Which Cleanser is Right for Me?
When we talk about beauty rituals, it's easy to get caught up in complexity, but at its core, the act of cleansing is beautifully simple and universal. Washing your face can be a moment of self-care, a time to let go of the day’s worries and to make room for renewal. Many clients ask, "Which cleanser is right for me?"
We have two beautiful types of facial cleansers to support different skin types and needs. Each is crafted with care and intention to provide a deeply nourishing and rejuvenating experience. Both cleansers are designed to protect the skin's natural barrier and maintain its pH balance, which is essential for overall skin health. By preserving this delicate balance, our cleansers help to prevent irritation, dryness, and breakouts, ensuring your skin remains resilient and radiant.
Purifying Cleansing Gel
Purifying Cleansing Gel is the perfect go-to for oily skin and acne-prone skin, especially in warm climates. Infused with the uplifting energy of Spearmint, Purifying Cleansing Gel helps clarify the skin while invigorating the senses. Spearmint has natural antibacterial properties that help to purify and reduce acne-causing bacteria, for a clear, refreshed complexion.
The addition of nutrient-rich Alfalfa Leaf brings an abundance of vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and iron, to the formula. These nutrients work together to nourish the skin, promote cell regeneration, and improve overall skin health. Alfalfa leaf also has detoxifying properties, helping to cleanse skin of impurities and encouraging balance.
Aloe Leaf Juice is celebrated for its ability to replenish hydration and an abundance of nutrients and vitamins, including beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, and amino acids. Calming Aloe Leaf helps to soothe and moisturize the skin, contributing to a brighter and more even complexion. Cucumber, another key ingredient, encourages moisture and helps diminish hyperpigmentation while providing legendary soothing effects, especially for the delicate tissue around the eyes.
When massaging Purifying Cleansing Gel into the skin in the morning, take a moment to inhale the invigorating scent of Spearmint to prepare you for a fresh start.
Cleansing Milk
Cleansing Milk’s soothing blend incorporates Lavender and Fo-Ti to gently wash away impurities and leave your complexion refreshed, soft, and radiant. Lavender is a celebrated herbal remedy and loved for its ability to bring calm to the skin and spirit.
Fo-Ti, a Japanese herb renowned for its detoxifying properties, contains zinc, powerful antioxidants, and alkaloids that demonstrate rejuvenating effects. Fo-Ti helps protect the skin’s natural pH balance, making it a wonderful option for maintaining skin health, especially for sensitive skin.
Grapefruit adds a fresh burst of Vitamin C, encouraging collagen production and creating fresh elasticity. It acts as a supreme decongestant and helps boost antioxidant bioflavonoids, which can protect the skin from free radicals.
In the evening, allow the calming aroma of Cleansing Milk to envelop you. Massage it gently into your skin, washing away the day’s impurities and stresses, allowing yourself to unwind and relax into a comforting nighttime ritual.
Which cleanser is right for me?
We suggest the following cleansing routine, which many love, while those with specific skin concerns might choose one or another. Listen to your skin and choose what feels best for you.
Morning
Purifying Cleansing Gel brings the uplifting power of Spearmint to help start your day. This gently foaming wash leaves the skin feeling bright, soft and fresh.
Evening
Cleansing Milk, with soothing Lavender, delicately washes away impurities to end your day with nurturing calm.
Generally, Purifying Cleansing Gel is well suited to oily, acne-prone and combination skin, while Cleansing Milk is ideal for dry, sensitive, and mature skin. However, skin’s needs can change with the seasons, diet, stress levels, and the environment. By paying attention to how your skin feels and responds, you can adjust your skin care routine to better suit its current state.
For instance, during the colder months, Cleansing Milk in both morning and evening provides extra hydration to combat dry skin, which is so common in the wintertime. During warmer months, or in a warmer climate, Purifying Cleansing Gel encourages a clear, balanced complexion by removing dirt and impurities clogging your pores but won’t over strip the skin, unlike many gel cleansers.
When your skin feels tight, it might be a sign that your cleanser is too harsh or stripping away too much of your natural oils. In such cases, gentle Cleansing Milk can help maintain skin’s natural balance without causing irritation.
Our cleansers can be a beautiful part of your routine and transform face washing into a cherished ritual, supporting awakening in the morning and easeful calm in the evening.
