How to Pre-cleanse Before a Facial

While facials are a wonderful way to exfoliate and reinvigorate the face and neck, the other steps before and after the facial are equally important to receive the maximum benefits. Eating and sleeping right are always good for the facial skin, as is cleansing. A pre-cleanse before a facial is vital. Follow these tips for pre-cleansing before a facial.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Remove makeup first with a good makeup remover. Use fresh cotton pads or a clean white cloth. You want to avoid getting dyes and other organisms on your face prior to the facial because the chemicals in the facial compound could push those unwanted particles deeper into your pores.

2. Buy a product that is called a pre-cleanser from your massage therapist or aesthetician. Each will probably carry and promote different brands. This product that is worth a splurge from your usual inexpensive toiletry array, since the pre-cleanse is an important part of the cleaning and relaxing aspects of a good facial.

3. Test the pre-cleansing products before you purchase them. Many people report problems ranging from oily breakouts to extra dry skin from various pre-cleansing facial products. Ask for a sample or buy the smallest size you can before committing to regular use of a product. Everyone has different issues with their skin, and you cannot always use the same facial products as your friends and family.

4. Clean your hands well before massaging the pre-cleanse into your skin. If someone else is rubbing the pre-cleanse in your face, then make sure that person's hands are clean. Hand washing is the single best preventative for infection.
