Facial cleansing milk: what is it?
Highly pleasant due to its creamy formula, the cleansing milk allows for skin cleansing without causing harm. It is the result of a emulsion between a lipid phase and an aqueous phase. The phase rich in fatty substances (vegetable oils, fatty alcohols...) facilitates the removal of impurities present on the epidermis. Moreover, it is combined with an aqueous phase (demineralised water, floral waters...) which makes the texture fluid and light, contributing to the hydration of the epidermis. It thus helps to maintain a fresh and radiant complexion daily. Tonic, regenerating, soothing... it can also offer additional properties depending on its composition. The cleansing milk is suitable for all skin types. Due to its rich formula, it is particularly recommended for people with dry, mature and sensitive skin.
The properties of facial cleansing milk.
Gently cleanses: Sebum, sweat, pollution... it effectively and gently rids the facial skin of all the impurities that accumulate throughout the day;
Hydrates and protects the epidermis: The cleansing milk contains hydrating agents that provide suppleness and comfort to the skin. Indeed, they help to protect the skin from external elements and contribute to preventing skin dehydration by preserving the skin's natural protective barrier;
Soothes and respects the physiological balance of the skin: Some cleansing milks may contain ingredients with calming and softening properties that provide a sense of comfort to the skin and soothe tightness, in addition to their creamy texture.
Advice on applying facial cleansing milk.
In order to reap the benefits of the cleansing milk, it is important to know how to use it correctly. Simple to use, convenient and very quick, all you need to do is take a small amount of the cleansing milk in the palm of your hand. After warming the product, apply it to your damp face and neck, making small circular movements from the inside out. You can also use a cotton pad. To finish, rinse your face thoroughly with warm water to remove any excess cleanser. Opting for a cleansing milk does not mean skipping the moisturising cream, even with the feeling of hydrated skin left by the treatment.
