Firstly, let’s cover how to cleanse your face and why this is an important part of your daily skincare routine. Cleansers are high-performance products that gently remove makeup, dirt, sunscreen, pollution, and dead skin cells from your skin. Why is this important? Well, as well as leaving you with makeup-free skin, cleansing provides a clean base upon which your serum or moisturiser can soak in more deeply. So not only will your skin look and feel refreshed, but your products will work harder, too. If you have sensitive or very dry skin, you may be nervous that a toner may only exacerbate the problem. However, choosing an effective toner that’s tailored to your skin type is essential to redress balance and restore comfort to your complexion. Infused with Purple Coneflower and Camomile extracts, Clarins Soothing Toning Lotion for dry/sensitive skin sends a shot of hydration straight to the source of discomfort, intensely soothing your complexion by rebalancing your skin’s natural microbiota (the bacteria that lives on skin to keep it healthy). The result? Tightness, redness, and imperfections are smoothed away, leaving a soft and refreshed complexion. The oil in the cleanser is also able to dissolve substances with a similar chemical structure – such as dirt, excess oil and makeup – making it easy to remove the impurities that lead to clogged pores. Hello happy, hydrated skin. Turn it up a notch…

On the other hand, sensitive skin may only require cleansing once every few days to avoid irritation. Is cleansing oil good for oily skin?As always, make sure you follow up with a moisturiser.

Infused with Golden Gentian and Lemon balm extracts, this non-greasy milk can be used both morning and evening for fresh, clean skin.

At night, be sure to hydrate your skin after cleansing by applying Lotus Face Treatment Oil, which seals in moisture while you sleep, without any greasy residue. When is the best time to oil cleanse? Warm water helps to open up your pores which makes it easier to remove impurities from deeper within the skin. Massage for a minute or so to really encourage those pores to open.
