Summer is the season when we fully enjoy the sun, warm evenings, and a refreshing dip. But did you know that your skin also has to endure extra stress during this time? Heat, sweat, and sunscreen can cause your pores to clog more quickly. That’s exactly why it’s essential to cleanse your skin thoroughly in the summer. This keeps your skin fresh, balanced, and radiantly healthy.
Why Your Skin Needs Extra Cleansing in the Summer
On hot days, your skin produces more sebum and also sweats. Add sunscreen, makeup, and airborne dust particles to the mix, and you have the perfect recipe for clogged pores, breakouts, and a dull complexion. That’s why proper cleansing is important—it prevents the buildup of impurities and ensures that skincare products are absorbed more effectively.
The Benefits of Double Cleaning in the Summer
With so many (sun) products, cleansing just once is often not enough. Double cleansing helps to thoroughly cleanse your skin. Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen. For this, you can use Ginkel’s Natural Cleansing Oil Rose Essence. Next, use a second, water-based cleanser, such as Ginkel’s Cleansing Milk or Micellar Water. This removes any remaining impurities.
Which cleaner should you choose? The differences between Ginkel’s cleaners
Ginkel’s offers a variety of cleansers for every skin type. We’ve listed them for you below:
- Ginkel’s Eye Makeup Remover
This gentle two-phase formula is specially formulated to effectively remove makeup. The oil phase effortlessly removes even waterproof makeup, while the water phase leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean and cleanses deep into the pores. The formula is fragrance-free and therefore also suitable for the sensitive skin around the eyes.
Directions: Shake the bottle well before use. Apply a few drops to a cotton pad and gently remove the makeup. - Ginkel’s Micellar Water
