Can You Use Your Shower Gel on Your Face?

Washing your face is an important daily step and should be part of your regular skin care routine, just like your shower. Indeed, the skin of the face is constantly exposed to the external aggressions and undergoes a permanent influx of impurities likely to block the pores. During the day, pollution debris, allergens, dust, sweat, sebum, dead skin, germs, cosmetic products, etc... accumulate on the surface of the epidermis. During the night, the skin becomes clogged with dead cells due to the intensification of the cell regeneration process, sweat and sebum. Therefore, washing the face helps to remove these impurities from the epidermis. The result is soft, purified, healthy and energized skin, as well as a radiant complexion. On the other hand, if you don't cleanse your face every day, the accumulation of these residues and dead cells clogs the skin pores, encouraging the appearance of imperfections such as blackheads or pimples.

Using shower gel is not suitable for washing delicate facial skin, even if it was designed to respect the skin's balance. Indeed, the skin of the body and that of the face do not have the same needs: the skin of the face is particularly fine, fragile and sensitive. Moreover, the face is more exposed to the sun, dust, pollution, cold, etc. throughout the year. Therefore, it is preferable to choose a gentle cleansing product specifically formulated for the face and adapted to your skin type in order to preserve the hydrolipidic film.
