Then soak 2 tissues in thermal water and apply to the right and left sides of the face, like a sheet mask, for 10 minutes. Finally, apply a thick layer of a hydrating and soothing mask that penetrates the skin and protects it.

      Yes, it’s possible with a gentle product adapted to sensitive skin, the texture of which must be smooth and comfortable. When the skin is sensitive, we recommend exfoliating only once a week. Use circular movements, not pressing too hard, and then rinse well with clean water. When it’s time to dry, gently pat the skin with a towel.

      The Milk Cleanser allows for a very gentle make-up removal from the face and eyes. It can be massaged into the face and neck using circular movements and then removed with a cotton pad soaked in lotion or water. Alternatively, apply the milk cleanser to a cotton pad and apply from the centre of the face outwards.
