Muslins: The essential accessory for your facial cleansing rituals.
For the past few years, women have used cotton pads or cleansing wipes in their beauty routines, whether to remove makeup or simply cleanse themselves. We've done so thinking they were the perfect option, unaware of all the residue both products produce.
But don't worry because everything has a solution: certified organic cotton muslin .
We all want glowing, radiant, smooth, and soft skin . This dream can become a reality if you start incorporating a facial cleansing routine that's kind to your body and respectful of the world around you.
Because facial cleansing is the beginning and end of any self-care ritual, it's important that it doesn't cause any harm: if you'd like to learn more about this, read our article on "Double Facial Cleansing."
And muslin cloths are an essential accessory to make your beauty routines an effective and highly desirable tool.
How do you use muslin cloths for facial cleansing?
Muslin cloths are soft, lightweight cotton fabrics that can bring out the best in cleansing balms and exfoliants in their purpose of removing impurities, dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and excess makeup.
Plus, they're easy to use: you can moisten them with warm water to remove any soap or facial cleanser you've used before.
In both cases, we'll gently wipe the cloth over your face, patting lightly, without rubbing, and with lots of love and kindness (especially around the eyes). For a clear and clean face, we recommend wiping the cloth at least two to three times to properly remove all traces of cosmetics.
If we practice double facial cleansing , what we will do with the muslin is, in the first step (with the oily product you use), remove all oily impurities, such as makeup and sebum, and in the next step (with the aqueous formula, gel or foam), eradicate the aqueous impurities and dead cells.
In addition, its gentle exfoliation :
- helps stimulate the lymphatic system , increasing blood circulation in our face and thus reducing inflammation,
- opens pores and decongests the skin ,
- prepares the skin for the subsequent application of your usual treatment…
They can be used on all skin types, as they are extremely soft and their friction is gentle and beneficial for even the most sensitive skin. Their material does not damage the hydrolipidic film and provides a gentle and pleasant exfoliation (in many cases, the same material used to wrap babies is used).
Once your facial cleansing is complete, you can wash and reuse it, promoting a zero-waste routine and contributing to environmental well-being.
What should you avoid when using a muslin?
When choosing the best muslin makeup remover, opt for those made of certified organic cotton and measuring 20cm x 20cm .
When using it, it's important to be gentle . Don't rub or apply too much pressure; gentle movements from the center outward are sufficient.
Once you've used it, rinse it well after each cleansing and clean it with organic, neutral soap every time you apply makeup. Because it's made of a very fine fabric, it dries quickly, so it's worth washing it every night to have it ready for use first thing in the morning.
Their lifespan depends on the amount of makeup we use, and they're usually replaced because they become severely stained. You'll rarely need to replace a muslin cloth because it's torn, as they're very durable. They can last for years if you don't apply makeup .
Our certified organic cotton muslins are sustainably handcrafted, one by one, in Spain by social inclusion organizations, without bleach. Their soft terry cloth pampers even the most delicate skin and pairs beautifully with the cleansing balm and eye and lip makeup remover .
