🧼 Step 1 — Cleanse: a gentle action that prepares everything
Good cleansing prevents shine, impurities, and post-shave irritation. The key: a gentle base, physiological pH, fine foam.
Face recommendation
-
Cleansing foam
Why: eliminates excess sebum and pollution without stripping. Ideal before shaving to limit tightness.
Tip: 20–30s massage on damp skin, lukewarm water, pat dry with a towel.
Body recommendation
-
2-in-1 Shower Gel
Why: creamy lather, quick rinse, comfortable and clean skin.
Tip: one spray is enough; focus on areas prone to sweating (chest, back).
Hair recommendation
- Balancing shampoo (temporary category)
Tip: 3–4 times/week depending on sport; gentle massage, rinse thoroughly.
