Dry, flaky, oily, sensitive, normal – there are many different skin types out there which sometimes makes the whole process of choosing good skincare a little overwhelming. Never mind trying to navigate the barrage of products on the market, right?
Moisturisers, cleansers, serums, oils…. The list goes on.
Cleansing is the first step of all skincare routines.
Simply washing your face with water is not effective. Your skin needs to breathe. The skin is naturally waterproof to prevent water and other chemical substances from entering the skin.
Even the best skincare products can’t deliver unless they are applied on a clean skin surface. In fact, there is no point in applying serums and creams if you haven’t first cleansed.
Daily facial cleansing removes impurities, dirt, excess oil, pollution, and unwanted skin cells. Cleanser helps to soften the surface of the skin allowing the cleaning of the skin and the pores yet avoids stripping away the natural oils that keep it hydrated and healthy.
Here are some of the top benefits of cleansing:
Finding the best cleanser can be tough.
Knowing the differences between them will help you choose the best products for your skin. A well formulated cleanser is one can thoroughly clean the skin and not destroy the natural skin structure. For example, if the cleanser is too strong, it will strip off the natural protective oil that binds the skin cells together which is why the skin is waterproof by nature, leaving the skin dry and sensitive to external elements. On the other hand, if the cleanser doesn’t contain adequate cleaning agents, it will not clean effectively.
There are many types of cleansers, like our foaming cleaners, exfoliants, clarifying cleaners and even charcoal based products. Ultimately all cleansers aim to clean but there are specific types of cleansers that are expertly formulated for different skin types. Choosing one to suit your skin type is essential for the best results.
Normal skin
Keep your skin healthy and glowing with a regular day and night cleansing routine.
Use the B-Foaming or C-Clarifying Cleanser in the morning and at night switch to our B-Exfoliating Cleanser, a cream-based non-scrubbing exfoliating cleanser.
For extra deep cleansing and circulation try our B-Exfoliating Cleanser with Rice Scrub.
Dry and Sensitive Skin
Dry, sensitive skin can be all year round or seasonal, especially when the winter months kick in and the heating gets turned up. Most cleansers are too harsh for people with dry skin which is why we formulate a range of premium cleansers to combat dry, flaky skin.
Try the En Face C-Clarifying cleanser in the morning, formulated with vitamin C, it is soft and gentle on the skin.
At night switch to our B-Exfoliating cleanser which contains salicylic acid to unclog the pores and replenish the moisture in the skin for a lasting, radiant glow.
Oily Skin
Got oily skin?
You need a cleanser that strips away enough oil to remove dirt and impurities, but not enough to dry out your skin.
We recommend our B-Exfoliating cleanser morning and night to gently remove dead skin cells, unclog the pores and let your skin breathe.
Expert tip: Use the Exfoliating Cleanser with Salicylic and Rice twice a week for extra deep pore cleansing.
Combination Skin
Sometimes we do not all fit into the dry or oily skin type bracket.
Does dry cheek areas and an oily forehead or t-zone sound familiar?
For amazing results try our B-Foaming cleanser in the morning and our B-Exfoliating Cleanser with Salicylic Acid at night.
For an added treat our Charcoal Face mask is suitable for all skin types. It helps to absorb the impurities and excessive oil cumulated in the pores. Hydration boosters and vitamins leave your skin feeling and looking bright, soft, and healthy.
