Popular Q&A's for Cleansers & Scrubs

1. What are the different cleanser types available?

Everybody's skin type is unique so it's important to find the right style of face cleanser for your natural beauty routine. Dry and mature skin types love creamy and milk cleansers while oily and blemish prone skin often find foaming facial cleansers or charcoal cleansers work best. Micellar water is a gentle option that uses tiny molecules called micelles to attract makeup, dirt and excess oils away from the skin, making it great for all skin types.

2. What is "Double Cleansing" and when should I use it?

Double cleansing is a great way to achieve a super deep clean while leaving your skin feeling fresh and hydrated. Ideal for removing stubborn makeup and sunscreen, double cleansing uses a 2-step process suitable for all skin types. The first step involves an oil cleanse to attract and lift excess oil and makeup from the skin. The second step uses a regular gel or milk cleanser to remove any residue, then follow with toners to complete your routine.

3. What are facial exfoliants and why are they important?

Facial exfoliants are fantastic for removing dead skin cells and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. They work to unblock pores and improve the appearance of skin texture, revealing a fresh layer of skin for your serums to absorb more effectively. You can choose between physical exfoliants with ingredients like jojoba beads and fruit pulp, or chemical exfoliants using fruit acids and enzymes.

4. How do I choose the right cleanser and exfoliant for my skin type?

For dry skin, choose milk cleansers, cleansing oils or balms with hydrating ingredients like Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E. Oily skin benefits from foaming cleansers with charcoal or AHAs, plus gentle exfoliants with glycolic acid. Sensitive skin types should opt for gentle cleansers and super fine grain exfoliants. Look for products with hyaluronic acid for added hydration across all skin types.

5. How often should I cleanse and exfoliate?

Cleanse twice daily - morning and evening - to maintain healthy-looking skin. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week, but start slowly to see how your skin responds. Over-exfoliating can cause irritation and dryness, so listen to your skin and adjust frequency as needed. Always exfoliate after cleansing so products can work directly on clean skin, then continue with your regular routine of toners, serums and moisturisers.
