Bar: Cle de Peau Beaute’s Synactif Soap, $148

For many years, bars were considered too basic for the beauty world. But this new generation of bars are not only luxe and ultra-nourishing; they also have a more skin-friendly pH and foams into soft, creamy lather. We like Cle de Peau Beaute’s Synactif Soap, which is chock full of anti-ageing ingredients to leave skin soft and radiant.

The RE-Earth Purifying Bar has honey and Japanese White Tumeric to soothe and brighten. P.S. Another reason to love bars? Their environmentally-friendly packaging.

Drier complexions will love balms. They melt away stubborn makeup, dirt and debris without stripping skin of essential moisture.

Chanel’s Sublimage L’huile-en-gel de Demaquillage is packed with essential fatty acids and camellia oil.

Foam: Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam EX, $50
image

Now if you have sensitive skin that is prone to oiliness, foams are the way to go. They are great at removing excess sebum, but have a rich, foamy lather that is gentler on sensitive skin. One of our favourites is the Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam EX ($50). It’s made with botanical ingredients like duckweed and chestnut shell extracts to thoroughly cleanse without overly stimulating skin.

Cream: The NARSskin Gentle Cream Cleanser, $52

Usually thicker and ultra-hydrating, they are perfect for dry, sensitive complexions as they gently cleanse without stripping skin of essential moisture and oils.
