To remove makeup, cleanse your pores, and get rid of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells: a cleanser is the foundation of your daily skincare routine and an essential product on your bathroom shelf. Cleaning your skin thoroughly but gently twice a day keeps your skin fresh, even, and healthy. In this blog, we’ll explain the importance of daily cleansing and how to do it effectively and gently, so your skin stays well-hydrated.
Cleansing in the Evening: Say Goodbye to Makeup
Whether you wear makeup or not, spend most of your time indoors or outdoors: cleaning your skin every evening is a must to keep your skin fresh and healthy. If you skip this step, you risk clogging your pores. Makeup, excess oil, and dirt can sink deeper into your skin, leading to breakouts and a dull complexion. A good cleanser, like a gel cleanser, removes makeup and dirt without drying out the skin. Eve and Gentle Gel Cleanser contains apricot kernel oil, squalane, and bisabolol to ensure your skin stays well-hydrated after cleansing. This gentle cleanser leaves your skin with a squeaky clean feeling.
Cleansing in the Morning: A Fresh Start to Your Day
Even though you're not exposed to pollution during the night, it’s still important to cleanse your skin in the morning. While you sleep, you can sweat, and your pillowcase leaves its mark, making a mild morning cleanse essential. Plus, cleansing in the morning prepares your skin for the rest of your skincare routine. Your serum and day cream work better on a well-cleansed skin, as they can absorb faster and more effectively into a clean skin. Makes sense, right?
Cleanser + Toner = The Perfect Duo
A cleanser makes your skin feel fresh and clean. A good cleanser with mild ingredients doesn’t strip your skin of its natural lipids (fats), is pH-neutral, and protects your skin’s natural barrier function. This way, your skin won’t lose moisture. Want to get rid of any last traces of dirt and excess cleanser and want to prepare your skin for optimal absorption of skincare products after cleansing? You can do that with a calming toner as a second step in your cleansing routine. Tip: apply your serum or day or night cream to skin that’s still slightly damp from the toner. This helps the active ingredients in your serum or cream to absorb even deeper into your skin.
A thorough, gentle cleanse is the foundation of a skincare routine for healthy, beautiful skin. Add a hydrating, soothing toner after cleansing, and your skin will thank you!
