It is essential to choose the right products to hydrate and nourish your skin from the very first cleansing step. No miracles are needed, but it takes perseverance, dedication, and patience to achieve the skin you have always wished for. And as you find the perfect ally to your skin care routine, there are no doubts: your skin will glow as never before.

Reading through this article, the importance of hydrating the skin from the very first cleansing step will be highlighted, thanks to the use of products that are enriched with nourishing ingredients. Here it is what you are about to learn:

The importance of the cleansing step

We will never get tired of highlighting the importance of the cleansing phase. A good skin care routine always begins with proper cleansing. This is why we are again dealing with this topic: to choose the right cleansing products is to achieve a glowing and radiant skin. Not only does cleansing mean removing makeup and impurities from your face, but also deeply hydrating the skin, particularly if we use the right products from this very first step. 

Cleansing the skin before going to bed is crucial for at least two reasons: firstly, once the skin has been properly cleaned, it will be ready to asborbe all the products that follow in  your skin care routine. Secondly, cleansing the face prevents impurities from accumulating on your face overnight

If right after the cleansing phase you feel that your skin is dry and tight, it may mean that something is going on with the products you use. This unpleasant sensation may be due to two different reasons: the former is that the product you use is not enriched enough with nourishing and hydrating ingredients; the latter is that it's the product itself that is impoverishing the lipid film of your skin, thus giving you a sensation of dryness and little elasticity, and also making your skin more fragile.

Using products that have proper amounts of nourishing and hydrating ingredients will make you say goodbye to dry and tight skin!

The cleansing step

The cleansing phase is the first step of a skin care routine. It is essential because it allows you to deeply cleanse and hydrate the skin, particularly if you know what products to use. 

Recently, a new beauty routine techinque has been introduced: we are talking about the Korean Skin Care, coming from Korea and Japan as the name suggests. 

Within this facial care routine, cleansing plays such an important role that it is divided into two separate steps: this is why this phase is called double cleansing. Double cleansing both cleanses and hydrates the skin because two different products are used: in the first step, an oil-based product acts by affinity as it is used to melt makeup and blemishes; in the second step, a foam-based product acts by contrast as it is used to wash away every residuals that might not have been removed during the first cleansing. 

To learn everything you need to know about double cleansing, read this article: Double cleansing: what is it and why is it important to do it?

Anyway, whichever your skin type is, there are products that can both deeply cleanse and hydrate the skin: our Oil Gel Cleanser - Face - Eyes - Lips is the product you are looking for.

Cleansing with Oil Gel Cleanser

At this point of the reading, it is time to unveil what product to use to cleanse and hydrate the skin all at once: it's our Oil Gel Clenaser - Face - Eyes - Lips.

This oil gel is a unique product, which is characterised by its rich, soft, and melting texture, that not only cleanses the skin and removes impurities, but also it hydrates it in-depth thanks to the ingredients with which it was specifically formulated. 

If ever you do a double cleansing, Oil Gel Cleanser is a perfect ally to add to your skin care routine. Apart from removing both makeup and impurities, it also cleanses the skin without leaving it oily and greasy: as soon as the oil touches the water, it will turn into a light and milky cream very easy to massage and rinse. It is right while massaging the oil that the ingredients spread their nourishing and hydrating qualities, leaving the skin soft and velvelty.

Ingredients of our Oil Gel Cleanser

Our Oil Gel Cleanser - Face - Eyes - Lips was formulated with natural and gentle ingredients to make it suitable for all skin types.

You will find: rosehip oil, which can be quickly and deeply absorbed; apricot oil, known for its nourishing and hydrating properties and suitable for all skin types, from mature to sensitive and even dry. These two oils are enhanced by vitamins E and F, known as the 'skin vitamin,' to nourish, tone, and soften facial skin

Sunflower seed oil and sweet almond oil also contribute to deeply hydrating the skin. In fact, the skin's lipid barrier can fully absorb sunflower seed oil, strengthening its barrier properties and helping to protect against moisture loss. Sweet almond oil is known for its emollient and moisturizing action, which is why we have included it in the ingredients of our Oil Gel Cleanser.

Carrot extract helps to moisturize the skin, protecting it from UV rays, while iris extract supports skin self-regulation processes. Thanks to the iris's ability to store and manage water resources, it facilitates a balanced supply of liquids to the skin layers, providing a refreshing, hydrating, and illuminating effect. Soybean oil allows our Oil Gel Cleanser to be used on all skin types: it can be used on both oily and dry skin as it is highly moisturizing and easily absorbed.

How to use Oil Gel Cleanser

Oil Gel Cleanser removes makeup from face, eyes, and lips without irritating such areas thanks to its gentle but versatile formula.

Oil Gel Cleanser is very easy to use: you will just need to apply a small amount of oil on dry face, massage it until it is melted, and then rinse. As the oil touches the water, it will turn into a light and milky cream that will wash makeup and bad thoughts away!

If preferred, you can use a cotton pad remover, even better if it's washable and reusable
