Why this facial cleansing mousse should DEFINITELY be in your skincare routine

A light, airy, yet creamy mousse… that definitely sounds like something good enough to eat, but it’s actually one of the newer forms of facial cleansers that can help your face get thoroughly clean without the harshness of abrasive products.

What is healthy skin?
Our skin’s overall good health means that it has a population of a variety of microorganisms, which is called the skin microbiome. Okay, that may sound a little creepy, but it is completely normal! These microorganisms work to fight infection so that our bodies are protected from harmful germs from the outside world. When we use harsh cleansers too often, it upsets the balance of that microbiome and dries out our skin.

Healthy skin means it should also be moisturized. Moisturizing helps by keeping the skin barrier from breaking. When skin is dry and over-sanitized, it can be more susceptible to skin problems and infection, lowering our overall health.

Cleanse thoroughly but gently
In our skin care regimen, cleansing is the most basic step. This is always where your skin care routine starts. In humid climates most of all, we make it a point to remove dirt, excess oil, pollutants, make up, germs, and even dead skin cells that can cause pore blockages and acne. Clean skin should be the starting point so that other products and treatments work properly.

Have you been using a bar, a foaming face wash, or a scrub? All these different cleansers will clear away dirt and grime, but they may also strip away your natural oils and disrupt your skin microbiome if they are too strong. Certain ingredients contained in some products that make a cleanser sudsy and foamy can be very harsh on skin. Scrubs may be too aggressive for sensitive skin. But we think we’ve found the one that can give you clean skin without the stripped feeling.

Mousse is a must
Facial cleansing mousse achieves that balance of being cleansing, yet still gentle and moisturizing. You don’t feel that “squeak” because it doesn’t rub away the oils that are essential to your skin’s health. It doesn’t have the harsh ingredients to make it foamy, yet it is light, creamy, and soft on your skin while still  removing dirt and make up after your hectic day. No irritation on even the most sensitive skin.

Dove Facial Cleansing Mousse promotes the balance of your skin microbiome while improving its defensive barrier. Infused with beauty serum, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, your skin is treated to moisture and hydration as it is gently cleansed.

Just take a pump or two of cleansing mousse and massage it onto damp skin for around 15 seconds. Feel the rich and creamy lather softly shed away your misgivings about trying something new when your skin needs delicate but thorough cleansing. Then rinse away all doubt of how Dove Facial Cleansing Mousse can do wonders for your skin.
