Facial cleansing is the foundation of an effective skincare routine. Throughout the day, the skin is exposed to excess sebum, perspiration, pollution, dust, sunscreen, makeup and other impurities that can accumulate on its surface.
Using a suitable facial cleanser helps remove these daily residues while preparing the skin for the products applied afterwards. However, cleansing should not leave the face feeling excessively dry, rough or uncomfortable.
The New Angance Gentle Foaming Cleanser is designed to gently cleanse the skin while supporting a fresh and comfortable after-feel. Its creamy texture transforms into a lightweight foam when mixed with water, making it suitable for a simple morning and evening skincare routine.
In this complete guide, discover the benefits of facial cleansing, the main ingredients in the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, the correct way to use it and how to combine it with hydrating and moisturising skincare products.

Why Is Facial Cleansing Important?
Facial cleansing is not simply about rinsing the face with water. It helps remove substances that accumulate on the skin during the day and creates a clean base for serums, moisturisers and other skincare products.
It removes excess sebum
Sebum is naturally produced by the skin and contributes to its protective barrier. However, excessive accumulation can make the complexion appear oily and may contribute to the visible appearance of congested pores.
A gentle facial cleanser helps remove excess oil without requiring aggressive rubbing.
It removes sunscreen
Sunscreen is designed to remain on the skin for several hours. It should therefore be removed properly at the end of the day, especially when using a water-resistant sunscreen or applying several layers.
It removes environmental impurities
Dust, pollution particles and perspiration can collect on the surface of the skin. Evening cleansing helps remove these impurities before bedtime.
It prepares the skin for serum and moisturiser
Applying skincare products over sunscreen, makeup or excess oil may prevent them from spreading evenly. Cleansing first creates a fresh base for the products used in the next steps of the routine.
It supports skin comfort
A suitable cleanser should leave the skin feeling clean without causing intense tightness, roughness or discomfort. If the skin feels excessively dry after washing, the water temperature, cleansing frequency or quantity of product may need to be adjusted.

What Is the Difference Between Cleansing and Makeup Removal?
Makeup removal and facial cleansing are connected, but they do not always perform exactly the same function.
A makeup remover is primarily used to dissolve makeup products such as waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, lipstick and resistant sunscreen.
A facial cleanser is then used to remove remaining makeup remover, excess sebum, perspiration and surface impurities.
People who do not wear makeup may be able to use the Gentle Foaming Cleanser directly. However, a separate first cleansing step may still be useful when wearing water-resistant sunscreen or several layers of skincare and makeup.
The most suitable cleansing method depends on the amount of makeup worn, the type of sunscreen used, environmental conditions and the individual needs of the skin.
What Are the Main Ingredients in the Gentle Foaming Cleanser?
The New Angance Gentle Foaming Cleanser combines cleansing agents with moisturising ingredients to help remove impurities while maintaining a comfortable after-feel.
Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
Sodium lauroyl glutamate is a cleansing agent derived from glutamic acid. It helps create foam and disperse oil, dirt and residue so that they can be removed during rinsing.
Its primary function in the cleanser is to support effective daily cleansing without requiring aggressive rubbing.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a commonly used humectant in skincare. It helps attract and retain water at the surface of the skin and contributes to a softer and more comfortable feeling after cleansing.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
Aloe vera leaf juice is often included in skincare products to support hydration and skin comfort. It complements the cleansing system and helps provide a fresh after-feel.
Urea and Hydroxyethyl Urea
Urea and hydroxyethyl urea are moisturising ingredients that help support a smoother and more supple skin feel.
Sodium Polyglutamate
Sodium polyglutamate is used in cosmetic formulations for its moisturising and film-forming properties. It works alongside glycerin, urea and other humectants in the formula.
Damask Rose Extract
Damask rose extract contributes to the sensory character of the cleanser and complements its positioning as part of a pleasant daily skincare ritual.
Information for sensitive skin
The published ingredient list also includes fragrance-related components such as eugenol, geraniol and citronellol. Anyone with a known sensitivity to fragrance should review the complete ingredient list before using the cleanser.
Introduce new skincare products gradually and discontinue use if persistent redness, burning, itching or discomfort occurs.

How to Use the New Angance Gentle Foaming Cleanser
The way a facial cleanser is used can be just as important as the product itself. Follow these simple steps to remove impurities without unnecessary friction.
Step 1: Wet the face with lukewarm water
Begin by wetting the face and neck with lukewarm water. Avoid very hot water because it may increase feelings of dryness, redness or tightness.
Step 2: Use a small amount of cleanser
A moderate amount is generally sufficient for the face and neck. Using more cleanser does not necessarily improve the result.
Step 3: Create a lightweight foam
Add a small amount of water and work the cleanser between your hands until a soft foam is formed.
Step 4: Massage gently
Apply the foam using gentle circular movements. Avoid pressing too firmly, scratching the skin or massaging one area for too long.
Pay particular attention to areas where sebum and sunscreen commonly accumulate, including the forehead, nose, sides of the nose, chin, jawline and hairline.
Step 5: Avoid direct contact with the eyes
Use a suitable eye makeup remover when necessary and avoid allowing the facial cleanser to enter the eyes. If direct contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water.
Step 6: Rinse thoroughly
Rinse the face and neck carefully with lukewarm water. Make sure no foam remains around the nose, jawline or hairline.
Step 7: Pat the skin dry
Use a clean, soft towel and gently pat the skin. Avoid rubbing the face with a rough towel.
Step 8: Follow with hydrating skincare
After cleansing, apply a hydrating serum and moisturising cream to support the skin’s softness, comfort and hydration.
Should You Cleanse Your Face Morning and Evening?
The product directions recommend using the Gentle Foaming Cleanser in the morning and evening. However, the ideal cleansing frequency can vary according to skin type, climate, activity level and individual tolerance.
Morning cleansing
A morning cleanse helps remove perspiration, overnight sebum and residue from skincare products applied before bed. It also creates a clean base for morning serum, moisturiser and sunscreen.
Very dry or reactive skin may prefer a lighter morning cleansing routine. Observe how your skin feels after washing and adjust the frequency when necessary.
Evening cleansing
Evening cleansing is particularly important because it helps remove sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum, pollution and impurities accumulated throughout the day.
Avoid unnecessary repeated cleansing
Washing the face many times during the day without a clear reason may affect the comfort of some skin types. An additional cleanse may be useful after exercise or heavy perspiration, but gentle movements and lukewarm water should still be used.
Is Double Cleansing Necessary?
Double cleansing involves using two different cleansing products one after the other, usually during the evening routine.
- An oil-based cleanser, cleansing balm or makeup remover is used to dissolve resistant makeup and sunscreen.
- A water-based or foaming cleanser is then used to remove remaining residue, excess sebum and impurities.
When can double cleansing be useful?
Double cleansing may be useful when:
- You wear long-lasting foundation or resistant makeup
- You use waterproof mascara or eyeliner
- You apply water-resistant sunscreen
- You apply several layers of sunscreen or makeup
- You spend the day in a hot or highly polluted environment
- Your skin feels coated with several products at the end of the day
Is double cleansing necessary every evening?
Not necessarily. Dry or sensitive skin may find two consecutive cleansing steps too intensive if the products or technique are not suitable.
Double cleansing should leave the skin feeling clean and comfortable. If the face feels excessively tight, rough or irritated afterwards, consider using gentler products or reducing the frequency.

How to Adapt Facial Cleansing to Your Skin Type
Although the same cleanser may be used by different skin types, the amount, frequency and application method should be adjusted according to individual needs.
Dry or dehydrated skin
Use a small amount of cleanser, avoid hot water and apply a hydrating serum and moisturising cream shortly after rinsing.
If morning cleansing causes persistent tightness, consider adjusting the frequency according to the comfort of your skin.
Combination or oily skin
Massage gently over areas where oil commonly accumulates, including the forehead, nose and chin.
Avoid aggressive scrubbing or repeated washing in an attempt to remove all natural oil. Oily skin still requires suitable hydration.
Sensitive or stressed skin
Review the complete ingredient list, particularly fragrance-related components. Introduce the product gradually and reduce the frequency if discomfort develops.
Explore products selected for sensitive and stressed skin.
Mature skin
Use gentle movements and avoid very hot water. Follow cleansing with hydrating products to maintain comfort and a supple-looking complexion.
Skin prone to blemishes
A gentle cleanser can help remove excess sebum and daily residue, but a cosmetic cleanser is not a medical treatment for acne.
Avoid harsh scrubs and consult a dermatologist when blemishes are severe, painful or persistent.
How Should You Cleanse Around the Eyes?
Eye makeup, especially waterproof mascara and long-wear eyeliner, should be removed using a product specifically suitable for the eye area.
Avoid rubbing the eyelids or pulling the delicate skin around the eyes. Keep the eyes closed during makeup removal and use gentle movements.
The Gentle Foaming Cleanser can then be used on the rest of the face while avoiding direct contact with the eyes.
Can You Use a Facial Cleansing Brush?
A facial cleansing brush or beauty device increases the mechanical action of cleansing. Daily use may not be suitable for every skin type and may cause discomfort when combined with exfoliating acids, retinoids or other active products.
Use light pressure, follow the instructions provided with the device and reduce the frequency if the skin becomes red, dry or sensitive.
Common Facial Cleansing Mistakes to Avoid
- Using very hot water: Hot water can increase feelings of dryness, redness and tightness.
- Using too much cleanser: A small amount is generally sufficient for the face and neck.
- Scrubbing for too long: Gentle massage is enough to distribute the foam and remove daily residue.
- Using a rough towel: Pat the skin dry using a clean and soft towel.
- Not rinsing properly: Remove all traces of cleanser around the nose, jawline and hairline.
- Allowing cleanser to enter the eyes: Avoid direct contact and rinse immediately if it occurs.
- Cleansing repeatedly without a reason: Adjust the frequency according to the actual needs of your skin.
- Forgetting hydration: Follow cleansing with a suitable serum and moisturising cream.
- Ignoring the ingredient list: Review fragrance-related components if your skin is sensitive.
- Using a cosmetic cleanser as medical treatment: Seek professional advice for persistent acne, eczema, rosacea or another skin condition.
