The Importance of Cleansing

With an array of beauty products and numerous ‘steps’ in today’s typical beauty routine, while in search of the perfect product combination for ageless and radiant skin, many often neglect one of the most important products and foundation of any skincare regime – cleansing. Cleansing has evolved through the years from a single product to multiple products that comes in different forms that supposedly serves varying purposes. Today, we will be exploring the importance of cleansing and its role in prevent ageing as well as OM’s simple two step cleansing routine.

 

Why use a cleanser?

Daily cleansing, alongside using sunscreen, is the most important step, in your skincare routine. First and foremost, cleansing removes access oil and inevitable build up which accumulates on the skin. Pollutants and other naturally occurring elements can clog pores, stress the skin, and weaken the skin’s natural skin barrier, leading to sensitized skin and accelerating the skin’s ageing process. If you use makeup, it is even more important to ensure you are using an appropriate cleanser to remove makeup and cleanse.

A proper cleanser removes dirt and grime without stripping the skin of its natural oils. This ensures that your skin is cleansed without affecting the skin barrier’s integrity. Overly drying the skin and improper cleansing are both factors that can lead to accelerated signs of ageing. Therefore, selecting an appropriate cleanser and cleansing twice a day is a crucial start and an important step in any skincare routine. Some cleansers even include certain ingredients to address specific skin concerns.

 

OM Skin Cleansers

Properly cleansed and hydrated skin sets a good base for penetration of skincare products. We love OM’s Calendula and Sage Cleansing Milks. Paired with OM’s toners, this two-step cleansing routine keeps cleanses, nourishes, and hydrates the skin without compromising the skin barrier.

The Calendula Cleansing Milk is ideal for removing makeup and for dry skin types. This gentle botanical formula nourishes and brightens the skin while cleansing. The Sage Cleansing Milk is more suited for blemish prone skin types. Detoxifying and purifying, sage extracts work to decongest and deeply cleanse the skin. Simply massage any OM Cleansing Milk into your skin and swipe off the residue with any of OM’s toner for a deep, hydrating cleanse.
