3 essential techniques for properly cleaning your face

Properly cleansing your face is more than just a daily habit: it’s the first step in any effective skincare routine and the secret to healthy, radiant skin that can withstand external aggressors. Yet, many people still underestimate the importance of a properly executed cleanse. At Lauvée, we know that a good cleanse isn’t just about applying a bit of foam to your face: it’s a ritual of precision, combining expert techniques with the right products. Discover three essential methods to optimize your facial cleansing, while caring for your skin gently and effectively.

Double Cleansing: A Complete Ritual for Flawless Skin

Double cleansing, a cornerstone of Korean skincare routines, is now recognized by dermatologists and beauty experts as one of the most effective ways to remove all impurities from the skin. It’s based on a simple yet highly effective principle: using two complementary cleansers to eliminate both oily residues and water-soluble impurities.

The first step is to apply a cleansing oil or balm to dry skin. This phase effectively dissolves makeup, excess sebum, pollution particles, and sunscreen. Contrary to popular belief, cleansing oils are suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin, as they respect the skin’s hydrolipidic film without leaving a greasy residue.

The second step comes after rinsing the oil: apply a gentle water-based cleanser—whether in foam, gel, or cream form—to remove sweat, dust, and other water-soluble residues. This combination of textures ensures a thorough cleanse while preserving the skin’s natural balance.

Integrating a Lauvée facial cleansing brush at this stage significantly enhances the results. With its micro-vibrations and ultra-soft bristles, it helps unclog pores, gently exfoliate, and stimulate microcirculation, leaving skin fresh, smooth, and radiant. This simple step transforms cleansing into a professional-level treatment, right at home.

Exfoliation: The Weekly Step That Changes Everything

While daily cleansing removes surface impurities, it isn’t enough to fully renew the epidermis. Natural exfoliation can sometimes slow down, leaving dead cells on the surface that dull the complexion and clog pores. This is where exfoliation comes in—a step often overlooked but essential for maintaining clear and luminous skin.

There are two main approaches to exfoliating: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical exfoliation involves a scrub with micro-grains or a facial cleansing brush with an exfoliating attachment. This action removes surface dead skin cells, refines the skin texture, and prepares the epidermis to better absorb treatments.

Chemical exfoliation, on the other hand, uses active ingredients such as fruit acids (AHAs) or glycolic acid, which gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells without the need for rubbing. This method is particularly suitable for sensitive skin prone to redness or inflammatory acne.

Performed once or twice a week, depending on skin type and sensitivity, exfoliation reveals smoother skin, evens out the complexion, and enhances the effectiveness of moisturizing or anti-aging treatments. Once again, Lauvée cleansing brushes are the perfect ally: they provide gentle, uniform exfoliation without irritation, making your routine both effective and skin-friendly.

 

 

Daily Cleansing: Gentle Yet Essential Care

Beyond weekly treatments, the quality of your skin is built through everyday habits. A gentle, properly adapted facial cleanse every morning and evening forms the foundation of balanced skin—less prone to imperfections and better equipped to withstand oxidative stress.

Choosing the right cleanser is crucial: oily skin benefits from a purifying gel that helps regulate sebum without stripping, while dry or reactive skin will prefer an airy foam or ultra-gentle cleansing cream. It’s also essential to use lukewarm water, not hot, to avoid disrupting the skin barrier or causing dehydration.

For the most sensitive skin types, or for a quick morning cleanse, micellar water is an excellent alternative: it captures impurities through its micelles while minimizing rubbing or excessive rinsing. This simple, quick step can make all the difference—especially when followed by a moisturizing treatment.

Lauvée facial cleansing brushes, used with a gentle cleanser, take your routine to the next level without irritating the skin. Their ergonomic design, hypoallergenic materials, and soft vibration technology make them precision tools, transforming cleansing into an enjoyable, effective, and perfectly controlled ritual.
