The Most Important Cleansing Rules To Follow

Cleansing is one of the most important steps when it comes to looking after our skin. Without a clean base that’s free of old makeup, dirt and debris, it’s impossible for your other skincare products, such as your serum and moisturiser, to work their magic in bettering the quality of your skin overall.

Like all things beauty, cleansing is one thing, but cleansing *properly* is an entirely different story. Here are the most important cleansing rules to follow, and the products you should try. 

Don’t rely on wipes

Whilst wipes are a really easy and convenient way to get cleansing done, it isn’t the most effective way to really get into your pores for a deeper clean. We highly recommend stocking your beauty cabinet with a cleanser that suits your skin type. 

A rule of thumb: oily and combo skin types suit gel or foam textures (like Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam), dry skin types can use milk or oil cleansers (such as Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk), whilst sensitive skin types should reach for something designed for exactly their skin concern in mind (be it redness or flakiness). Got normal skin? You’re in luck; this skin type can use gel, milk or oil textures depending on preference.
