There are three main products in skin care: cleansing oil, essence and facial oil. Other products are complementary or power products whose use depends on the condition and the needs of the skin.
1. Cleansing Oil
Cleansing oil is the best choice for cleansing the skin, as it effectively removes, among other things, make-up and oil soluble sunscreen products. In addition, cleansing oil effectively dissolves dirt and excess sebum deep from the skin pores. It thus deep-cleans the skin but does not dry out or wash away the hydrolipidic film that protects the skin. Nor does it interfere with the skin’s pH, which is supposed to be acidic. Water-based cleaning agents, such as cleaning foams and gels, contain large amounts of surfactants, i.e., ingredients that clean and wash. However, these easily wash away your own sebum, which is important for the skin, and the hydrolipidic membrane that maintains the pH balance. The skin’s own sebum secretion may even accelerate, as the skin begins to repair the lost sebum by secreting more of it – this is a natural part of the skin’s own protective mechanism and its ability to adapt to external conditions.
Cleansing oil is also suitable for oily skin. It does not increase the oiliness of the skin – on the contrary, it balances the skin’s sebum secretion. It is important to understand that issues such as pimples, blockages, blackheads and excessive oiliness cannot be resolved through washing, but by balancing the skin internally and externally.
In addition to genuine, 100% vegetable oils, a high-quality cleansing oil contains an emulsifier, i.e., a surfactant, which enables the cleansing oil to be rinsed off with water. This type of cleansing oil is the most pleasant to use. Mechanical effectiveness can be added by removing the cleansing oil from the skin with a flannel or sponge instead of rinsing with water.
Skin cleansing is a key part of skin care, so it should not be regarded as a necessary evil that is done sloppily before the actual care products are applied. It is important to apply the cleansing oil to dry skin (face and neck) and it should be thoroughly massaged into the skin for about 1-2 minutes before removing it. The cleansing oil can be used for both day and night skin care.
Djusie’s Liquid Silk Perfect Cleansing Oil keeps the hydrolipidic film of the skin in balance while removing all the dirt that has accumulated on the skin during the day, as well as sun protection and even waterproof make-up. It rinses off effortlessly with water. Liquid Silk is suitable for all skin types.
2. Essence
A high-quality essence is one of the most important cornerstones of skin care, as hydration of the skin, i.e., the introduction of aqueous moisture into the skin, creates the basis for moisturising the skin. The skin needs both moisture (water) and fats (oils) to stay in balance. Facial oils and thick moisturisers are not good for the skin if the skin lacks water moisture.
The surface of a moisture-poor skin is like a thick shield that rejects products applied to it and also clogs easily, allowing the skin to tighten and dry on the surface, but with blockages under the skin that may feel like an uneven and bumpy but do not break out. Skin that lacks water also wrinkles easily. On dry skin, lines are often due to a lack of moisture
Essence should be dabbed on by hand to the face, neck and décolleté in the morning and evening. Applying it with cotton wool wastes the product and wipes it off the skin instead of letting it absorb into the skin. Add a few drops of essence to the palms of your hands and then dab it on the skin until it is absorbed. This should be repeated until the skin feels distinctly soft, smooth, supple and plump.
The need for layers of essence varies depending on the condition of the skin and external conditions. If the skin is already lacking in moisture, it will need more moisturising initially, but after a while you will notice that the amount can be reduced. Stress and, especially in Finland, rapidly changing weather conditions, dry air and air-conditioned spaces increase the evaporation of moisture from the skin, which means that more moisture is needed.
Djusie’s Acid Bloom Balancing Essence treatment keeps the skin’s pH perfectly balanced and the moisture content optimal. The skin becomes bright, firm, supple and plump, and less prone to the formation of impurities and other imbalances. Acid Bloom is suitable for all skin types.
3. Facial Oil
In addition to water, the skin also needs fat and the best source is genuine, cold-pressed vegetable oils, as they naturally contain omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and minerals that soothe inflammation, rejuvenate the skin, balance sebum secretion, strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and nourish the skin. The oils prevent water from evaporating from the skin and thus improve the skin’s moisture content. In addition, they protect the skin from external stressors. Oils are best absorbed into well-moisturised skin, so it is important to hydrate the skin first with an essence.
Facial oil should be applied to the face, neck and décolleté. The application should be combined with a facial massage that warms the skin; improves the skin’s metabolism, microcirculation and lymph fluid flow; and helps the skin absorb the oil more effectively.
Djusie’s Fruit Glaze Vitalising & Brightening Facial Oil is squalane-based. The composition of squalane is very close to the skin’s own sebum composition, which means that it is very well absorbed and prevents moisture evaporation from the skin, keeping the skin smooth and plump. In addition, its antioxidant properties prevent the skin’s own sebum from oxidising, thus preventing impurities and pore clogging. Djusie’s Fruit Glaze facial oil strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, polishes the skin, improves elasticity, brightens skin tone, and prevents and lightens pigment spots on the skin.
