CLEANSE AND TONE THE SKIN

For me, cleansing and toning my skin every day is just as important as moisturizing, nourishing or treating its problems, because healthy, beautiful skin always starts with clean skin. This should be the first step adopt in order to have good-looking skin and also so that the treatment products we use next are better absorbed and more effective.

At Avani Professionala new Portuguese brand that I’ve been getting to know and which is based on ingredients of natural origin, you’ll find everything you need for this very important routine, which includes cleansing milk for all skin types and two toners, one for combination and oily skin and the other for dry skin.

Chamomile and green tea cleansing milk

This is a very gentle cleansing milk that can be used by all skin types, even the most sensitive, and should always be used morning and night to remove dirt and make-up residue if necessary. It cleanses and purifies the skin while maintaining its natural balance, leaving the skin clean, with a pleasant sensation of freshness, and very comfortable.

Cleansing milk Avani cleansing milk contains 3 key ingredients to care for, cleanse and respect our skin:

  • Green teaGreen tea, with its well-known antioxidant properties, helps to remove dead cells and improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
  • Chamomilewith detoxifying and soothing powers that leave the skin glowing and moisturized, protecting it from aging.
  • Argan oil Arganthe “Moroccan gold” that acts on the skin as a protective barrier that prevents water from leaving the dermis.

It should be used morning and evening after removing make-up from the face, massaging gently in a circular motion, then rinsing off with water. The skin feels wonderfully clean, fresh and soft.

Once you’ve cleansed your skin, it’s very important to apply a toner to your face to help remove the last traces of dirt, temporarily close your pores and restore its pH. As our skins are not all the same, we should use a toner that meets the needs of each one, and here Avani has 2 options that are the ideal complement to any skin cleansing routine, whether for oily or dry skin:

 

 

Cucumber & Green Tea Oily Skin Toner (with allantoin)

This is a toner for combination and oily skin, which cleanses and refreshes deeply and also has astringent power to eliminate excess shine.It restores the skin’s natural pH and prepares it to receive the rest of the treatment products.

Its composition includes :

  • Cucumberan excellent ally for repairing, moisturizing and revitalizing the skin.
  • Green teawith antioxidant properties that improve the skin’s hydration, firmness and elasticity.
  • AllantoinAllantoin, or better known as snail slime, contains elastin, proteins and is excellent for treating blemishes, scars and acne marks.
  • Salicylic acidwith analgesic, exfoliating, antibacterial and anti-inflammatorywhich promotes cell renewal and reduces blemishes.

Apple & Aloe Vera toner for dry skin (with allantoin)

Just like the previous toner, it refreshes and cleanses the skin in depth and prepares it to receive the other products we use, but as it is suitable for those with dry skin its composition is different to meet the needs of this type of skin.

  • Aloe Verawhich cleanses deeply, regenerates tissues and has an antibacterial action.
  • Applewhich detoxifies, helps eliminate blemishes and maintains hydration levels.
  • Allantoin (snail slime), which contains elastin, proteins and is excellent for treating blemishes, scars and reducing wrinkle marks.

Whichever toner you choose, it should always be used after cleansing your skin by gently rubbing a cotton pad soaked in the product over your face. After this procedure, and without rinsing, just apply the toner. serum and cream, and if it’s your morning routine, never forget to put on sunscreen.

As my skin is combination in the T-zone, I’ve been using the cleansing milk, which is excellent and leaves it feeling as deeply cleansed as I like, and then the toner for oily skin, which tightens my pores, leaves my skin smooth and radiant and gives it a very pleasant feeling of freshness. These are the products I’ve recently included in my cleansing routine and I recommend them without a shadow of a doubt because they’re very effective and leave my skin as perfect as I like it… and believe me, I’m very careful and demanding with what I use.

All these products come in 500 ml containers, which is a plus for me because they last a long time and there’s less plastic waste.

As a final note, I leave you with a piece of advice: Take good care of your skin by cleansing it every day, morning and night, even if you think it’s not dirty or has no impurities, but no more than that, as too much cleansing can weaken it. Always use a toner that suits your skin type and pamper it with the right products. This will give your skin a healthy appearance, a natural glow and prevent premature ageing.
