Alternative to Gel Cleanser

We know that gel cleansers are hugely popular and we have an excellent one, which is our Nakin Rejuvenating Face Wash. It's an excellent gel cleanser and loved by many of our customers, but gel cleansers are not right for everyone, and if so at Nakin we also have an amazing natural anti-ageing cleansing milk that can do everything a gel cleanser can, and more.

There are so many cleansers out there with different textures and formulations that it can be hard working out which is the best one to use. Each gel cleanser will differ depending on the ingredients used and complete formula. They generally though are quite strong cleansers and often even have an antibacterial element to them. Lots of people love the bouncy consistency and ease of use, however, they can be too harsh for some skin types. Especially sensitive, dry and mature skin. Whatever your skin type a great alternative to a gel cleanser is our Nakin Advanced Cleansing Milk, which can also be used as a duo with our Nakin Purifying Face Toner.

Gel cleansers are water based which means that they are great at removing things like sweat and dust. The wonderful thing about a cleansing milk though is that as well as being a water-based lotion, they are also oil based and so are great at removing everything, from makeup to sunscreen. Our face wash can also do this, but if you prefer an oil-based cleanser then the cleansing milk is a better option.

A good cleansing milk like ours will also never leave your skin feeling overly stripped or dried out after use. The gentle kind formulation is great for all skin types, even overly sensitive skin. It is a milky lotion consistency, so still lovely and soft to use on the face and neck.

The key ingredients include glycerin, grape seed oil, olive, hyaluronic acid, pomegranate and sunflower, which means that it really packs a punch when it comes to cleansing and nourishing the face and neck. Because it is so filled with vitamins, minerals and omegas it is also able to build and maintain a happy healthy skin barrier. This is so important for skin that looks great and is truly healthy at the same time. At Nakin we use such high-quality natural ingredients that it means skin is treated to an excellent clean while in the best environmental conditions, for a clear silky soft hydrated complexion.

Why Cleansing Milks Are a Great Alternative to Gel Cleansers

Cleansing milks can be a superior alternative to gel face cleansers for several reasons, particularly when considering the needs of individuals with sensitive or dry skin. Unlike gel cleansers, which can often strip the skin of its natural oils, (not always the case though with a gentle formula like ours) cleansing milks are formulated to more gently cleanse while maintaining the skin’s moisture balance. This is primarily due to its creamy texture, which is enriched with oils emollients that soothe and hydrate the skin during the cleansing process. Furthermore, cleansing milk tends to be less abrasive, making it ideal for those with a more delicate skin barrier. Its gentle nature not only helps to prevent irritation but also leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished. Thus, it serves as an excellent option for individuals seeking a more soothing and hydrating cleansing experience.

Cleansing milks also offers additional benefits beyond their moisturising properties. Many cleansing milks like ours contain natural extracts and active ingredients that contribute to the overall health of the skin. For example, ours contains seaweed and hyaluronic acid, known for their plumping, soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, while others may include chamomile, which can help calm redness and irritation. These added ingredients not only enhance the cleansing experience but also provide nourishment and protection to the skin.

In addition to being gentle on the skin, cleansings milk are also easy to use. Simply apply it onto dry or damp skin and massage in circular motions before rinsing off with water. Its creamy texture helps to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities without the need for harsh scrubbing, making it more suitable than a gen cleanser even for those with sensitive skin. You should always carry out a patch test to be sure though.

Moreover, cleansing milks can be used as a multi-tasking product. In addition to its primary function of cleansing the skin, some varieties like ours also offer benefits such as makeup removal and anti-ageing. This makes them a convenient option for those looking to streamline their skincare routine.

When selecting a cleansing milk, it is essential to consider your skin type and any specific concerns you may have. Our Advanced Cleansing Milk is for all skin types, but some cleansing milks are formulated specifically for dry or sensitive skin, while others may target issues such as acne-prone or ageing skin. It is also important to choose one that is free of harsh chemicals like parabens, synthetic fragrances, and other irritants.

Whether you are new to cleansing milk or a long-time fan, it is worth giving this gentle yet effective product a try. With its moisturising properties, added benefits, ease of use, and versatility, cleansing milks are a must-have addition to any skincare routine, and especially if you prefer not to use a gel cleanser. So why not incorporate it into your daily ritual and experience all the goodness that this creamy cleanser has to offer for your skin?
