Washing your face is one of the most important parts of any skincare routine. This simple procedure helps to remove dirt, grime, excess sebum and make-up residue from the surface of your skin, preparing it for toning and moisturising. Ukrainian beauty brand Dr. Sante Cucumber Balance Control presents quality and affordable face washes for normal, oily and combination skin.
Many people simply use bar soap to wash their face. Although high-quality soap based on vegetable oils such as olive oil may indeed by a good choice if you have no skin problems, dermatologists generally warn against using bar soap as a facial cleanser. Bar soaps have a higher pH level than face washes. Because of this, they can be drying to the skin. Although some people think that this is actually good for oily skin, they are wrong. When stripped of moisture, oily skin begins to produce even more sebum to make up for it, which leads to clogged pores, blackheads, acne, and greasy shine.
If you have oily or combination skin that requires thorough cleansing, you need to find a face wash that effectively removes excess sebum and unclogs pores without stripping your skin of moisture and natural protection. For example, Ukrainian beauty brand Dr. Sante Cucumber Balance Control offers Gentle Gel Peeling Cleanser specifically designed for oily skin prone to breakouts. It contains tiny exfoliating particles that remove dead skin cells, oily build-up and make-up residue without scratching the skin.
Alongside exfoliating particles, the cleanser contains cucumber extract, white tea extract and allantoin. Cucumber extract is a great moisturiser. It helps to regulate sebum secretion and produces a refreshing effect. White tea extract is rich in antioxidants that neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals and prevent premature skin ageing. Allantoin is an active ingredient with a moisturising and keratolytic effect; it prevents dehydration, stimulates skin renewal, and has soothing and anti-irritant properties.
Together, these natural ingredients unclog and shrink pores, improve complexion, prevent irritation and inflammation, make the skin softer and smoother, keep it hydrated, and produce a matte effect. The cleanser contains only mild surfactants with a very delicate cleansing effect; it is free of SLS/SLES, parabens, and other potentially harmful or irritating ingredients. Despite containing exfoliating particles, the product is perfectly suitable for everyday use.
If you need a lighter face wash that doesn’t have an exfoliating effect, check out the brand’s Foam Cleanser. This is a very delicate cleanser for oily and combination skin with a light, airy texture that contains only very mild surfactants. It easily removes dirt, excess sebum and make-up residue without drying your skin out, makes the skin softer and smoother, and prevents greasy shine.
Key ingredients contained in the product include cucumber extract, saw palmetto extract, white tea extract, allantoin, panthenol. We’ve already described three of them above, so let’s concentrate on the remaining two. Saw palmetto extract helps to regulate sebum secretion and produces a matte effect. Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a common ingredient in over-the-counter cosmetics and ointments because it improves hydration, reduces skin itching and inflammation, improves skin elasticity, and stimulates skin cell renewal. Just like Dr. Sante’s gel cleanser, this foam cleanser is suitable for daily use. It can even be used to remove eye make-up.
Both face washes by Dr. Sante Cucumber Balance Control are perfect for taking care of oily and combination skin. When used regularly, they effectively prevent enlarged and clogged pores, blackheads, acne, red and irritated skin. These face washes keep the skin looking and feeling fresh throughout the day.
