If you have dry or sensitive skin, the wrong cleanser can leave your face red, irritated, and parched. Cleansing milk offers a gentle solution, effectively removing dirt, makeup, and impurities while hydrating and softening the skin. Often rich in natural oils and emollients, these formulas cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural moisture. 

Due to their non-stripping nature, cleansing milks are especially beneficial for dry or reactive skin. Follow this blog to find the best cleansing milk at Watsons!

Why cleansing milk is suitable for dry skin?

Cleansing milk is ideal for dry skin because it gently cleanses without stripping natural oils, preventing dryness and maintaining hydration. Their creamy, hydrating formulas remove impurities while soothing and softening. They often contain rich, natural oils and lack harsh ingredients, helping to preserve the skin’s protective barrier and pH balance. The result is clean, comfortable skin that feels supple and refreshed, not tight or irritated.

Tips to use cleansing milks

Here are 5 key tips for using cleansing milks:

1. Apply Gently: Use fingers or a damp cotton pad to apply to dampened skin in light, circular motions.
2. Remove Excess: Wipe off residue with a pad or cloth. Rinsing isn’t always necessary, allowing ingredients to absorb.
3. Double Cleanse (Optional): Use after makeup removal for a deeper cleanse, especially at night.
4. Follow Up: Balance skin with toner, then hydrate with a suitable moisturizer.
5. Warm It Up: Warm the product in your hands before application for better absorption.
