The Glow Cleansing Queens

Stopping dullness in its tracks, the Glow Cleansing Bundle is great for those looking to tackle fatigue, uneven skin tone or stubborn hyperpigmentation. Although AHA tends to be tolerated by most skin types, those with super sensitive skin should patch test before use.

Stick to lukewarm water: Although a splash of chilly water can be refreshing in the morning, many dermatologists believe that lukewarm is the ideal temperature for use on the face. This is because hot water can strip the skin of natural oils and lead to the skin becoming irritated and inflamed. It can also flare up the skin of those with conditions such as eczema, so the safest and most skin-respectful temperature is not too hot and not too cold.

Give it time: Allow yourself at least 60 seconds to massage your cleanser into the skin and give the formula a chance to get to work. A gentle massage in circular motions can help stimulate the lymphatic system, which boosts blood circulation for healthier, more energised skin.

Don’t forget your neck! Remember that your neck should be included in your skincare routine too. Take cleanser from your hairline down the neck and across the decolletage for a full freshen up. Our motto is from the nipples up and a great cleanser that works well for this is Skingredients PreProbiotic Cleanse Hydrating Cleanser (€29, skingredients.com). This nourishing cleanser contains Lactobacillus a dairy-free probiotic that boosts the skin’s natural moisturising factor for hydrated skin and Oligosaccharide, a hydrating and skin-soothing prebiotic that helps to prevent trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) and so gives back to the skin whilst also providing a thorough cleanse.
