Facial cleansing milk: what is it?
Highly pleasant due to its creamy formula, the cleansing milk allows for skin cleansing without harshness. 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 (demineralized water, floral waters...) that 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.
Sebum, sweat, pollution... it effectively and gently rids the facial skin of all 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 protect the skin from external elements and contribute to preventing skin dehydration by preserving the skin's natural protective barrier;

Guidelines for applying facial cleansing milk.
In order to reap the benefits of the cleansing milk, it is important to know how to use it properly. Easy 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 up the product, apply it to your previously dampened 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 cleansing product. Choosing to use a cleansing milk does not mean skipping the moisturizing cream, even with the feeling of hydrated skin left by the treatment.
