You work hard, play hard and lead an active lifestyle. That means breaking a sweat to keep fit, strong and healthy. Perspiration is one of the main ways the body eliminates metabolic waste, and that’s one reason why proper cleansing is so important.
Cleansers have evolved from a basic soap-based product to formulations with specific skin-care benefits that work synergistically with serums and creams to deliver your very best skin condition. So, choose wisely – and be consistent.
When To Cleanse?
In the morning and after exercise, cleansing rinses away waste products produced by the skin overnight and during your workout, clears pores and prepares skin for serums and moisturisers. In the evening, it’s just as critical to remove makeup and the airborne chemical pollutants that damage your skin’s natural protective barrier and disrupt cellular function. This can lead to irritation, sensitivity, breakouts and accelerated ageing of the skin.
Try The African Extracts Rooibos Range
African Extracts Rooibos are experts at cleansing, with a range of skin-specific cleansers powered by antioxidant Bio-Active Rooibos. If your skin is oily or prone to breakouts, try the Purifying range with spot-busting Salicylic Acid. For normal to combination skin, the best-selling Classic Gel Face Wash has been joined by the Hydrating Wash with plant-based Squalane and Gentle Face Wash with soothing Aloe, matched with a Micellar Water, all great value at under R100 each.
For dry skin and fans of double-cleansing, there’s the new Advantage cleanser duo. An oil-based Micellar Cleanser with pampering Crambe seed oil to easily remove makeup and a creamy Hydrating Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid, ceramides and the aptly named Resurrection plant. Use one or the other, or the Micellar oil followed by the creamy lotion, for perfectly clean skin.
