Our #1 tip for healthy, beautiful skin? Cleanse your face!

No face cream, lotion or serum can fully work if the cleansing step is inadequate or neglected. That's right: it's essential to cleanse your skin properly, day after day, to discover healthy, luminous skin. However, properly cleansing the skin on your face doesn't mean stripping it: by using make-up remover and facial scrubs that are too abrasive on a daily basis, you run the risk of sensitizing and/or dehydrating your skin by altering the cutaneous barrier. To cleanse your face properly, a few simple, quick gestures are all you need. Finally, it's essential to use the right products for your skin type. At Oh My Cream, our mission is to select the best face care products for you, so that you can look after your skin and achieve visible results. 

Which face make-up remover do we prefer at Oh My Cream?

The first step to optimal facial cleansing is make-up removal. It's very important to use a make-up remover every night, even if you don't wear make-up. During the day, all kinds of impurities are deposited on your face, not all of which are visible to the naked eye: pollution, perspiration, excess sebum, sunscreen residues, etc. All skin types therefore need make-up remover. As a result, all skin types need deep cleansing. At Oh My Cream, we prefer cleansing oils and balmswhich have an oily base that enables them to remove all impurities, without ever attacking the skin. 

What's our favourite facial cleansing method?

If you've never heard of the double cleansing method, it's time to do something about it :-) It's a way of cleansing the face in two stages: first using a cleansing oil or balm, followed by a facial cleanser to complete the cleansing. At Oh My Cream, we swear by this method! The reason? It's the gentlest and most complete method, whatever your skin type. Not sure which facial cleanser to choose?

How to use a facial scrub

For an effective and complete facial cleansing routine, it's very important to exfoliate your face with a facial scrub once or twice a week, depending on your skin type and sensitivity. At Oh My Cream, we prefer grain-free face scrubs, which are less abrasive than grainy face scrubs, and we offer you a selection of enzymatic and chemical face scrubs. The latter nibble away at the small dead skin cells on the surface of your epidermis, boosting cell renewal at the same time. The result is soft, clear and more even skin!
