Residues of skincare products also burden the skin. Gentle cleansing of the facial skin removes all of these impurities, which can clog pores and cause skin problems such as pimples and blackheads. Tip: the widely praised <a href=\"https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/en\/tuote\/rimitaoats-facial-cleansing-oil-100ml\/\">RimitaOats facial cleansing oil<\/a> also works as a makeup remover \u2013 no separate product is needed. <em>Morning cleansing:<\/em> while we sleep our skin is busy. Skin cells renew, and the skin produces oil and sweat. Cleansing your face in the morning is therefore a smart routine to chase away the impurities that accumulated overnight. If you choose RimitaOats facial cleansing oil as your cleanser, you get many benefits at once: it softens, cares for, nourishes and moisturises the skin. Thanks to its antioxidants and vitamins, it helps the skin stay healthy, beautiful and vital-looking.<\/li><li><strong>Preventing inflammation.<\/strong> Gentle cleansing that respects the skin&#8217;s functions reduces the number of bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms on the skin, which in turn lowers the risk of inflammation. Regularly cleansed skin is healthier and less prone to various skin conditions.<\/li><li><strong>Boosting your skincare routine.<\/strong> If our skin is layered with grime, it is hard for caring products to act in the deeper layers of the skin. Cleansed skin absorbs and makes better use of moisturisers and serums. Remember: cleansing creates a solid foundation for your skincare routine and makes sure the products you use can work effectively.<\/li><li><strong>Supporting skin renewal, radiance and beauty.<\/strong> When we cleanse regularly, we also remove dead skin cells from the surface. This promotes skin renewal, improves skin tone, adds radiance and makes skin look healthier and more even. Tip: cleanse morning and evening with RimitaOats facial cleansing oil and a konjac face sponge. This gently but effectively removes dead skin cells and gives your skin a pampering facial massage whose feel-good effects last well into the day.<\/li><li><strong>Promoting skin health.<\/strong> Regular cleansing of the facial skin with gentle products maintains skin health in the long term. It helps preserve the skin&#8217;s natural pH balance and prevents problems such as dryness, oiliness and sensitivity.<\/li><\/ul><div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"897\" src=\"https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/RimitaOats-Facial-Cleansing.webp\" alt=\"RimitaOats facial cleansing oil\" class=\"wp-image-12771\" style=\"width:488px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/RimitaOats-Facial-Cleansing.webp 718w, https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/RimitaOats-Facial-Cleansing-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/RimitaOats-Facial-Cleansing-300x375.webp 300w, https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/RimitaOats-Facial-Cleansing-600x750.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure><div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is gentle skin cleansing?<\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gentle cleansing means, besides soft cleansing movements, using natural products that suit the skin and do not dry it. It is based on keeping the skin&#8217;s own protective layer intact and balanced, which helps prevent irritation, dryness and other problems. In gentle cleansing the skin is not irritated, scraped or roughed up with overly harsh substances but treated lovingly and respectfully. Cleansing products are chosen in natural cosmetics quality and with respect for your own skin&#8217;s special characteristics. Natural-cosmetics-quality cleansers are friendlier to both skin and environment: they contain fewer chemical additives and artificial fragrances, which tend to irritate the skin and burden nature.<\/p><div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the advantages of cleansing oil over other cleansers?<\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleansing oils have a unique ability to dissolve impurities such as excess sebum, makeup and dirt. A cleansing oil removes impurities effectively from the crevices of the pores too, nourishing, caring for and protecting the skin as it cleans. Cleansing oils are particularly good options for dry, atopic and sensitive skin because they do not remove the skin&#8217;s own oils too strongly.<\/p><div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In a nutshell:<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Effective cleansing:<\/strong> cleansing oils are very effective at removing makeup, dirt and impurities. Mineral makeup and sunscreen also come off easily.<\/li><li><strong>Gentleness:<\/strong> a cleansing oil is a gentler, more nourishing and less irritating choice than cleansing gels and foams that easily dry the skin. It does not remove the skin&#8217;s natural protection, which is especially important for dry, atopic and sensitive skin.<\/li><li><strong>Nourishing and protective:<\/strong> RimitaOats facial cleansing oil contains protective, moisturising and nourishing ingredients such as Finnish oats and sea buckthorn grown wild on the Ostrobothnian coast. These antioxidant- and vitamin-rich gifts of nature make Rimita&#8217;s cleansing oil a best friend of dry, atopic and sensitive skin.<\/li><li><strong>Boosting skincare:<\/strong> cleansing oils help other products, such as moisturisers and serums, absorb better. When skin is clean and moisturised it can make better use of their active ingredients.<\/li><li><strong>A pampering, caring experience:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/rimitagreen.com\/en\/tuote\/rimitaoats-facial-cleansing-oil-100ml\/\">RimitaOats facial cleansing oil<\/a> turns even an everyday cleansing moment into an almost luxurious experience. Its light neroli scent leaves skin silky soft and feeling lovely.<\/li><\/ul><div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><section itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><h3 style=\"font-size:28px\">Frequently asked questions<\/h3><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><h4 itemprop=\"name\" style=\"margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:10px\">Why should you cleanse your face morning and evening?<\/h4><div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><p itemprop=\"text\">In the evening, cleansing removes dust, pollution, bacteria and product residues gathered during the day.
