Facial cleansing routines are often confused and, with it, the products needed to carry them out. Read on to find out the difference between a makeup remover and a facial cleanser, and take your skin to the next level.
Did you also live in the days when using hand soap to clean the skin on your face was the norm? You don’t know how I understand you! I remember that feeling of dryness and strangeness as it felt unnaturally ‘clean’.
Don’t get me wrong! This product is great for keeping the skin on other parts of your body flawless, but not for your face. Did you know that it usually contains sodium lauryl sulfate or other irritating ingredients? Keep it in its box when it comes to taking care of your complexion!
During all these years, the evolution in skin cleansing has been gigantic and now, fortunately, we have awide collection of products adapted exactly to every need according to skin type and taste. Sometimes, they are so specific that they are very similar or almost identical to the eyes of beginners.
Let’s get started! First, choose between a Cleanser and a Makeup Remover. Wait… isn’t it the same thing? Not at all! Each of these products is adapted to a different lifestyle and skin type. Want to know the difference between the two? Let’s get to it
What is the difference between a makeup remover and a facial cleanser?
Let’s get down to business! While the make-up remover is designed to remove traces of make-up and dirt, the facial cleanser removes impurities, dirt, pollution and cleans pores in a deeper way.

Which one is best suited to your skin type?
My recommendation? Use both! While the makeup remover is ideal for dry skin and the cleanser for oily skin, double cleansing will take your skin to the next level. To do this correctly, it is best to choose a balanced combination of the two types. Use a gentle makeup remover that hydrates your skin before finishing with a deep foaming cleanser. Although this technique requires a little more time, I promise you, you will see amazing results!
