Guide: Create a good facial cleansing routine
To take good care of your skin, you need to cleanse every evening with a good facial cleanser. But how do you remember to cleanse your skin amid the busyness of everyday life?
Here we help you create a facial cleansing routine that will build up your skin and bring a fresh glow back to your face.
Choose the right cleansing products for your skin type
There are many different cleansing products on the market. To avoid adding to the confusion, we have a simple selection of products whose names reveal their purpose: Our cleansing gel is called Cleansing gel and our cleansing scrub is called Cleansing scrub.
To choose the right products for your skin, consider your skin type, its needs and what you want to get out of cleansing:
Find your skin type
Everyone’s skin is different, and your skin type helps determine which cleansing product is best for you. If you have sensitive skin or young skin, it is important not to cleanse too often or use products that are too harsh - while oily or combination skin is often more resilient.
Your skin’s specific needs
At times, your skin may need a little extra attention and care. Skin is constantly changing and can be affected by both the weather and hormonal fluctuations. Care for your skin according to its specific needs and help restore its balance with the right products. For example, skin with open pores or delicate skin is best off avoiding cleansing scrub.
The goal of your cleansing routine
We all have our own preferences for how our skin looks its best and healthiest. When choosing a cleansing product, look at the ingredients list. Do you want to add more moisture or achieve fresher-looking skin? It all starts with the right active and nourishing ingredients that target your particular needs.
If you need something for your cleansing routine, take a look at our skincare selection.
The experts’ recommendation for your cleansing routine
1. Mild cleansing products
Start by cleansing dirt, oil and makeup from your face, preparing your skin to receive moisture and nourishment. Use a mild cleansing product, such as our Cleansing mousse, which opens and cleanses your pores so that the products you apply afterwards can penetrate freely. If you have sensitive skin, our cooling fragrance-free Cleansing milk or our gentle Skin Balance cleansing mousse may be perfect for gentle cleansing.

2. Deep cleansing
On some days, you can treat your skin to an extra deep cleanse. You can use a facial scrub to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. This promotes cell renewal and gives your skin a fresh glow. If you have oily skin or struggle with blemishes, a mild cleansing powder may be a good choice for you.

3. Active serum
To cleanse your skin deeply while being gentle on its surface, you can use a serum with active ingredients. A serum contains vitamins and antioxidants that work deep within the skin and clear dead skin cells and impurities from the pores. Take a look at our Acne Serum, for example, which clears pores and both prevents and treats blemishes. Also see our Daily Peel, a leave-on peel that cleanses and smooths the skin when applied before serum.

4. Caring mask
A couple of times a week, you can treat your skin to a cleansing mask for a thorough cleanse followed by an intense moisture boost. Our Clay mask contains active ingredients that deeply cleanse the skin and absorb excess oil. You can also try our active peeling mask with AHA and BHA acids, which renews the skin by dissolving dead skin cells.

Remember care and moisture after your cleansing routine
It is important to apply moisturizing products to your skin after cleansing to protect it and restore its moisture balance. After cleansing, your skin is ready to absorb nutrients, vitamins and moisture from your face cream and facial oil.
Face cream gives your skin a moisture boost and cares for and protects it throughout the day and night. Our Day cream contains natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and red algae extract, which provide intensive moisture and boost the skin’s collagen production.
Our Night cream moisturizes, firms and boosts the skin, helping it rebuild overnight and get ready for the next day. Also try our Eye cream, which provides targeted care and strength to the eye area, so every part of your face is nourished.
