Cleansing is an art of skincare and plays an important part in maintaining healthy and glowing skin. It creates a fresh base for the skin to absorb only useful ingredients that follow. At the start of the day and at its end – cleansing is the gratifying first step to giving your skin the goodness it deserves.
In this article, we briefly discuss how to find a cleanser that’s right for you.
Why Cleanser should be your skincare routine?
- Gently removes dirt, excessive oils and other pollutants from the face that cause acne and pimples.
- Generally, all face cleansers are formulated with hydrating elements. This ensures that the skin doesn’t dry up while washing the face.
- Cleansers with exfoliating elements can help remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh, youthful skin.
How to choose a perfect cleanser based on your skin?
While cleansing serves a common purpose, not all cleansers are the same. And because no two of us are alike, no day is identical to the next, and our skincare styles and needs are diverse as well. So it is very important to select one that delivers a bounty of benefits.
Optimals from ORIFLAME features an assortment of cleansers and toners formulated with skin nutrients that deliver a bounty of benefits, so you can make cleansing personal and beneficial. Here’s how to find a cleanser that’s right for you:
If You’re Looking For a Cleanser Unclogging Pores
Are blemishes and blackheads a concern? Or maybe city life is stressing your skin and clogging your pores? Either way, these types of concerns call for a face wash with exfoliating abilities, to refresh and revitalise your skin.
Exfoliating increases cell turnover, helps unclog pores and rids skin of dirt and debris. If this sounds like something to suit your skin needs, try Optimals Urban Guard 3D Multifunctional Cleanser. This 3-in-1 multipurpose product works as a cleanser, a scrub and a mask. It’s formulated with salicylic acid to give skin a deep and gentle cleanse, plus natural exfoliating ingredients like Blueberry Crush which help to remove impurities and revitalise dull skin.
Key benefits: gently exfoliates impurities, deeply cleanses pores and revitalises skin
If You’re Looking For Deep-Cleansing
Looking for a cleanser that goes deep to remove dirt, impurities, and even makeup, but won’t leave your skin feeling like sandpaper afterwards? A foaming cleanser may be your best bet. Particularly if you have combination skin that feels oily on some days and dry on others.
A foamy face wash works well for skin even when dry and oily at the same time – a common offence of the T-zone (your forehead, nose or chin), where excess sebum and daily grime like to settle.
This is where Optimals Deep Cleansing Gel can help. This gel-to-foam cleanser contains oil-releasing beads that help to leave skin feeling refreshed, but not dry, and contains skin nutrients that include fruit acids + vitamin C from strawberries to help smooth and clarify skin. Another perk? Vitamin C is a well-known ingredient with radiance-boosting benefits.
Key Benefits: deeply cleanses, leaves skin feeling refreshed, not dry.
If You’re Looking For Softening
Do you daydream about having a soft, smooth, clarified complexion? But your reality is dry skin that’s sometimes flaky or itchy. You’ll want to swap out a soap or foam cleanser for a creamy or milky texture. We recommend Optimals Clarifying Creamy Cleanser, formulated with flavonoids from Wild Pansy to help soothe and calm skin. It features a luxuriously smooth texture that works to soften and clarify dull skin, making it ideal for ageing skin or if hyperpigmentation is a concern.
Key benefits: clarifies dull skin to reveal a more even and radiant tone
If You’re Looking For Moisturising
For dehydrated skin, the problem is water retention. If you’re experiencing dryness and dullness what your skin needs is lots of hydration and moisture. In this case, we recommend adding an extra step, just after you cleanse. Try complementing your cleanser with a skin-conditioning toner. Optimals Comforting Facial Toner is formulated with vitamins B3 and B5 from Oats which are famous for their moisturising abilities – and work well with all skin types.
Key benefits: soothes, softens, balances skin’s hydration levels, nourishes and tones newly cleansed skin
If You’re After A Leave-On Solution
Like the idea of a no-rub, no-rinse format? Then you’ll love Optimals Soothing Micellar Cleansing Water. It’s an easy and effective way to wash your face, with 3-in-1 benefits that include removing makeup while soothing and hydrating your skin. This leave-on formula is alcohol-free and gentle enough to use on your entire face, including eyes and lips. It includes Ursolic Acid from Heather with comforting and soothing benefits. And works well with all skin types, making it a great cleanser for just about anyone. To use, simply douse a cotton pad with the cleansing water and gently run all over your face.
Key benefits: gently cleanses and removes makeup, plus soothes and moisturises skin
How to Use Cleanser for Perfect Skin Glow?
As a scrub use twice a week, gently massage a bead of cleanser into damp or dry skin, targeting the areas that tend to get oily or rough, like your T-zone, around the nose and chin. Rinse thoroughly with water, and pat the skin dry.
As a mask use weekly, apply a thick layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eyes, lips and hairline. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, and then splash your face with water, gently massaging your skin to rinse off any excess product.
Where: on the face, avoiding the eye area
