Solid face cleanser: how to choose and use it?
Solid facial cleansers are appealing due to their compact size, but their use differs from gel in a bottle. The key is to create lather in your hands, avoid prolonged direct rubbing, and start with a frequency adapted to your skin.
What is the purpose of facial cleansing?
Cleansing removes excess sebum, sweat, dust, and product residue. It also prepares the skin to receive subsequent treatments. Cleansing more isn't always better: the action should leave the skin feeling comfortable.
How to use a solid facial cleanser?
- Wet your face and the product.
- Briefly lather the solid between your hands.
- Apply the lather with gentle movements.
- Avoid the direct eye area.
- Rinse and then pat dry with a clean towel.
The Balade en Provence Solid Facial Cleanser is available in two sizes. The small size is practical for trying out the product or for travel; the large size is for regular use.
Morning, evening, or both?
The frequency depends on your skin's comfort, makeup, activity, and the season. Evening is often the essential time. In the morning, some skin types appreciate a light cleanse, while others prefer just water.
Should you double cleanse?
If wearing makeup or resistant products, start with the Solid Make-up Remover Oil, then follow with the cleanser. If your skin feels tight, space out or simplify this step.
What to do after cleansing?
Apply a small amount of treatment. In the morning, discover the Day Balm. In the evening, the Night Balm completes a short routine.
How to store it?
Let the cleanser dry on an airy surface. Once dry, store or transport it in the Aluminum Face Tin. Avoid leaving it in a dish full of water.
