Our number one tip for beautiful, healthy skin? Cleanse your face!

No face cream, lotion or serum can fully work if the face cleansing step is not adapted or neglected. Yes, it is necessary to cleanse your skin properly to discover healthy and radiant skin day after day. However, properly cleansing the skin on your face does not mean stripping it of its moisture: by using facial make-up remover and facial scrub that are too abrasive on a daily basis, you run the risk of sensitising and/or dehydrating your skin by altering the cutaneous barrier. To clean your face properly, a few simple and quick gestures are actually quite sufficient. Finally, it is essential to use products that are adapted to your skin type. At Oh My Cream, our mission is to select the best face care products for you so that you can take care of your skin and obtain visible results.

Which facial cleanser do we prefer at Oh My Cream?

The first step to optimal facial cleansing is to remove make-up. It is very important to use a face make-up remover every night, even if you don't wear make-up. Indeed, during the day all sorts of impurities are deposited on your face and these are not necessarily all visible to the naked eye: pollution, perspiration, excess sebum, sunscreen residues, etc. Therefore, all skin types need to be thoroughly cleansed. At Oh My Cream, we prefer to use oils and make-up remover balms, which have an oily base that allows them to remove all impurities, without ever attacking the skin.

What's our favourite way to cleanse the face?

If you've never heard of the double cleansing method, it's time to change that :-) It's a way of cleansing your face in two stages: first using an oil or make-up remover, then following up with a facial cleanser to complete the cleansing. At Oh My Cream we swear by this method! The reason? It's the gentlest and most thorough method, whatever your skin type. Not sure which facial cleanser to choose?

How to use a facial scrub?

For a complete and effective facial cleansing routine, it is important to exfoliate your face with a facial scrub once or twice a week, depending on your skin type and sensitivity. At Oh My Cream, we prefer non-grainy face scrubs, which are less abrasive than grainy face scrubs, and we offer a selection of enzymatic and chemical face scrubs. These scrubs nibble away at the small dead skin cells on the surface of your skin and at the same time boost cell renewal. You'll find your skin soft, clear and more uniform!
