Cleansing milk is a wonderful skin care product, that removes the day’s dirt and grime it has accumulated as well as makeup too.

The difference between cleansing milk and other face cleansers is that cleansing milk do not contain harsh chemicals or soaps, that can easily irritate certain skin types such as sensitive and dry skin types.

They do not require water to emulsify them and are usually made from natural, soothing ingredients.

If you suffer from acne or oily skin then you may find that a cleansing milk just isn’t tough enough to do the whole job and fight your acne.

Cleansing milk are often a popular choice, especially for those with dry and sensitive skin, as it has many soothing, replenishing and moisturising properties.

There is something luxurious associated with a cleansing milk. Whether it’s the naturally occurring scent that relaxes you, or the feeling as though you are truly caring for your skin as if you’re wrapping it into a warm, soft blanket, that your skin will be cared for within. It’s a wonderful product to have in your skincare regime.

So what is a cleansing milk?

A cleansing milk is naturally light and gentle, and won’t strip your skin of its natural oils, resulting in your skin feeling protected and hydrated.

Whether you’re using it in the morning or the evening, it is gentle enough to use at both times of the day, yet works hard to remove all makeup too.

How does a cleansing milk work?

Even though a cleansing milk is gentle, it is still tough on removing the dirt from the day.  It works by, cleaning deep into your pores, removing grime. It does especially well when used to double cleanse.

Firstly, you use it to remove makeup and the top layer of dirt, then you cleanse again to allow the cleanser to get deeper into the pores, to help prevent any spots from occurring and to soothe the skin.

Benefits of a cleansing milk

By cleansing your skin morning and night with a cleansing milk, you are not only removing any impurities and makeup that build up throughout the day and overnight, but you are also enhancing your skin with hydration, helping to keep it soft and supple.

Think of cleansing milk as a stripped back, soothing, relaxing but hard working lotion that packs a punch.

When and how to use a cleansing milk?

As mentioned previously, you can use your cleansing milk both in the morning and in the evening.

You’ll use the cleansing milk as your first step in your skincare regime. Gently massage your cleansing milk lotion into your face and neck, covering all areas.

When you’re done, wipe away either with a cotton pad, splash with water or use a wet flannel to gently wipe the cleanser away.
