How to choose your cleansing balm or oil?

Como escolher o seu bálsamo ou óleo de limpeza?

The make-up remover, or the first skin cleansing with a balm or cleansing oil, is one of the most important steps in your routine, even if you don't use make-up. It's true, you read it right! This cleaning step is not just for removing make-up. Oil-based face cleansers (which are all make-up removers) also remove, for example, traces of pollution, the accumulation of sweat and sebum from the skin and sunscreen. And that's thanks to a simple rule: fat attracts fat. Makeup, pollution and excess sebum are precisely fatty substances that the oil emulsifies and eliminates without harming the skin. Thus, it is an essential step that will prepare your skin for all the other steps of your routine. t10>

There's no point in investing in expensive serums and creams, if you don't dedicate yourself first to doing a good double cleanse for the skin, which consists of first cleaning the skin with a balm or cleansing oil and then cleaning again with a cleansing cream, milk or foam. Otherwise, your pores will be too clogged to receive the wonderful ingredients in your skin care products.


Choose your cleansing balm or oil

All skin types (yes, even combination and oily) should use a cleansing oil.

The ideal product will depend on your skin type, the time you want to spend with your routine, your budget and your personal preference.

Dry or dehydrated skin

Use a rich, nourishing oil or balm that will not only help remove all impurities, but will nourish and satiate your skin thanks to the fatty acids it contains. Take the opportunity to do a facial massage, applying the product to dry skin and massaging well, before removing it with a face towel moistened with warm water. Your skin will thank you!

Normal to combination skin

The goal in these skin types is to limit dehydration and regulate excess sebum production in the T-zone.We will therefore opt for more fluid cleansing oils or balms that are gentle and not too heavy

Oily skin

Instinctively, we don't think about using an oil when we have oily skin: we are more tempted to use a good cleanser with an extra-fresh effect. But in fact, this can lead to your skin compensating for this extreme cleansing with even more sebum production! To break this vicious circle, opt for a cleansing oil that contains vegetable oils with cleansing powers. There are natural oils that are perfect for oily skin, which cleanse the skin without drying it out, but also without leaving it feeling greasy. After the cleansing oil, opt for a gentle product like a gel or a gentle cleansing foam to complete your skin cleansing routine!
