Welcome back, lover of all things beauty and skincare! In this article, I’m going to explain the benefits of powdered facial cleansers. Women in Korea and Japan have long understood the numerous benefits of powdered facial cleansers, yet, we in the west have been slower to take them up. The interest in skin care has traditionally not been as great as in the east. Could it be we’ve become set in our ways with harsh, dull and sometimes ineffective foaming surfactant based cleansers, cleansing wipes and micellar water? So – if you fancy it, it’s time to shake it up and try some new and exciting cleansers! But first, what is a powdered facial cleanser? So what’s the difference between a powdered facial cleanser, and other types of cleanser? It’s all down to the texture. Powdered facial cleansers – as the name suggests – come in a powdered format that…
Cleansing, especially with HoliFrog cleansers, is the best part of my daily skincare routine. It prepares me for the day, and it helps me unwind at night. It’s a loving ritual towards myself; a refreshing yet comforting mood-boosting experience that I always look forward to! And it goes without saying that cleansing is really important for healthy and good looking skin. It removes makeup and dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells, and prepares skin for further treatments. It’s so much more than just removing daily makeup and grime! Have a skincare concern? There’s a cleanser for that, since many great cleansers are tailored towards your specific skin concern. Breakouts or dull skin? Try an acid wash with smoothing AHAs. Dry, uncomfortable skin? Try a milky wash with calming fatty acids and aloe vera. I’m always excited to try new and interesting cleansers, so I was hopping on my seat…
In this post, I’m sharing my favourite Mádara cleansers. It goes without saying that cleansing is one of the most important steps of any skincare routine. Most people have figured out their favourite way to cleanse, whether it be with oil, balm, gel, or a creamy or milky cleanser. Personally, I like thick creamy cleansers, and foaming or gel cleansers. Although it’s not for everybody, I double cleanse after wearing makeup. I like the way my skin feels perfectly clean afterwards. Double cleansing keeps my hormonal outbreaks to a minimum, and my combination skin happy. I have tried both the oil and balm cleansing methods, but found it a little harder to remove my makeup – although I know others swear by it. As part of the LoveLula blogger scheme, I’m always on the lookout for new creamy cleansers to remove my makeup, and foaming or gel cleansers to complete my…
