How To Cleanse Skin

Hi, I'm Simon. I am the brand manager for Melvita in the UK. Melvita is France's largest certified organic beauty brand, and so today, we are going to help you to cleanse correctly for your particular skin type.

Of course, in order to know which cleanser you should be using, first of all, you need to consider the five factors that govern your skin type. The five factors are: pore size, skin texture, oil production, hydration and also finally, complexion and redness. Dry skin is lacking in both oil, and water moisture, and so it can appear like crepe, with visible fine dehydration lines.

Dry skin can also be prone to redness or flakiness. Finally, dry skin tends not to show pores, so they tend to be very small and refined. It's best therefore, to use a cream based cleanser.

Emma is using Comfort Intense Cream Cleanser and is massaging this all over the face. Sometimes, we think that using cream cleanser can take a longer time than using something in the shower or the bath, and so it's important if you have dry skin, you really want to splash your face and rinse your face with water. So, choose a cleanser that is going to fit in with your skin type.

We have chosen Extra Soft Soap from Melvita. The important thing to remember once you have cleansed your skin, is that your skin shouldn't feel too taut or dry after the cleansing process. So now we are going to show you how to clean normal skin.

Normal skin is of a smooth texture with few fine lines and very little redness. The great thing about normal skin is that the pores also feel and appear, refined. Simply massage this product into the skin and rinse off with warm water.

If you want a really quick way to clean normal or sensitive skin, why not try Micellar water. Oily skin tends to prefer cleaning with a light gel that foams. Oily skin can be identified by finding a visible sheen on the skin, and it can become shiny as the day progresses.

Oily skin can also appear congested or display open pores. Simply massage this product into the skin and then rinse off with water at the basin, or in the shower. And that is how you cleanse for your skin type.
