The Facial Cleanser: a kind yet powerful sensitive skin saviour
If you’re tired of struggling to find the perfect cleanser that addresses the unique needs of sensitive skin, you’re not alone. At Pestle and Mortar, we understand the challenges that come with delicate and reactive skin. Sensitive skin is characterised by heightened reactivity to external factors, leading to various skin concerns, such as eczema, acne, dry skin, and itchiness. Individuals with sensitive skin often experience discomfort and irritation, making it crucial to choose skincare products that are gentle and soothing.
Everyone deserves a skincare routine that is effective, gentle, and tailored to their specific needs, which is why we made The Facial Cleanser. In this post, you’ll learn why it is the cleanser your sensitive skin has been searching for.
THE SENSITIVE SKIN CLEANSING CHALLENGE
For those with sensitive skin, using the wrong cleanser can exacerbate the challenges they face. In a quest for hydration, you might turn to heavy, oil-based cleansers that end up clogging pores and leading to a persistent feeling of oiliness and discomfort.
Others unknowingly choose cleansers that contain harsh chemicals in an attempt to achieve a deep clean or address acne concerns, only to find themselves left with tight, unbalanced skin that triggers the overproduction of oil. This vicious cycle can lead to further breakouts and a compromised skin barrier, leaving you feeling frustrated and desperate for a solution that truly caters to your sensitive skin’s needs.
THE RIGHT CLEANSER IS CRITICAL FOR ECZEMA, ACNE, AND IRRITATION
Finding a suitable cleanser is crucial for individuals with sensitive skin. A gentle and effective cleanser can help maintain the skin’s natural balance, remove impurities without stripping away essential oils, and provide the necessary hydration and comfort. The Facial Cleanser is specially formulated to address the needs of sensitive skin. It offers a solution that promotes skin health, reduces irritation, and restores a sense of calm and comfort. By choosing the right cleanser, you can transform your skincare routine into a nourishing and soothing experience that effectively deals with sensitive skin concerns like eczema, acne, and irritation.
GLYCERIN: EXCELLENT FOR OILY AND ACNE-PRONE SKIN
As a humectant, glycerin has the remarkable ability to attract and retain moisture, ensuring that skin stays adequately hydrated without feeling greasy or weighed down. This hydration is vital for oily skin types, as it helps regulate sebum production and prevent the skin from overcompensating with excessive oiliness. By maintaining the skin’s moisture balance, glycerin effectively reduces clogged pores and breakouts. And because it is entirely non-comedogenic, it’s ideal for congested skin. The Facial Cleanser harnesses the soothing properties of glycerin to alleviate irritation, redness, and oiliness, and ensure that sensitive skin becomes more balanced, moisturised, and comfortable with every use.
THE PERFECT CLEANSER FOR ECZEMA
If you’re looking for a cleanser that caters to eczema-prone, dry, and itchy skin, The Facial Cleanser is the perfect solution. Fragrance-free and non-irritating, it provides a soothing and calming effect, making it ideal for individuals prone to eczema or psoriasis. With its unique blend of skin-conditioning ingredients, including glycerin, it not only protects and softens inflamed skin, but also works to strengthen the skin barrier. By attracting and retaining moisture, glycerin helps maintain optimal hydration levels, combat dryness and reduce the itchiness associated with these skin conditions. A soothing triglyceride boosts the skin barrier function and reduces moisture loss. With a silky feel and a comforting texture, the Facial Cleanser works hard to cleanse away impurities and remove excess oil without stripping the skin of natural moisture, leaving it feeling soft, hydrated, and free from irritation.
A SIMPLE 2-STEP ROUTINE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
A simple but highly effective 2-step routine for sensitive skin begins with The Facial Cleanser, to remove impurities and calm the skin without leaving it feeling dry or tight. Followed by Essentials, The Face Cream, a nourishing and hydrating moisturiser specially designed for sensitive skin, this duo is the perfect combination for a complete skincare regimen that leaves sensitive skin feeling comfortable, balanced, and beautifully cared for.
