Unlike many faceless skin care brands that cater for your type of skin, we do things differently here at Sönd. We understand the workings of the skin, especially skin that’s prone to acne or any other distressing skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema or psoriasis.
Asking the question, “what is a facial cleanser” might seem like a pointless question, with a pretty straightforward answer, doesn’t it? Because aren’t they all exactly the same? Well, actually, as we’ve seen before, the products we use that are designed to cleanse the face are all very different indeed.
Having acne prone skin can feel like a constant battle between your skin and your skin care. Whilst we might do all we can to avoid our acne triggers (which might be stress, diet related or down to the weather being too humid and sweaty or too cold and harsh), finding the right skin care can be tricky.
Most vitamin and mineral supplements target our physical health, such as that of the heart, brain or muscles. Others target our mental wellbeing. But what about those that target our biggest organ, the skin? Can a skin supplement work to maintain healthy, plump, youthful and blemish free skin?
A face serum is a concentrated skin booster, that may resemble a face cream. However, since they contain very concentrated ingredients, they tend to be used more sparingly than a moisturiser and therefore come in smaller containers. Find out how to use them.
A foaming cleanser, by virtue of its name, will foam up when you use it, usually after mixing it with water. Generally, a foaming cleanser will need to be mixed with water in your hands and applied to the face with a gentle massaging motion. It’ll then generally need to be rinsed away or wiped off with a damp face cloth.
If you’ve ever noticed little rolls of face cream or foundation (or a mix of both) on your face after you’ve carefully applied everything, you’ve experienced product pilling. You may not have heard of it, but most of us have experienced it at some point.
It's important that you cleanse your skin for as long as your skin feels it needs it, and can tolerate it. This might mean standing in front of a stop watch whilst you work out what’s best for your beautifully individual skin. Or, if your skin isn’t that precious when it comes to how long you cleanse, give it the full 60 seconds of gentle, circular massaging.
Our entire skin care range doesn’t care about your sex, gender, polical leanings or your favourite Netflix box set. It just cares about looking after your skin. We developed our range around our hero product - alkalising silica salts, that deeply nourish and support all skin types.
