Do You Rinse Off Cleansing Foam?

Yes, cleansing foam should be rinsed off with water. It is a wash-off skincare product, unlike leave-on treatments such as serums, moisturisers or some acne creams.

Start by wetting your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of cleansing foam to your hands, work it into a light lather, then gently massage it over your face. Pay attention to areas that tend to become oily or congested, such as the forehead, nose and chin.

After cleansing, rinse your face thoroughly until no product remains. Then gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

With Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, there’s no need to leave the foam on your face overnight or for an extended period. It is formulated to cleanse away excess oil and impurities during the washing step.

For Kenyan skin, this can be particularly useful after a day of sweating, sunscreen use, makeup and exposure to dust. However, avoid using very hot water or scrubbing aggressively, as this can leave your skin irritated and dry.

If your face feels uncomfortably tight after cleansing, consider using less product or cleansing less frequently.
