The Benefits of Cleansing Milk

Cleansing milks are one of the treasures in a skin care routine and we recommend them for all skin types as they have so many benefits. We are often surprised how many of our customers have not used a cleansing milk. We know they can seem dated and part of skincare routines in years gone by, but this is not the case, as they are so lovely for our skin. A good cleansing milk like our Advanced Cleansing Milk is able to cleanse the face and neck, while being super kind to skin at the same time. This comes from the oil-based formula. Our skin absolutely loves good quality plant oils, which can be cleansing and filled with nourishment. We also include other skin boosting actives and extracts in the formula, to really provide an exceptional rejuvenating product. Of course if you prefer a foaming cleanser then we have our Rejuvenating Face Wash which is equally lovely in different ways. Cleansing milks have so many benefits for our face and neck and we look into this further below.

The Benefits of a Cleansing Milk

Cleansing milk offers numerous benefits for maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Unlike harsher cleansers, its creamy and gentle formula effectively removes impurities, makeup, and excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. This makes it particularly suitable for those with sensitive or dry skin types. Additionally, cleansing milk often contains nourishing ingredients like vitamins and essential oils that can soothe and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed. By incorporating a cleansing milk into your daily skincare routine, you promote a balanced complexion and prepare your skin to better absorb subsequent skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

Moreover, cleansing milks like ours can also have anti-ageing benefits. Its gentle nature allows for frequent use without causing irritation or damage to the skin barrier, which can accelerate the ageing process. By keeping the skin clean and free of impurities, plus delivering nutrients to the skin, good cleansing milk helps prevent premature signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Another advantage of using cleansing milk is that it can help maintain healthy skin. Skin has a protective layer on the surface that acts as a barrier against external aggressors like bacteria and pollutants. Harsh cleansers can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to various skin issues such as dryness, sensitivity, and acne. On the other hand, cleansing milks with a mild and gentle formula helps maintain a balanced mantle, keeping your skin healthy and resilient.

In addition to its direct benefits for the skin, using cleansing milk can also provide a relaxing and therapeutic experience. The soft and creamy texture of cleansing milk feels luxurious on the skin, providing a gentle massage as you cleanse. This can help improve blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and giving your complexion a healthy glow. The calming nature of a cleansing milk also adds to this spa-like experience, making it an enjoyable part of your skincare routine.

It's important to note that not all cleansing milks are created equal. It's essential to choose one that suits your skin type and addresses any specific concerns you may have. At Nakin all of our natural cleansers are for all skin types. It is lovely if you have dry or sensitive skin, as it has hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. If you're prone to breakouts, then it can also help with with anti-inflammatory properties.

Try Our Cleansing Milk for Your Skin

At Nakin we produce high performance natural skincare and have a beautiful cleansing milk as part of our routine. Read on to find out why cleansing milks are so beneficial for skin.

• For dry skin they are hydrating plus calming, and for oily skin they are a way to cleanse the face without stripping and causing more oil production. A cleansing milk has a part oil formula and lotion consistency, which means that is it the perfect product to add a massive amount of ingredients into the formulation. A good cleansing milk like our Nakin Advanced Cleansing Milk has so much to offer skin as it is filled with beautiful cleansers and skin conditioners including seaweed, grapeseed, pomegranate and hyaluronic acid. This means that cleansing milks can help to keep skin young and youthful when they are an anti-ageing cleaning milk like ours. What’s more is that the oil in the formula is attracted to the oil on our face and neck, and so it is able to beautifully clean all skin types.
• If you have been using a good foaming cleanser on your face and find that your skin is left dry and sensitive, then switching to a cleansing milk can be a game changer. Not only is the part oil formula great for removing everything from SPF to sweat, a good one like our Natural Cleansing Milk is also kind to even sensitive skin.
• Cleansing milks make great facial cleansers and can work away dirt, sweat, grime, sun products and make-up. If you wear heavy makeup or waterproof mascara, then you might find a double cleanse is needed. To apply a cleansing milk gently massage into the face and neck so that as well as being super stimulating for skin this action also dislodges dirt and grime, which are then easily wiped away when removed with a damp cloth or cotton pad. Cleansing milks can also be used as exfoliators by simply removing them with a damp lukewarm muslin cloth, and moving over the face and neck in small circular motions. It is one of the most natural and delicate ways to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells from the facial area.
• All in all, cleansing milks have so many benefits and this is one of the reasons that we love them. As well as providing skin with a thorough but gentle cleanse, they also leave skin looking and feeling fresh and healthy. Most people that use a cleansing milk find they reveal a much more radiant and hydrated complexion than other cleansers such as a face wash. These changes might be subtle but should gradually increase as the complexion welcomes the benefits of the cleansing milk over time.

When it comes to application, simply massage the cleansing milk onto your skin in gentle circular motions before rinsing off with lukewarm water. You can also use a soft cloth or cotton pad to wipe away the cleanser. Follow up with your favourite toner and moisturiser from our Nakin range, to complete your skincare routine.

Overall, incorporating cleansing milk into your skincare routine can provide multiple benefits for your skin. From effectively removing impurities and makeup to promoting a relaxing experience, this gentle cleanser is a must-have for achieving healthy and radiant skin. So why not give it a try and see the difference it can make in your daily self-care routine?
