Your skin needs gentle cleansing and moisturizing every day. Especially if you have dry skin, hot water and frequent use of soap can cause irritation. That’s why cream cleansing is a gentle alternative to traditional soap washing – suitable for the face, body, and even hair, for all ages.

After reading this article, you’ll understand:

• Why cleansing with moisturizer is a great alternative to soap.
• How to do it correctly.
• What benefits it offers for your skin.

A gentle alternative to soap: cleansing skin with moisturizer

In cream cleansing, the skin is washed with water and a suitable moisturizing cream instead of soap. It effectively removes both water- and oil-based impurities without drying out the skin like soap-based cleansers often do. However, not all creams are suitable for cleansing – for example, very greasy creams may not work well.

“Our Gentle Cleansing & Moisturizing Cream has the right consistency for cream cleansing and can be used not only on the skin but also on the hair. It cleanses and moisturizes without leaving a greasy residue. Cream cleansing is particularly well-suited for dry skin, I warmly recommend giving it a try” says Maarit, Well by Orion Pharma’s Development Manager and chemist.

Use Gentle Cleansing & Moisturizing Cream like you would use soap

Soap can wash away the skin’s natural moisture-binding agents. Cream cleansing protects your skin better by preserving its natural barrier. That’s why it’s especially important for dry and atopic skin.

Moisture for hair and scalp

Sometimes, you can wash your hair with a moisturizer instead of shampoo. This is especially helpful for dry or itchy scalps that need extra moisture. Gentle Cleansing & Moisturizing Cream rinses out easily and won’t leave your hair greasy.
