Cleansing is a vital step in your skincare routine. It helps to remove dirt, oils, and dead skin cells, refreshing and renewing your skin. Thoroughly cleansed skin will absorb your skincare products better, allowing vitamins, minerals and active ingredients to get into your skin layers and work more efficiently.
When you are faced with multiple cleansing options, how do you decide? Let’s find out the difference between our ishga cleansers, and the benefits of each.
Exfoliating Face Wash
Our Exfoliating Face Wash delivers mild exfoliation to help remove dead skin cells, dirt and other impurities. An exfoliating cleanser is ideal if you have a dull or uneven skin tone as it helps to make skin softer and smoother.
ishga Exfoliating Face Wash contains fine seaweed grains that will gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells to reveal a healthy, radiant appearance. It is packed full of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, to heal and restore tired, dull skin. It’s blended with patchouli, sandalwood and bergamot to nourish and cleanse daily.
Suitable for: All skin types, especially those with oily or acne-prone skin
Marine Cleansing Balm
Cleansing balms do a wonderful job of effectively removing make up, natural oils, dirt and grime. This is due to the mixture of oils and emollients in the ingredients. The solid texture will melt onto the skin once warmed up in the hands and applied to the face. Due to the oils used, cleansing balms are especially good for those with dry skin, but the hydrating and nourishing nature of a balm means it can be used by all skin types.
ishga Marine Cleansing Balm is a naturally powerful cleanser made using our unique Hebridean seaweed extract. It also contains shea butter and carnauba wax, both of which are non-comedogenic meaning they won't block pores whilst providing moisture boosting properties to the skin. It also contains almond oil which is an excellent emollient for hydration.
Suitable for: All skin types, especially those with dry skin.
Active Cleansing Lotion
ishga Active Cleansing Lotion provides effective results whilst remaining gentle on the skin. Using Hebridean spring water in combination with seaweed extract, the cleansing lotion also contains aloe vera which hydrates, soothes and calms the skin. It’s Ideal for reducing redness and inflammation whilst promoting a refreshed and even skin tone.
Suitable for: All skin types, especially those with sensitive skin.
Double cleanse for glowing skin
Morning AM: Start with a Exfoliating Face Wash followed by Active Cleansing Lotion (or you may want to double cleanse both times using the Active Cleansing Lotion). Follow up with a spritz of Hebridean Marine Toner to follow will rebalance the pH of your skin, and you are then ready to finish with a moisturiser.
Evening PM: Apply Marine Cleansing Balm, which will get deep into pores and lift out dirt, make-up, and excess oils. Follow up by applying ishga Active Cleansing Lotion. Same as the morning follow up with spritz of toner and finish with a serum (optional) and moisturiser and/or face oil.
All ishga cleansers will work effectively to naturally clean and nourish the skin, whether you prefer a face wash, balm or lotion is personal preference and dependent on how your skin reacts to them. Whatever your skin needs for cleansing, ishga has it.
