Repairing Cleanser

Repairing cleansers are gentle face or body cleansers designed to remove everyday residue without leaving dry or sensitive skin feeling excessively tight. They may come as cream cleansers, cleansing milks, oils, balms, low-foaming gels or soap-substitute washes with moisturising ingredients. Choose the texture according to skin type and rinse with lukewarm rather than very hot water. Pat the skin dry and follow with a moisturiser or repair balm when needed. Traditional soaps and heavily foaming shower products may worsen dryness for some people, while a cleanser that repeatedly causes stinging or redness should be discontinued.
