Healthy skin starts with cleansing that is effective and respectful of its balance. Makeup removers and facial cleansers eliminate makeup, impurities, excess sebum, and particles accumulated during the day. In the evening, adopt double cleansing by pairing a cleansing balm with a cleansing gel for perfectly clean skin, ready for its skincare.
What is the difference between cleansing the skin and removing makeup?
Makeup removal aims first to remove makeup and the oily substances present on the skin's surface. Cleansing then removes impurities, excess sebum and accumulated residue. In the evening, these two steps can be combined in a double cleanse.
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing consists of first using a cleansing balm to remove makeup, sunscreen and oil-based residue, then a cleansing gel to cleanse the skin more thoroughly. This method prepares the skin to receive the products applied afterwards.
Should I cleanse my face morning and evening?
In the evening, cleansing is essential to remove what has built up during the day. In the morning, the step can be adapted to the skin type, its comfort and the routine followed. In any case, favor a gentle, non-drying cleanser such as The HUYGENS Infusion Blanche Facial Cleansing Gel.
How do I know if a cleanser is too harsh?
Persistent tightness, a feeling of discomfort or skin that seems excessively dry after cleansing may indicate that the routine is not suitable. Good cleansing should leave the skin clean while respecting its hydrolipidic balance.
In what order should a cleansing balm and a cleansing gel be used?
Start with the cleansing balm to remove makeup and oily residue. Continue with the cleansing gel, then rinse and gently dry the skin before applying eye contour, serum and cream.
Does cleansing help with visible pores and blemishes?
Yes. Suitable cleansing helps remove excess sebum, impurities and residue that can build up on the skin's surface and contribute to clogged pores and the appearance of blemishes. For skin concerned, favor a gentle yet purifying cleanser, combined if needed with actives such as salicylic acid, which helps unclog pores and refine skin texture. Avoid cleansing too often or with stripping products, however: the aim is to purify the skin while preserving its balance.
