Cleansing the face is an essential step in your beauty routine. Your skin is a living organ and, just like the rest of your body, it needs to be given special care.
Why should you cleanse your face?
Your face is constantly exposed to many aspects of everyday life that can take a toll on the skin. Pollution, stress, makeup, sweat, and impurities that have built up during the day can dull and damage your skin, affecting its health and beauty. Just like makeup removal, cleansing is vital if you want to help prevent skin problems. And even if you don't wear makeup, you should still cleanse! When you cleanse your face – with a rinse-off cleanser, a balm, or even a multi-tasking toner – you oxygenate your skin. By removing impurities, as well as oily and aqueous substances (sebum, sweat), the skin is not just better protected, but also better able to regenerate. Plus, cleansing leaves your skin perfectly prepped for the products you apply afterwards.
Cleanse your face gently
All skin needs to be cared for gently – even oily skin, which may appear very resilient, but can actually be extra sensitive and have a strong reaction to cosmetic products that are unsuitable or overly harsh. At Absolution, we know that if you want to keep your skin perfectly clean, you don't need to use ultra-powerful active ingredients, or get carried away with facial scrubs! What you do need is products that are both effective and kind to your skin.
If your skin prefers rinse-off cleansers, look no further than Le Nettoyant Pureté. This daily cleanser both removes makeup and cleanses, while purifying the skin. It's formulated with carefully chosen ingredients to ensure that it won't ever make your skin sensitive. Soothing Oat, Roman Chamomile and Aloe Vera are combined with healing Sage and White Willow bark extract, which naturally contains salicylic acid.
If you have very sensitive skin, give it some TLC with La Crème Douce Démaquillante. Not only does this cream gently cleanse and remove makeup from the face, eyes and lips; it also helps to restore your skin's natural balance. Formulated with kind, gentle, natural ingredients, including nourishing Pracaxi oil, softening St John's Wort, and calming, rebalancing Neroli hydrosol, it's the perfect beneficial blend to cleanse your skin just before you go to bed.
If you're always in a hurry, try L'Eau Soir et Matin – a multi-purpose formula that cleanses, removes makeup and tones the skin in one step, without leaving a greasy residue. At the heart of this formula is Helichrysum hydrosol, which has circulatory and healing properties, so it's ideal for evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of minor blemishes. There's also Potassium, which helps to prevent tired-looking eyes in the morning, and Hazelnut oil, rich in antioxidant Vitamin E. Another plus point for this product is its easily portable format, which lets you take it with you anywhere, without any risk of it getting onto your clothes!
Absolution's cleansers don't just let your skin breathe... They put the pleasure into cleansing, every day.
