Cleansing foam with low pH

Facial cleansing the Korean way

Every skin needs gentle but effective cleansing - even very dry and especially oily skin. Rinsing your face with water in the morning is enough for most, but in the evening it is very important to wash your face thoroughly with a suitable cleansing product.

The best facial cleansing - for dry skin, oily skin, mature skin, sensitive skin, and combination skin

The best product for facial cleansing depends on your skin type, your skin condition, and your personal preferences. What type of cleansing product do you find pleasant to use?

First, examine your skin to find out your skin type. Then consider what you need from your cleansing product: do you wear a lot of makeup? If so, choose an effective cleansing oil or cleansing balm as the first step. If you never wear makeup, a carefully selected cleansing product that is still effective enough to clean dirt, sebum, and for example sunscreen at once may be enough - such as [Some By Mi] Propolis B5 Glow Barrier Calming Oil to Foam. Do you hate removing makeup and want to spend as little time and effort as possible? Try cleansing pads.

After considering what type of cleansing you need for the first step in your routine, you can think about what you miss from the cleansing itself. If your skin is oily and/or prone to acne, choose a product that balances sebum production and soothes as well as prevents inflammation, like [VT Cosmetics] Cica Mild Foam Cleanser. Similarly, if your skin is very dry, choose a gentle cleansing product that moisturizes the skin while cleansing, like our bestseller [About Me] Rice Makgeolli Cleansing Foam.

Do you have to wash your face in the morning?

For most, we recommend just rinsing the face with water in the morning. This way, you avoid over-cleansing the skin, which can lead to disruptions in the skin's protective barrier and thus to irritation, dryness, and inflammation.

But if your skin is very oily, either always or for example at a certain time of the month, it may be necessary to wash the skin with a mild water-based cleansing product even in the morning. Double cleansing is not necessary in the morning; one step is enough.
