Is cleansing milk good for face?

Cleansing milk is a wonderful skin care product, that removes the day’s dirt and grime it has accumulated as well as makeup too.

The difference between cleansing milk and other face cleansers is that cleansing milk do not contain harsh chemicals or soaps, that can easily irritate certain skin types such as sensitive and dry skin types.

They do not require water to emulsify them and are usually made from natural, soothing ingredients.

If you suffer from acne or oily skin then you may find that a cleansing milk just isn’t tough enough to do the whole job and fight your acne.

Cleansing milk are often a popular choice, especially for those with dry and sensitive skin, as it has many soothing, replenishing and moisturising properties.

There is something luxurious associated with a cleansing milk. Whether it’s the naturally occurring scent that relaxes you, or the feeling as though you are truly caring for your skin as if you’re wrapping it into a warm, soft blanket, that your skin will be cared for within. It’s a wonderful product to have in your skincare regime.

So what is a cleansing milk?

A cleansing milk is naturally light and gentle, and won’t strip your skin of its natural oils, resulting in your skin feeling protected and hydrated.

Whether you’re using it in the morning or the evening, it is gentle enough to use at both times of the day, yet works hard to remove all makeup too.

How does a cleansing milk work?

Even though a cleansing milk is gentle, it is still tough on removing the dirt from the day.  It works by, cleaning deep into your pores, removing grime. It does especially well when used to double cleanse.

Firstly, you use it to remove makeup and the top layer of dirt, then you cleanse again to allow the cleanser to get deeper into the pores, to help prevent any spots from occurring and to soothe the skin.

By cleansing your skin morning and night with a cleansing milk, you are not only removing any impurities and makeup that build up throughout the day and overnight, but you are also enhancing your skin with hydration, helping to keep it soft and supple.

Think of cleansing milk as a stripped back, soothing, relaxing but hard working lotion that packs a punch.

When and how to use a cleansing milk?

As mentioned previously, you can use your cleansing milk both in the morning and in the evening.

You’ll use the cleansing milk as your first step in your skincare regime. Gently massage your cleansing milk lotion into your face and neck, covering all areas.

When you’re done, wipe away either with a cotton pad, splash with water or use a wet flannel to gently wipe the cleanser away.

Is cleansing milk good for face?

Cleansing milks are one of the treasures in a skin care routine and we recommend them for all skin types as they have so many benefits. At Nakin we produce high performance natural skincare and have a beautiful cleansing milk as part of our routine. Read on to find out why cleansing milks are so beneficial for skin.

  • For dry skin they are hydrating plus calming, and for oily skin they are a way to cleanse the face without stripping and causing more oil production. A cleansing milk has a part oil formula and lotion consistency, which means that is it the perfect product to add a massive amount of ingredients into the formulation. A good cleansing milk like our Nakin Advanced Cleansing Milk has so much to offer skin as it is filled with beautiful cleansers and skin conditioners including seaweed, grapeseed, pomegranate and hyaluronic acid. This means that cleansing milks can help to keep skin young and youthful when they are an anti-ageing cleaning milk like ours. What’s more is that the oil in the formula is attracted to the oil on our face and neck, and so it is able to beautifully clean all skin types.
  • If you have been using a good foaming cleanser on your face and find that your skin is left dry and sensitive, then switching to a cleansing milk can be a game changer. Not only is the part oil formula great for removing everything from SPF to sweat, a good one like our Natural Cleansing Milk is also kind to even sensitive skin.
  • Cleansing milks make great facial cleansers and can work away dirt, sweat, grime, sun products and make-up. If you wear heavy makeup or waterproof mascara, then you might find a double cleanse is needed. To apply a cleansing milk gently massage into the face and neck so that as well as being super stimulating for skin this action also dislodges dirt and grime, which are then easily wiped away when removed with a damp cloth or cotton pad. Cleansing milks can also be used as exfoliators by simply removing them with a damp lukewarm muslin cloth, and moving over the face and neck in small circular motions. It is one of the most natural and delicate ways to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells from the facial area.
  • All in all, cleansing milks have so many benefits and this is one of the reasons that we love them. As well as providing skin with a thorough but gentle cleanse, they also leave skin looking and feeling fresh and healthy. Most people that use a cleansing milk find they reveal a much more radiant and hydrated complexion than other cleansers such as a face wash. These changes might be subtle but should gradually increase as the complexion welcomes the benefits of the cleansing milk over time.

We hope that you found our feature useful about the benefits of cleansing milks. If you have not used one, then we recommend trying one as they can be so lovely for skin in the many ways discussed above. They are loved by aestheticians and dermatologists and used to be the main type of facial cleanser years ago, with the three-step routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising. Nakin have a full range of cleansers, treatments and creams and our natural face products can be found online.
