The backbone of every facial treatment is a good cleanser (or two). Hannah Gay discusses six exciting solutions changing the cleansing game.
When the primary step of virtually any facial is to cleanse the skin, it’s vital skin therapists leave a lasting first impression. Some of the most thrilling facials in the business are those that incorporate unexpected products or application techniques, designed to wow the client. Therefore, salon owners are regularly on the hunt for products that offer something a little different – whether in texture, scent or format.
Professional beauty brands are not remiss from being on the front-foot of innovation. Stepping outside the box and away from the traditional cream-foam-gel solutions of yesterday are businesses re-thinking everything from dispenser type to ingredient use.
Here are six unique cleansers that have stopped us in our tracks of late:
1. Hi Sweet BabyButtFace Natural Multi Stick
Gentle, effective, and easy-to-use, Hi Sweet’s BabyButtFace is a one-of-a-kind product. The creamy solid is wound up and applied directly to dry skin, like a stick of zinc – no rubbing-in required. Best removed with a wet cotton pad, Australian green wattle and sunflower oil help to eliminate even sensitive skins of makeup and excess oils.
To stock, call Hi Sweet on 0451 977 339.
2. SkinMed Micellar & Hydrate Facial Cleanser
If you find yourself on the fence when it comes to the use of micellar water on the skin, SkinMed’s formula makes for a smart solution. This hyaluronic acid-packed liquid was designed with client convenience in mind, working to reduce the presence of build-up on the skin’s surface, while simultaneously replenishing lost lipids so as not to onset dehydration.
To stock, call SkinMed on 1300 535 675.
3. LUÉ by Jean Seo Moisturizing Honey Wash
LUÉ by Jean Seo is one of few brands successfully prioritising sustainable beauty, and making it chic. With a scent so good you could almost eat it, this cleaner’s top ingredient is quite literally… honey. 40% raw organic honey is rich in antioxidants and works to calm the skin with use, all while housed in biodegradable packaging.
To stock, call Encore Beauty on 1300 770 428.
4. Roccoco Botanicals Ruby Crystal Cleanser
Having recently taken home an Allē Award for The Most Significant Skin/Body Care Formula in the Indie category, we’d be remiss to exclude this gem from the pack. Roccoco Botanicals Ruby Crystal Cleanser combines active ingredients such as Ethyl Linoleate, Jojoba Oil, Rose Absolute and Passionfruit Seed Oil, and is dispensed as an electric red balm. The brand’s Jacine Greenwood describes the product as a 7-in-1 cleanser, targeting an array of signs of aging.
To stock, visit the Roccoco Botanicals website.
5. Ere Perez Fig All-Beauty Jelly
Taking a look at Ere Perez’s line-up of SKUs, and it’s no surprise her latest venture into cleansing takes a dual role approach. Featuring sunflower oil, sucrose and fig fruit extract, this clear gel functions as a gentle makeup remover as well as an overnight mask for a further skin refresh.
To stock, call Ere Perez on 02 9130 3582.
6. iS Clinical Cleansing Complex Polish
Riding the coat-tails of iS Clinical’s successful Cleanser Complex is the brand’s latest release – Cleansing Complex Polish. The product, soon to launch in Australia, similarly utilises sugarcane, willow bark and chamomilla extracts while incorporating biodegradable cellulose and jojoba particles for a more intensive cleanse.
To stock, call High Tech Medical on 1300 309 233.
