A good face cleanser is the foundation of any skincare routine. It removes excess oil, dirt, and makeup, prevents clogged pores, and prepares your skin for the next steps. But with all the gels, oils, balms, and foams out there – how do you choose the right one?
Why is cleansing so important?
Cleansing is the very first step – and one of the most important. It removes pollution, makeup, and sunscreen, while ensuring that your skincare products absorb better. A gentle yet effective cleanser also helps to prevent breakouts and congestion. Choosing the right product for your skin type is key.
Types of face cleansers explained
✧ What is a cleansing gel?
A cleansing gel is light, refreshing, and often foaming. It’s ideal for normal, oily, or combination skin. Gels cleanse deeply and help reduce excess sebum without leaving a heavy residue.
✧ What is a cleansing oil?
Cleansing oils are perfect for dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. They attract oil and work best as the first step in your evening routine. Learn more about the Double Cleansing method here.
✧ What about cleansing balms and foams?
Cleansing balms are solid oils that melt on contact – perfect for dry or sensitive skin. Foams are airy and refreshing. Want to explore all textures? Discover our full cleansing collection here.
