Rengöringsmjölk

Rengöringsmjölk, often translated as cleansing milk or facial milk, is a type of cosmetic product used for removing makeup and cleansing the skin. It is typically formulated with a base of water and oil, along with emulsifiers to blend these components. Additional ingredients can include emollients, humectants, and sometimes mild cleansing agents.

The primary function of rengöringsmjölk is to gently lift away impurities such as dirt, oil, and makeup, including heavier formulations like foundation and mascara. Unlike harsher cleansers that can strip the skin of its natural oils, rengöringsmjölk is designed to be mild and moisturizing. Its creamy texture is often preferred by individuals with dry, sensitive, or mature skin types, as it helps to maintain the skin's moisture barrier during the cleansing process.

To use rengöringsmjölk, a small amount is typically applied to dry or damp skin and gently massaged in circular motions. The product then emulsifies with the makeup and impurities, which can be wiped away with a soft cloth, cotton pad, or rinsed off with water, depending on the specific product's instructions and user preference. Following the use of rengöringsmjölk, it is common to follow up with a toner or another cleansing step if a deeper cleanse is desired, though many formulations are effective enough on their own. The emollients within the milk leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated after cleansing.
