Cleansing gel – valuable tips for everyday use

Facial cleansing is an essential part of your face-care routine. We wash our faces with a good cleansing gel to prepare it for the further steps in our skincare routine. However, there are errors that can be made when using a facial cleansing gel. We’ll explain what you need to look out for to ensure your skin benefits from your care products.

Which cleansing gel is suitable for which skin type?

Make-up and dirt particles can have an impact on the skin on our face throughout the day. That makes it even more important to cleanse your skin properly every evening. The best way to do this is with a facial cleansing gel. Since a variety of different cleansing gels are now available, we offer some valuable tips on how to use them correctly.

• Cleansing gel for normal skin: A mild wash gel or a gentle cleansing milk make the most sense for normal skin. When combined with lukewarm water, these care products remove any unpleasant residue. The skin feels well-groomed and relaxed.
• Cleansing gel for dry skin: dry skin requires extra care. That's why it's best to reach for a cleansing product containing oil in this case. On the other hand, you should avoid gels that contain alcohol. These tend to irritate the skin and cause it to dry out even more.
• Cleansing gel for oily skin: a light anti-bacterial cleansing gel is the right choice for oily skin. These products contain special active ingredients which cleanse and calm the skin. This gives the complexion a clear, relaxed appearance.
• Cleansing gel for sensitive skin: sensitive skin needs a care product which is still effective without alcohol or fragrances. A mild face wash gel with pH-neutral ingredients is preferable.

If you’re not sure if your selected product is really right for you, carry out a small test before use. Use the cleansing gel and monitor your skin. If it feels well cared-for and soft, the product is right for your skin type. However, if your skin feels tight and irritated, you care product is too aggressive.

The best way to use your cleansing gel

A good facial cleansing routine only takes a few steps. It’s important to thoroughly cleanse and tone your skin. This prepares your skin for the further care steps. If you wear make-up, you should remove it from your skin every evening. Only in this way can the skin on your face recover and regenerate overnight.

Tip 1: Apply a little cleansing gel into the palms of your hands. Now spread the product across your face in circular motions. Once you have covered your entire face, you can remove the wash gel with lukewarm water. The water definitely shouldn’t be too hot. Your skin could have an adverse reaction and dry out. Now carefully pat your skin dry with a clean cloth. Rubbing it aggressively is not advised: This can damage the epidermis and leads to redness.

Tip 2: After cleansing, it’s time to tone your skin. A good face toner or tonic will stimulate the circulation to the skin on your face. If you like, you can then use a nourishing night cream. The mouth and eyes should, of course, be carefully avoided in all of these steps.

Tip 3: Don't use normal soap to cleanse your face. This soap is generally intended for washing your hands and not for the sensitive skin on the face.
