A gentle water-based cleanser can keep the everyday cleansing step simple. Unlike an oil cleanser or cleansing balm used primarily as a first cleanse, this type of cleanser is used with water to remove everyday residue from the skin.
Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser is a water-based gel cleanser with a slightly acidic formula. It contains plum water and mung bean seed extract and is designed as an everyday facial cleanser rather than as a dedicated makeup remover.
A Simple Water-Based Cleanse
Use the cleanser with water according to the product directions. A small amount can be worked between wet hands before being gently massaged over the face. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water when cleansing is complete.
Where It Fits in the Routine
The cleanser can work as the main cleansing step in a straightforward routine. When an oil cleanser or cleansing balm is used first, it can also serve as the water-based second step. Whether both steps are useful depends on the routine, what has been worn on the skin and personal preference.
Cleansing Without Overcomplicating It
More cleansing steps do not automatically make a routine better. On days when there is little to remove, one suitable water-based cleanser may be enough. Makeup or more persistent sunscreen may make a separate first cleanse useful before moving on to this step.
Pay Attention to How Cleansing Feels
A cleanser should fit comfortably into the rest of the routine. There is no need to scrub aggressively or extend cleansing for a fixed amount of time. Follow the product directions, rinse thoroughly and adjust the routine if the cleansing process feels unnecessarily harsh or complicated.
