What's better than a foaming cleanser? Definitely a gentle cream cleanser! For those of us girlies with dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin, or maybe even aging skin, our gentle cream cleanser is for YOU!
Dry skin can be pesky, just like any other skin condition. It can be dry and dehydrated, appearing rough and flaky with fine lines, which can lead to an overproduction of sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture. Or, it can be dry and sensitized, which ultimately leads to a damaged skin barrier that lacks sebum, is red, irritated, rough, and very reactive. You might even notice white heads on the cheeks if this is your skin.
Cream cleansers are much more gentle for dry/aging skin types simply because they help balance the water/oil barrier without allowing any chance for stripping the skin and causing even more dryness!
Gentle Lavender Cream Cleanser - Dry/Aging Skin
As we age, we lose moisture in our skin barrier, we lose elastin and collagen, and vital nutrients that our skin usually produces, we also lose. You can also come by dry skin genetically or because of lack of nutrients by means of a diet, environmental, or more. Our owner, Dani Michelle, actually has the dry skin type, so rest assured that these products are designed to bring life back into your dull skin because they're the exact ones Dani uses!

To make a cream cleanser, we have to add a few more ingredients than normal, but rest assured, each ingredient is still 100% pure and 100% natural. That being said, this particular cleanser contains lavender hydrosol, which helps eliminate unwanted sebum and prevents clogged pores, soothes skin irritates, and is helpful for dry and aging skin. Aloe vera is also included for its' intense hydrating properties. Another hydrating component is vegetable glycerin! We love this product for its' many skin benefits, including: it offers superior hydration, it promotes a healthy skin barrier to help protect it from environmental or other harmful irritants, is non-comodogenic so it won't clog your pores, helps your skin age gracefully, and is as gentle as it comes.
Calendula oil is one of our other favorites included in this cleanser! It has a linoleic acid content of 27%, meaning it's rich in fatty acids, and is very rich in oleic acid! Calendula is known for helping to soothe red, irritated, sensitized skin, helps encourage skin recovery, encourages collagen production, helps the skin age gracefully, hydrates and firms the skin for a more youthful glow, and offers a small amount of sun protection!
We recommend using this cleanser moring and night, to follow along with our skin routine recommendation found in our Skin Type blog! After the first use of this cleanser, you'll notice softer, hydrated skin immediately!
