To cleanse or not to cleanse….that is the question
Well, the answer is always cleanse, but why? It’s safe to say there are many people who are the ‘soap and water’ kind when it comes to cleaning their face. It’s cheap and your product never needs to leave the shower. Sounds like a winner to some, I’m sure.
The more we thought about it, the more we thought that in most situations in life we recognise the need for a specialist. A specialist by definition is a person who specialises in or devotes themselves to a particular area of activity. We have the very same need for our skin. If you want the most effective use out of something or someone, they need to know what to do and what their focus is. We can’t have one product and expect it to be effective in every area of need on our face and body, its strengths in one area would be completely wasted and unnecessary in another. Overall, we have the same needs, but how they are fulfilled differs from person to person. Once you get over the thought process that one size fits and suits all, you’ll recognise the need for a good skin regime.
Every smart skin care ritual starts with a cleanse. The daily grind of life can start to take its toll on your skin, and by cleansing it washes away the buildup of grime. A good cleanse gets that deep down dirt up and out of those pores, leaving your face feeling fresh and glowing from the inside out.
Knowing what cleanser to use is the next challenge. Again, we all have different skin types and actually at different times of year, our skin will have different needs. So it’s not a bad thing to mix them up every once in a while. So here is our TEMPLESPA guide to cleansers:
BE GONE - Kind-hearted Cleansing Créme
This luscious cleanser has a unique elastic texture, so it doesn’t pull fragile skin, yet gives a super cleanse. It contains vitamins A & E plus our unique blend of Mediterranean botanicals of basil, aubergine, liquorice and apricot, along with the advanced skin science of a powerful prebiotic that’s designed to leave your complexion healthy, settled and comforted. It’s definitely love in action!
DUAL ACT - Purifying Cleansing Lotion
DUAL ACT is a highly intelligent formula that can be used with or without water. Intuitively & cleverly cleanses and takes control of oily, blemish-prone skin without stripping drier areas. Prebiotic willowherb flower, willow bark and seaweed extracts work to efficiently remove make-up and daily grime, purify pores and deeply cleanse, lifting away impurities and excess sebum. Mediterranean ingredients of olive, fig and pomegranate combine with skin-boosting vitamins A, C & E to ensure skin remains comfortable yet spotlessly clean and fresh feeling.
GOOD TO GO - Creamy Foaming Cleanser
If you're blessed with pretty normal skin and love natural goodness, then you'll adore GOOD TO GO foaming face wash. Perfect for no-fuss people on the run who need a quick yet effective wash-off cleanser that leaves the skin soft and nourished without feeling taut. The clever pump miraculously transforms the liquid formula into a luscious creamy foamy texture. The naturally bountiful and highly nutritious formula includes aloe vera, carrot, bergamot, lemon, tangerine, cucumber, honey, watercress & multivitamins. It’s Mediterranean market goodness!
MOST REVEALING - Glowing Skin Oxygen Peel
Looking for instant, yet serious results you can see in the mirror? This state-of-the-art oxygenating bubble peel powerfully transforms your complexion from lacklustre to positively glowing. The highly effective formula is powered by vitamin C and a cocktail of glycolic, malic, lactic, citric and alpha hydroxy acids that are all good for your skin! Sodium hyaluronate hydrates and cushions the skin while it foams and fizzes, lifting away dead skin cells and decongesting debris from the pores. Botanical extracts of apple, kiwi and chamomile soothe, vitamins A & E nourish and Mediterranean oils of sweet orange & bergamot work together to reveal unbelievably smooth, bright and radiant skin. Your skin will be resurfaced, re-energised and refreshed. So, bubble up and let the glow begin!
IN THE BEGINNING Deep Cleansing Melt
IN THE BEGINNING is one of those ‘desert island products’ you can’t live without! A concentrated balm that gives that ‘just had a facial’ feeling every time. Its unique buttery-crystalline texture melts as you massage, delivering rich vitamin E straight to your skin. Formulated with Mediterranean ingredients of olive, calendula, basil, clary and lavender to ensure a nutritious, intense cleanse, leaving skin feeling dewy and glowing with health and vitality. The result… deeply cleansed & brightened skin! So the question to ask yourself is not “to cleanse or not cleanse” but rather “which cleanser is right for me?”
