An essential part of any successful beauty routine, the facial cleansing gel gently removes impurities that have built up throughout the day whilst preserving your skin’s natural balance. At La Boutique Salle d’ô, we have carefully selected facial cleansers with gentle formulas, enriched with natural and organic active ingredients, suited to every skin type.

Why use a facial cleansing gel every day?

Every day, your facial skin is exposed to pollution, sebum, sweat and make-up. Simply rinsing with water is not enough to unclog the pores. Using a suitable facial cleanser helps to:

• Purify the skin: Remove micro-particles of pollution and make-up residue from the skin.
• Regulate sebum: Prevent a shiny appearance without stripping away the protective hydrolipidic film.
• Prevent blemishes: Minimise the appearance of spots, blackheads and enlarged pores.
• Optimise the effectiveness of your skincare: Perfectly clean skin absorbs your serums and moisturisers more effectively.

How to choose your cleansing gel according to your skin type?

As every skin type has specific needs, it is essential to choose a suitable formula so as not to damage the skin barrier:

1. Combination to oily and acne-prone skin

Opt for a purifying cleansing gel enriched with purifying and regulating active ingredients such as zinc, plant-based salicylic acid, sage or tea tree. It mattifies the complexion and gently tightens the pores.

2. Sensitive, reactive or redness-prone skin

Opt for a skin-soothing cleansing gel free from harsh sulphates, formulated with aloe vera, cornflower or chamomile. Its ultra-gentle gel-to-foam texture cleanses without leaving the skin feeling tight.

3. Dry to very dry skin

Choose a superfatted facial cleanser or a gel-oil formula enriched with vegetable glycerine and nourishing oils. It preserves the skin’s natural moisture right from the cleansing stage.

4. Normal or dull skin

A radiance-boosting cleansing gel containing fruit AHAs or vitamin C helps to revitalise the complexion’s radiance and smooth the skin’s texture day after day.

Tips for perfect facial cleansing

1. Moisten your face with lukewarm water (avoid water that is too hot, as this dries out the skin).
2. Apply a small amount of cleansing gel to the palms of your previously washed hands.
3. Gently massage your face using circular movements, paying particular attention to the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin).
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat your face dry gently with a clean towel.
