The Best Cleanser for Dry Skin

Did you know that how you cleanse your face can have a huge impact on how your skin looks & feels? Use harsh cleansers & you will end up with tight, flakey & dry skin that has been stripped of it's natural oils. Don't cleanse thoroughly enough & you are asking for clogged pores, dull complexion & breakouts. An appropriate cleansing routine creates the base for your skin to receive nourishment from your skincare, so it is just as important (if not more) to have this step sorted so you don't waste your precious skincare on ill-prepared skin. 

Our Windella Farm soaps are perfect for cleansing both face & body as they are formulated to be very mild & gentle on the skin. However, dry, mature or dehydrated skin will benefit enormously from Oil Cleansing. The theory behind Oil Cleansing is that 'like attracts like', so the oils in your face oil will naturally pull away the makeup, grime, pollution & sweat without stripping your skin's natural sebum. This creates a beautiful clean, fresh complexion that is soft & smooth. 

The best news is that your Windella Farm face oil doubles as an Oil Cleanser! Here's how to do it:

  • Fill the dropper and disperse over your face. 

  • Use your fingers to work the oil all over your face as if it were a cream cleanser. 

  • Wipe off with a damp washcloth. 

  • Rinse the washcloth with tepid water and wipe over the face again, followed by a splash of cold water.

  • Once or twice a week you should follow your oil cleanse with a gentle soap cleanse (more often if you wear makeup or sunscreen frequently).

  • Once your skin is clean & fresh, it's time to follow up with your night-time Beauty Sleep Serum and then just a couple of drops of face oil to lock it all in.
