Arctisztítás

Arctisztítás is the Hungarian term for facial cleansing. It refers to the process of removing dirt, oil, makeup, and other impurities from the skin of the face. This practice is a fundamental part of skincare routines worldwide, aiming to maintain skin health and appearance.

The process typically involves using a cleanser, such as a foam, gel, or cream, along with water. The cleanser is gently massaged onto the skin and then rinsed off. For those who wear makeup, a makeup remover might be used as a preliminary step. Different skin types, such as oily, dry, combination, or sensitive, often require specific types of cleansers to effectively address their unique needs without causing irritation or exacerbating existing conditions.

Regular facial cleansing is believed to prevent common skin issues like acne, blackheads, and premature aging. By removing pollutants and debris, it allows the skin to breathe and better absorb subsequent skincare products like toners, serums, and moisturizers. The frequency of arctisztítás can vary, but it is generally recommended to cleanse the face at least once a day, typically in the evening, to remove the day's accumulation of impurities, and sometimes again in the morning to refresh the skin.
