Laponie’s approach to skincare is based on three cornerstones: cleanse, treat, i.e. hydrate and care, i.e., nourish and protect. On top of these, your skin may need some targeted care to treat specific issues.
To put it simply, you need the right cleanser followed by a product or products containing both hydrating ingredients as well as oils in some form. For specific issues, say dryness or impurities, you can add a mask or a serum. Always remember sunscreen during daytime.
Our tip: When you start building your routine take a look at your skin. What does it need, what does it look or feel like and what possible issue might you need to address? Also think about whether you’re after a simpler or more comprehensive routine. Skincare should also suit your life style.
IT ALL STARTS WITH A PROPER CLEANSE
A good cleanser will take off makeup, dirt, excess sebum and impurities gently but thoroughly, without drying skin out. This means a good cleanser will get skin clean without stripping it of natural oils and disturbing the skin’s protective barrier. The goal of cleansing is clean skin, without a dry or tight feel.
- Choose our mild but efficient, oil-based Mild Milk Cleanser if your skin is prone to dryness, it's red, irritated or sensitised. It's our go-to choice for even the most sensitive skin and great for drier skin with POD or rosacea.
- Choose our gently deep cleansing, non-foaming and oil-free Gentle Gel Cleanser if you have combination or oily skin, or skin prone to congestion, acne and impurities. It's also gfreat for oilier skin with POD or rosacea.
- Choose our Nourishing Oil Cleanser for very dry skin or congested skin. The Oil Cleanser emulsifies with water and washes off cleasn, without any oily residue. It's also great as a first cleanser for either the Milk or Gel, and will take off heavier make-up in one go.
You can also alternate with different cleansers if your skin sometimes need a deeper cleanse (e.g., in the evening) or if your skin’s needs vary from day to day.
