Gel Nettoyant vs. Lait Nettoyant: How to Know Which Popular Cleanser is Right for You

Everyone has their bedtime routine. You change into your pajamas, set your alarm, and maybe settle into bed to read a few chapters from your favorite book. Before you tuck in for the night, however, it’s important to put your skin through its nightly routine as well. Washing your face is just as important as brushing your teeth when it comes to daily hygiene.

Proper skincare starts with a good cleanser but, with so many options out there, it can be difficult to choose. The perfect cleanser depends on your skin type as well as your individual skin concerns. Read on to learn why it’s important to choose the right cleanser and to receive some expert recommendations from Yon-Ka Paris.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Cleanser

After a night out, you probably can’t wait to get the makeup off your face. Cleansing your face isn’t just for the purpose of removing makeup, however. It’s an essential step in removing dirt, bacteria, excess oil, and even environmental pollutants from your skin before you go to bed. Proper cleansing is the key to keeping your skin looking and feeling its best.

Here are some of the benefits of washing your face:

• It’s the most effective way to remove sweat, dirt, oil, and debris from the surface of your skin so it doesn’t clog your pores.
• Cleansing prepares your skin for skincare products, allowing them to fully penetrate the outer layer of skin to deliver the desired benefits.
• It helps maintain proper levels of hydration in the skin and supports balanced pH in the skin.
• Clean skin stays clearer with less noticeable pores and prevents the overproduction of oil which can trigger inflammation and acne.
• It keeps your skin looking fresh and healthy – without proper cleansing the visible signs of aging may become more apparent.

Washing your face is the first step in any daily skincare routine and you should do it twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. Just as important as actually taking this step, however, is using the right cleanser to do it.

No matter what kind of product you’re shopping for, it’s important to consider your skin type. Whether you have normal, dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, choosing a cleanser appropriate for your skin type helps keep your skin balanced without further exacerbating existing issues. The wrong cleanser could strip away natural oils, dehydrating already-dry skin.

Fortunately, Yon-Ka Paris offers a variety of cleansers for different skin types.

The Benefits of Yon-Ka Paris Cleansers

When it comes to choosing skincare products, you need to think about your skin type as well as the ingredients in the product itself. Gentle, natural ingredients are best because they remove dirt and surface oils without compromising your skin’s texture or hydration. Harsh chemicals as well as soap and alcohol can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and sensitized.

Here’s what to look for in cleansers for different skin types:

• Normal Skin – Choose an all-purpose cleanser that removes makeup and surface oil without stripping away too much
• Dry Skin – Look for a gentle, non-foaming cream or milk cleanser free from alcohol, dyes, and chemicals.
• Oily Skin – Choose a gel or foaming cleanser that will remove excess oil from the surface of the skin without stripping it.
• Combination Skin – Both sensitive and combination skin can benefit from a gentle and soap-free cleanser.

Yon-Ka Paris offers a variety of luxurious skincare products formulated with natural botanicals to deliver a therapeutic experience. Choose from several textures according to the changing needs of your skin. Yon-Ka Paris cleansers are made with rich, plant-based ingredients and designed to deliver a deep, purifying cleanse without harsh or drying additives.

Two Popular Yon-Ka Paris Cleansers

A good cleanser removes makeup, bacteria, and impurities from the skin without compromising hydration. Two of Yon-Ka Paris’ most popular cleansers are formulated with soothing natural ingredients to cleanse without stripping. Both the cleansing milk (Lait Nettoyant) and the cleansing gel (Gel Nettoyant) are pH-friendly for skin, free from sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and safe for all skin types.

1. Lait Nettoyant

This non-foaming cleanser has a gentle, milky texture that leaves the skin feeling soft and conditioned. With a delicate aroma, this 2-in-1 milk cleanser removes eye and face makeup while balancing the skin’s natural oils. It maintains the skin’s natural pH as well, making it a great choice for dry and dehydrated skin as well as mature skin types.

Lait Nettoyant features borneol which clarifies and purifies the skin as well as essential fatty acids from coconut and palm to emulsify impurities, gently removing them without stripping the skin.

2. Gel Nettoyant

Gently remove eye and face makeup with this foaming 2-in-1 gel cleanser. Enriched with botanical ingredients, this formula softens, hydrates, and purifies the skin, leaving behind a light citrus aroma. This cleanser leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean without the dryness of soap, making it ideal for normal, combination, and oily skin types.

Gel Nettoyant features iris root extract for its natural antiseptic benefits and Litsea Cubeba (May Chang) essential oil which helps balance oil production. Betaine acts as a gentle surfactant to create a cleansing foam.

Tips for Proper Cleansing

Choosing the right cleanser for your skin type is essential, but it’s also important to know the proper technique for cleansing. The most important thing to remember is that you should cleanse twice a day – morning and night. In the morning, cleansing prepares your skin for your daily skincare products. At night, it refreshes your skin after a long day and sets the stage for a night of repair and restoration.

Here are some simple tips for proper daily cleansing:

• Wash your hands before cleansing to avoid transferring bacteria to your skin.
• Use lukewarm water rather than hot water – it will open your pores without drying out skin.
• Be gentle – rub the cleanser in with your fingertips instead of scrubbing.
• Pat your skin dry after cleansing instead of rubbing it with a towel – don’t forget to apply toner after cleansing.
• Apply moisturizer as soon as you can after cleansing to help lock in the moisture.

Taking care of your skin is the key to looking and feeling your best for years to come. If you’re not sure what products are appropriate for your skin type, consult the Skin Advisor or use the Spa Finder to find a Yon-Ka Paris spa near you for professional skin consultation.
