There are so many cleansers and toners to choose from. So you need to know if one cleanser is enough or if you need more than one. 

This guide can help you to understand what cleansers actually do. Get to know when you should pick a single facial cleanser and how a toner finishes the job. Find tips to pick the right ingredients for your skin type, your skin needs, and a simple routine to follow for clean and glowing skin.

Why Cleansing Matters for a Glowing and Healthy-Looking Skin?

Your skin has to face many harsh conditions. The oil and dirt get built up on your skin which leads to many concerns. Pollutants, weather elements, makeup, sunscreens - water alone cannot dissolve the oil-based impurities that pile up on your skin daily. 

Florencia cleansers are formulated with natural, plant-based surfactants that safely encapsulate these oily residues, allowing them to be fully rinsed away without damaging your skin barrier.

• Remove impurities and makeup
  Cleansers lift away dirt, oil, sweat, and pollution that build up on skin every day.
  

• Protect your skin's barrier
  A good cleanser cleans without removing natural oils. This allows your skin to stay hydrated. 

• Allows products to work effectively
  Clean skin allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate and work better

• Provide longevity and healthy-looking skin.

How Many Cleansers Should You Have?

How many face cleansers? The answer is - as many as your skin requires. Every cleanser on the market is formulated to serve not just one and only one skin type. Most of them are suitable for different types of skin and for different needs of skin. Of course, you don’t want to use a heavy oily cleanser on oily and acne-prone skin types, but oil-free cleanser and exfoliating cleansers are very welcome. As well as  a dry and sensitive skin will benefit from soothing hydrating face cleanser and gel revitalizing, oxygenating cleanser. Well, depending on your skin needs, not only can a cleanser provide deep cleansing, but it can supply the skin with hydration, revitalization, or exfoliation.   We recommend having at least a couple of cleansers to meet your skin’s needs.

What are the Steps to Follow for a Daily Cleansing Routine?

Cleansing is a very important first step of your home skincare. However, this step is incomplete without using a face toner to balance your skin.

Why Toners? Use a toner right after cleansing to remove leftover impurities, balance your skin's pH, and hydrate or exfoliate your skin. Balanced, refreshed skin is ready for serum and moisturizer.
