Usage Tips from Beauty Time:
- The Beauty Time team recommends using a small amount of cleanser; using more does not mean better cleansing and may increase the feeling of dryness.
- If the skin is very oily, focus the massage on the T-zone, forehead, nose, and chin instead of rubbing the entire face for a long time.
- If you use makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, use a makeup remover or cleansing oil before it, then make Sébium Gel the second step.
- For sensitive or dry-leaning skin, start using it once daily, then adjust the frequency according to the skin’s response.
- Avoid washing the face with very hot water because it may increase dryness and discomfort.
- After cleansing, use a lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer even if your skin is oily to help maintain its barrier.
- If you use strong acne treatments such as retinoids or acids, monitor any dryness or flaking and adjust the number of cleansing times when needed.
- Do not rub inflamed pimples while washing; simply glide the foam gently then rinse.
- Do not use harsh cleansing brushes daily with the cleanser, as excess friction may irritate the skin.
- In the morning, follow cleansing with a moisturizer, then a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect the skin.
