingredients that enhance absorption may also carry some of the impurities on the skin with them to the lower layers of the skin.
For this reason, it is of primary importance to always start your skin care routine by cleansing the skin.
