Find the right make-up remover for your skin 

Most of the time, it's a neglected step, done quickly... We're talking about cleansing your skinat least especially make-up removal. Fatigue at the end of the day, children to look after or the desire to simply relax... We often tend to think that a cotton pad ofmicellar water applied in a hurry is enough to to remove make-upand we don't care if it feels tight or red. Wrong! Not only is the skin not perfectly clean, but an unsuitable cleanser will accentuate minor skin concerns. To finally obtain healthy, perfectly clean skin, opt for double cleansing a two-step cleansing process combining make-up removal with oil or cleansing balm with skin cleansing with a gentle foaming milk or gel. The advantage? The first oily step eliminates all impurities impurities, while the second step refines the work and begins to treat skin problems (such as sensitivities, dehydration or imperfections). Discover how to find the right make-up remover for your skin.

Cleansing and make-up removal habits that need to stop 

Micellar water: Initially, this product was created backstage at fashion shows, to remove make-up from the tops between 2 shows. These lotions are very rich in detergents that denature the hydrolipidic film. And when the lipid barrier is compromised, dehydration and sensitivities follow!

Make-up remover wipes This is the same problem as with micellar water: wipes are a nomadic product designed for one-off use. Impurities are displaced rather than removed. Here too, the skin can react by multiplying irritations and pimples.

Just water: to eliminate impurities, they need to be encapsulated in a "vehicle". Applying just water to your face is useless. Imagine the result if you washed your dishes with just a little water...

Shower gel For the body, this product is often packed with foaming detergents and colorants. It therefore dissolves the hydrolipidic film, leading to massive dehydration and sensitivities.

Cleansing oil or cleansing balm?

Granted, the use of an oil-based product may seem totally counter-intuitive, especially if you have combination or oily skin. And yet! Cleansing oil (made up mainly of one or more plant oils), acts like a magnet, attracting greasy substances, and as it respects the hydrolipidic film by not removing it, the skin is protected from any irritation or dehydration.

On the other hand, if you have dry skin, we recommend that you use a cleansing balm or a natural cleansing oil based on rich plant oils such as avocado or wild rose oil. Dry skin lacking in lipids is thus perfectly protected from dryness, and benefits from the nourishing and softening properties of plant oils.

Choosing the right Cleansing Oil for your face

Contrary to popular belief, all skin types (yes, even combination and oily skin) can use a skincare oil, to remove make-up, cleanse or moisturize. In fact, it's the best option for removing make-up and effectively eliminate all the impurities accumulated during the day. And that's thanks to one simple rule: grease attracts grease. Make-up, pollution and excess sebum are precisely the kind of greasy substances that skincare oil will emulsify. care oil will emulsify and eliminatewithout aggression. So stop wasting cotton pads and switch to cleansing oilit won't even take longer...

For dry or dehydrated skin

To remove make-up from dry or dehydrated skin, treat yourself to rich, creamy oils or even balms. Massage into dry skin, then rinse with water. In addition to removing make-up, oil will soften skin and even nourish it, thanks to the fatty acids it contains. Now that's something to reconcile you with the make-up removal ritualNo more tight skin! Next, we move on to the second cleanser, preferably a milk to complete the cleansing.

Which make-up remover for Normal to Combination skin?

To limit dehydration and regulate excess sebum, cleansing oil has all the makings. Lucky for normal skin, there's a choice of fluid oils or balms. For combination skinFor combination skin, we recommend rather light oils to soothe tight cheeks and the T-zone, which can sometimes be a bit temperamental...

How do I remove make-up from oily skin?

Instinctively, when we have oily skin, we don't necessarily think of using an oil: we're more tempted by the single use of a good cleansing gel with its extra-fresh effect. A mistake! Sebum, which acts as the skin's protector, will feel attacked and start producing more and more. To break this vicious circle, opt for a make-up-removing oil containing plant oils with cleansing properties. Then opt for a non-detergent cleansing gel or clay gel, for flawless skin.

Which make-up remover for mature skin?

Did you know that skin ageing can be combated as early as the cleansing stage? Mature skin tends to lose lipids and therefore suffer from dryness more easily. We therefore choose rich oils, or even cleansing balms to restore lipid structure, rehydrate and even revitalize. Look out for vitamins, which provide precious antioxidants for enhanced anti-aging action!

As you can see, make-up removal using a cleansing oil is THE most respectful method, whatever your skin type, and doesn't even require cotton pads. Always use it on dry skin (even on the eyes, since oil removes even waterproof mascara very well) and then rinse off with lukewarm water, before using a cleansing gel or milk... and you're done!
