Introduction
When winter arrives, your skin’s hydration levels drop — leaving it dry, tight, and less radiant. Cold air outside and heating indoors strip away natural moisture, which makes your cleanser choice more important than ever.
The secret? Switching to hydrating, nourishing cleansers that cleanse without over-drying.
That’s exactly what The Face Shop’s range of cleansers is designed for — blending natural Korean botanicals with gentle formulas to protect your skin barrier even in harsh winter weather.
1. Why You Need a Different Cleanser in Winter
Your summer foaming cleanser might be too harsh for cold months.
In winter, your skin needs a low-pH, moisture-retaining formula that cleans gently while preserving essential oils.
Korean cleansers like The Face Shop’s Rice Water Bright and Herb Day 365 ranges are formulated with:
-
Rice water extract – to brighten and soften dull skin
-
Moringa & Aloe extracts – to soothe and hydrate
-
Soapwort & Green Tea – to cleanse gently while maintaining pH balance
