Facial Cleansing and Its Importance for Healthy, Radiant Skin
Even if we embrace the philosophy of “skin minimalism”, using a facial cleanser remains an essential step for maintaining healthy and glowing skin.
It should always be the first step in your daily beauty routine, regardless of skin type or age.
Today, thorough cleansing is more important than ever. With increasing air pollution, our skin is constantly exposed to impurities and toxins that can negatively affect its health.
Water alone cannot effectively remove pollutants, sebum, dust, and residue from the skin — that’s why a proper facial cleanser is your best ally.
But air pollution isn’t the only reason you should cleanse your face daily.
Cleansing also prepares your skin to fully absorb skincare products and treatments that follow, allowing them to perform at their best.
How to Choose the Right Cleanser or Makeup Remover for Your Skin
The first thing to look for in a facial cleanser is which skin type and concern it is designed for.
If you’re unsure about your skin type or specific needs, choose a cleanser suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This ensures that the product respects your skin’s natural pH balance.
Next, make sure it contains gentle surfactants or cleansing agents that effectively remove impurities without causing irritation or dryness.
Ideally, your cleanser should also include mild antibacterial or antiseptic ingredients to support skin health.
One such product is Pure Mousse Cleansing Foam — a dermatologically tested formula that purifies the skin, removes impurities and excess sebum, and leaves it feeling fresh, soft, and balanced, without dryness.
It also offers mild astringent and antimicrobial action, thanks to a Radish Root Extract that helps protect the skin from harmful microorganisms.
Pure Mousse is suitable for all skin types and addresses even complex skin concerns such as acne, inflammatory dermatoses, rosacea, atopy, seborrheic dermatitis, and irritant dermatitis.
In addition to daily cleansing, proper makeup removal is equally important.
Choose a product suitable for both your facial skin and the delicate eye area.
While there are many types of makeup removers, our favorite is Micellar Cleansing Water because it minimizes friction, rinsing, and other actions that can stress the skin.
Micellar waters rely on micelle technology — tiny spherical molecules that attract and lift away dirt, oil, and makeup effortlessly.
Building on this technology, we developed Hydra Pure Micellar Water, enriched with Hyaluronic Acid for hydration and Radish Root Extract for mild antiseptic action.
It makes cleansing quick, effective, and gentle — all in one swipe. One use is enough to prove its effectiveness!
