Deep skin cleansing can be achieved through a combination of physical and chemical methods. Physical methods primarily remove surface dirt and dead skin cells through mechanical action, whereas chemical methods utilize specific ingredients to dissolve oils and impurities within pores. The goal of deep cleansing is to clear away dirt, excess oil, and old dead skin cells lodged in pores, improve skin respiration, and reduce the formation of blackheads and acne, thereby leaving the skin looking fresher and smoother.
It is recommended to start by cleansing the face with a gentle facial cleanser to remove surface dirt and oil. Then, use an exfoliating product, such as a scrub containing fruit acids or salicylic acid, to gently massage the face and help remove dead skin cells. Nose strips or deep-cleansing masks can also be used, as these products help absorb excess oil and blackheads within pores. After use, thoroughly rinse the face with lukewarm water. If possible, regular visits to a beauty salon for professional deep-cleansing treatments, such as ultrasonic cleaning or vacuum suction, are also beneficial. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and moderate exercise, can also help improve overall skin condition.
