Let Your Skin Feel Better - for Under Ten Euros a Month
Typically, many products are used for facial skincare: cleanser, makeup remover, exfoliator, toner, serum, day cream, night cream, eye cream, face mask, lip balm. The chemical load from various products is considerable, not to mention what all these jars cost.
Did you know that Luonkos offers a domestic ecological alternative that cleanses, removes makeup, balances, treats, and moisturizes your facial skin? All with one high-quality product. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe, but it is true. Luonkos oil cleansing cakes are true multi-purpose products; with them, you save your skin, nature, and money, and you know what you're putting on your face. Less is more, naturally!
What Does Oil Cleansing Do?
- Oil cleansing is a gentle yet effective cleanser for the skin. The skin does not lose its moisture barrier; the oil dissolves dirt and impurities from the face and leaves the skin radiant without drying it out. Oil cleansing is also suitable for removing eye makeup, and the oil also nourishes eyelashes and the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Suitable for everyone. Oil cleansing is suitable for all ages and various skin types, including sensitive, combination, dry, and oily skin.
- Balances the symptoms of problematic skin. The skin strives to produce what it lacks. The use of overly drying and alkaline cleansing products (e.g., soaps) disrupts the skin's natural function. When the skin's bacterial balance is disturbed, the surface dries and even closes pores, causing secreted sebum to lead to blockages, pimples, and even longer-lasting inflammation under the surface. Luonkos oil cleansing cakes do not alter the skin's pH balance; they maintain its natural function and provide the skin with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Oil cleansing also works well in the treatment of acne-prone and oily skin.
- Correct use, is oil cleansing suitable for everyone? In oil cleansing, correct use is important – always wipe excess oil with a damp cloth or sponge, not water. A fraction of people feel that oil cleansing is not suitable for their skin; in this case, try double cleansing. Double cleansing refers to a skincare and especially makeup removal routine where the skin is first washed with an oil-based product and then, for example, with a powdered cleansing product. Oil cleansing is an excellent method on its own, but if you are concerned that your skin will remain oily afterward, double cleansing is a good option.

Skin condition - My skin is surface dry with couperose. My skin tone has evened out, I use this to remove makeup, wipe it off, and sometimes even apply it to my skin afterward. Great product :) -Kaisa 11/2022
How to Do Oil Cleansing?
Handle the oil cleansing cake with clean, dry hands. Oil cleansing is done without water.
- Rub the cake between your warm hands until oils begin to release.
- Apply the released oil to your face and massage in circular motions until the oil dissolves makeup and accumulated dirt on your face.
- Wipe your face with a face sponge or cloth dampened with warm water.

Why is Oil Cleansing Affordable?
An oil cleansing cake replaces your facial cleanser, makeup remover, toner, and even partially your moisturizer. The cakes are long-lasting; one cake can last up to three or four months (total cost then under 10 euros per month). Oil cleansing does not over-cleanse the skin, so the need for moisturizing products decreases. Some users hardly use moisturizer at all with oil cleansing, while others add a few drops of, for example, Luostarin Aarteet's oil serum or their favorite moisturizer after cleansing.
Many people with atopic skin have improved their skin condition to the point where they no longer need expensive corticosteroid creams or other treatment creams. User experiences strongly speak to the benefits of oil cleansing for dry, atopic skin. Of course, it must be remembered that each of us is an individual; we all have a different, personal microbiome, and thus everyone reacts in their own way to different products and chemicals.
