Facial Cleansers and Masks

We’ve all heard that universal idiom - cleanliness is next to godliness! This is just as true of our complexions as it is of the rest of us, as lifting away impurities, accumulations, dead skin and general dirt from our skin allows it to function at its best. With each of us having totally unique skin types, oily, dry, or sensitive skin needs to be given the best care. Rather than expecting us to rely on a good old bar of soap, there are now many more options out there. These seek to be truly incorporated into our skincare routines.

Can Botanicals Help Me To Cleanse?

Absolutely! For centuries, our ancestors needed to wash as much as we do now. In recent years there has been some of a natural renaissance, with experts learning to once again appreciate plant extracts. In cooperation with modern knowledge and expectations, these organic factors are being blended into skincare products.

What Ingredients Should I Look For?

There are so many cleansing and purifying factors to be found within nature! Soapberry has been used for centuries to cleanse, with its name being clearly significant of that trait. Sage has also been historically used to purify, with known antibacterial and astringent qualities for a deep clean. Equally, such factors as Pine, Fennel, Pineapple, Lemon and Fig have been attributed with these qualities.

With the basics of cleansing established, it’s time to think about the extras your skin could benefit from! If your skin is dry, look for a product that’s enriched with hydrating, conditioning and emollient ingredients. Argan and Jojoba Oils are increasingly important amongst skincare experts, leaving a protective barrier that seals in lost moisture. For those that struggle with blemishes, the inclusion of naturally derived Salicylic Acid can powerfully remove pore-blocking blemishes with a deep cleansing action.

If your skin is sensitive, however, it’s often about what you need to avoid! Look for sulfate free formulas that are based around natural extracts. Chamomile can be a specially soothing addition, calming your skin cells. If you’re after an anti ageing action, look for ingredients like toning and firming florals Rose and Myrtle. Any of these seek to leave your skin feeling absolutely fresh!

What’s The Best Product For Me?

There are so many different ways to cleanse your complexion! A cleansing oil can be absolutely perfect if you have a dry skin, as its very composition is designed to deliver the hydration your complexion is so likely to be lacking in. A bar is a classic choice, highly convenient and often the most long-lasting. A solid product is, indeed, often the best way to encapsulate a range of factors. A foam offers the most intensive cleansing, while a gel is a prime option for delivering innovative compounds like organically extracted Hyaluronic, Lactic or Salicylic Acid.
