Dealing with stubborn sunscreen, makeup, and the day's build-up in Mauritius' humid climate can be a challenge. This lightweight cleansing oil effortlessly melts away impurities without stripping your skin's natural moisture. It is the perfect first step in an evening routine to achieve a truly deep, yet gentle, clean.

• Best For: All skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
• What it Does: Effectively removes waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
• What to Expect: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without any greasy residue after rinsing.

This product is the first step of a "double cleanse" in the evening.

1. Step 1 (This Product): On a dry face, massage 1-2 pumps of the cleansing oil to dissolve makeup and sunscreen.
2. Step 2 (Emulsify & Rinse): Add a little water to your hands and massage again. The oil will turn milky. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
3. Step 3 (Second Cleanse): Follow with a water-based foam or gel cleanser to wash away any remaining residue.

Note: Already own a similar product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption. Substitute, don’t stack.

A cleansing oil is most effective as the start of your evening routine to break down the day's impurities.

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps):
  1. [THIS PRODUCT] → on dry skin, then emulsify & rinse.
  2. Water-Based Cleanser → to complete the double cleanse.
  3. Moisturiser → to hydrate and lock everything in.
• Optional Additions: After cleansing, you can add a toner, serum, or treatment before your final moisturiser. Always apply products from the thinnest to thickest texture.

Daily Use — PM Only (or AM if very oily):

• Amount: 1-2 pumps for the full face.
• Apply to: A dry face, including over makeup. It is safe for use around the eye area to remove mascara and eyeliner, but keep eyes closed.
• Method:
  1. Dispense oil into dry hands and gently massage onto your dry face for about 30 seconds.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and massage the face again. The oil will turn into a milky emulsion.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
  4. Follow immediately with a water-based cleanser.
• Frequency: Use once daily in the evening.

If-This / Then-That:

• Wearing heavy makeup? Massage for a full 60 seconds before adding water to ensure everything dissolves.
• Have stubborn blackheads? Focus your massage on areas like the nose and chin to help loosen sebum plugs over time.
• Skin feels sensitive? This cleanser is gentle, but ensure you are not rubbing too hard. Let the oil do the work.

• Immediately: Skin feels thoroughly clean, soft, and comfortable. Makeup, sunscreen, and surface oil are completely removed.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent nightly use as part of a double-cleanse routine, you may notice a reduction in clogged pores and blackheads. Skin appears clearer and feels more balanced.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The long-term benefit of proper cleansing is a healthier skin barrier and fewer breakouts caused by accumulated impurities.

Why use an emulsifying cleansing oil, not just any oil or a harsh soap?

• Choose This: An emulsifying cleansing oil like SKIN1004's contains surfactants that allow it to mix with water and rinse away completely, taking all the dissolved makeup and dirt with it. This prevents clogged pores. [Evidence: Ingredient rationale]
• Not That: Using plain kitchen oils (like coconut oil) can be comedogenic for many and does not rinse off cleanly, leaving a greasy film that can trap bacteria and cause breakouts. Harsh soaps or makeup wipes strip the skin's natural barrier, leading to irritation, dryness, and sometimes even more oil production as the skin tries to compensate. [Evidence: Ingredient rationale]

• Works Well With: This is the first step of a double cleanse. It is designed to be followed by any water-based cleanser (foam, gel, or cream). The soothing Centella formula makes it compatible with routines that include strong actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids, as it provides a gentle start.
• Use Carefully: No major conflicts. The primary caution is to ensure it is thoroughly rinsed off before applying subsequent products.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to a wet face, as this will emulsify the oil prematurely and reduce its effectiveness at dissolving makeup and sebum.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Its light texture effectively dissolves excess sebum and blackheads without adding heaviness or stripping the skin.
• Dry Skin: Very suitable. It cleanses without disrupting the skin's lipid barrier, leaving skin feeling soft and nourished, not tight.
• Sensitive Skin: Ideal. The formula is built around soothing Centella Asiatica and is designed to be gentle, making it a great choice for reactive skin.

• Makeup & Sunscreen Removal: Effectively breaks down even waterproof formulas.
• Clogged Pores & Blackheads: Helps dissolve sebum plugs within pores, reducing congestion over time.
• Excess Sebum: Lifts away daily oil build-up without causing the skin to overproduce more oil.
• Dullness: By providing a clean canvas, it allows other skincare products to absorb more effectively, leading to a brighter complexion.

• Issue: The oil isn't turning milky.
  Quick Fix: Ensure you are applying the oil to a completely dry face and hands first. Only add water *after* you have massaged the oil and dissolved your makeup.

Emulsify

The process of mixing oil and water. In cleansing oils, special ingredients allow the oil to turn milky and rinse away cleanly with water, preventing a greasy residue.

Centella Asiatica

A medicinal herb, also known as "Cica" or "Tiger Grass," famous in K-beauty for its potent soothing, calming, and skin-repairing properties.

PAO (Period After Opening)

1. Why do I need an oil cleanser? Can't I just use my regular face wash?

A regular water-based face wash struggles to break down oil-based impurities like waterproof sunscreen and long-wear foundation. An oil cleanser works on the "like dissolves like" principle, efficiently melting these away. Following with a water-based cleanser removes everything for a truly thorough clean that helps prevent clogged pores.

2. I have oily skin. Won't a cleansing oil make me break out?

No, quite the opposite! This is a common myth. A well-formulated cleansing oil like this one dissolves the excess sebum and hardened oil in your pores. Because it emulsifies and rinses away completely, it doesn't leave a greasy film. By cleansing gently, it also prevents your skin from overproducing oil to compensate for being stripped, which can lead to fewer breakouts over time.

3. How is this different from other cleansing oils?

The SKIN1004 Light Cleansing Oil is specifically known for its very lightweight, watery texture and its high concentration of soothing Centella Asiatica extract. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive and oily skin types who might find richer cleansing balms or oils too heavy.

Best For: Those looking for a gentle, lightweight, and effective first-step cleanser, especially if they have sensitive or oily skin.

• Effortlessly removes all traces of makeup and sunscreen.
