The world of skincare finds a new parallel in everyday household chores, thanks to the innovative comparisons presented by dermocosmetics experts from renowned brands such as Byoode, Omorovicza, and Medik8. These experts highlight how understanding and applying a skincare routine can be as simple as carrying out an effective household cleaning.
One of the main similarities exposed is the analogy between facial cleansing and sweeping and mopping floors. Lara González, a cosmetologist at Byoode, emphasizes the importance of performing a double cleanse on the skin to completely eradicate surface impurities such as makeup and pollution. Just like a floor is first swept to remove dust before being mopped, in facial care it is recommended to start with an oil-based cleanser to tackle tougher dirt, followed by a facial cleansing gel, as Marta Agustí, director of dermocosmetics at Omorovicza, suggests.
Similarly, Raquel González, technical director at Perricone MD, offers a practical lesson by comparing the process of washing the face to cleaning a greasy pan, highlighting the effectiveness of using warm water at 30ºC to remove oils and makeup without damaging the skin barrier. This approach is crucial for the proper removal of grease both in kitchen utensils and facial care.
In terms of product absorption, Mireia Fernández from Boutijour points out that the skin, like a sponge, absorbs cosmetic actives more effectively when slightly damp. The application of toners and hyaluronic acid serums after cleansing maximizes this absorption capacity, ensuring deeper hydration.
The order of product application also has parallels in household cleaning logic. As Estefanía Nieto from Medik8 explains, applying products based on their density, starting with the lighter ones and ending with the heavier ones, is similar to waxing a parquet floor, where cleaning precedes the application of wax to seal.
Experts recommend specific products to optimize these steps. For example, Byoode’s antibacterial cleansing balm, “Metamorphosis of Narcissus,” is designed for deep cleansing. Likewise, Omorovicza’s exfoliating cleanser “Gentle Buffing Gelée” and Boutijour’s “Snow Lotus Lifting Serum” offer specific benefits that complement these care stages.
With these comparisons, dermocosmetics experts facilitate the understanding and practice of an effective skincare routine, promoting the adoption of habits that contribute to maintaining healthy and radiant skin. These examples demonstrate that caring for our face can be as methodical and reassuring a process as keeping our home clean and organized.
