Cleansing cream – nourishes and cleanses stressed skin

A cleansing cream combines the mild cleaning action of a facial cleanser with nourishing care. Leaving behind a thin film that protects the skin against harmful environmental influences, the products thoroughly remove sebum, dirt and make-up. parfumdreams offers a wide assortment of facial cleansing creams for a variety of different skin care needs.

How does a facial cleansing cream work?

A good face cleansing cream contains mild, active cleansing agents combined with a variety of nourishing ingredients. The consistency is similar to a rich cream. It contains lipids that, once applied, leave behind a delicate protective film. This strengthens the resilience of the epidermis, and damage caused by environmental influences. Cleansing creams are an ideal way of preparing the skin for the next stage of face care. They leave the skin feeling pleasantly soft and clean.

Depending on its composition, a facial cleansing cream is ideal for gently cleansing and nourishing dry, sensitive skin. It helps protect the skin from redness, itching, dryness and micro-cracking brought on by the cold during the winter months. The products are gentle on the skin thanks to their soap-free consistency. There are also formulations for skin that is oily, normal or prone to impurities./p>

What qualities does a good facial cleansing cream have?

A good cleansing cream has a creamy consistency. It glides across the face easily and can be simply removed with water. Mixed with water the cream forms a lightweight foam that instantly leaves the skin feeling wonderful. It leaves the skin feeling soft and fresh with no hint of tightness. Cleansing creams are composed in such a way that they can refine the pores and prevent skin impurities. Make sure to choose a cleansing product that is tailored to the individual needs of your skin. Your skin may otherwise feel tight or irritated.

The perfect cleanser for different skin types

When selecting a cleansing cream for the face, think about your individual skin type. The products have various ingredients that meet different requirements and have different effects. For example, there are special face cleansing creams for dry, oily and sensitive skin. Other products are good for treating spots or are suitable for the basic care of skin diseases such as neurodermatitis and psoriasis.

People with sensitive skin should opt for soap-free formulations that are free of synthetic preservatives and skin-irritating fragrances. These products contain soothing, moisturising ingredients, including:

• Aloe Vera
• Glycerine
• Calendula
• Manuka oil
• Panthenol
• Hamamelis

If you have very sensitive skin, avoid products with perfume, colourants or alcohol, as these can promote reactions.

Oily skin will benefit from products that do not contain oily lipids. Cleansing creams with almond or peach kernel oil remove excess oil and prevent pores from becoming clogged. Rosemary clarifies the skin and helps to regulate sebum production. Rich oils such as jojoba, avocado, sesame or Macadamia oil are mainly used in creams suitable for nourishing and cleansing of dry skin.

A cleansing cream helps to keep normal skin well balanced. Valuable ingredients such as vitamins A and E protect the skin from free radicals and have a skin-smoothing effect. Amino acids and hyaluronic acid hydrate. Ceramides protect the natural barrier of the skin. Skin with impurities benefit from cleansing creams with chamomile. Chamomile has an antibacterial effect, it purifies the skin and soothes inflammation. Olive oil, lauric acid, microsilver and zinc can also improve the appearance of the skin.

How to use a cleansing cream correctly

To use, mix the facial cleansing cream with a little water to create a foamy lather. Gently massage the product into the skin of your face with your fingertips. Even if applied only briefly, the cream will leave your skin feeling pleasantly fresh. Rinse off with warm water. The protective film left behind effectively guards the skin against damage and ready for the next stage of skin care.
