Experiencing dry, red, irritated skin? It could be down to your cleanser. More specifically, the foaming kind.

While they are designed to produce a soft and satisfying lather, foaming cleansers could actually be stripping away your skin’s protective barrier, especially when used twice a day.

If you’re experiencing a tight, squeaky-clean feeling after cleansing, it could be a sign of damage to the skins microbiome, which can even leave you prone to irritation, breakouts, and premature ageing.

The solution? Edible Beauty’s No.1 Belle Frais Cleansing Milk, $60, a non-foaming, microbiome-friendly cleanser that removes makeup and dirt without stripping away what your skin actually needs.

Founded by naturopath and nutritionist Anna Mitsios, Edible Beauty combines science-backed natural ingredients with a traditional naturopathic approach to restore balance, not disrupt it.

With over 5000 5-star reviews and 20+ natural beauty awards, the No.1 Belle Frais Cleansing Milk is one of the best-selling products from the brand, with unbelievable before and after pictures showcasing real results.

Unlike foaming cleansers that often strip the skin, Belle Frais Cleansing Milk removes makeup, excess oil, and impurities while keeping your skin hydrated and feeling silky soft.

Jam-packed with nourishing oils like camellia seed, coconut oil and sunflower seed oil, this best-selling formula gently cleanses and hydrates without stripping the skin.

It also contains natural fruit AHAs (apple and strawberry) to gently exfoliate and brighten skin without causing any irritation, and instead maintaining the health of the microbiome.

Thanks to calming cucumber and wattleseed extracts, this soothing formula also helps with redness and keeping breakouts at bay.

The Aussie born brand ensures that all ingredients go through a screening process to ensure that they have a “food grade” purity level, which means they are highly-efficacious and provide game-changing results for all skin types.

There’s over 15 native Australian botanicals across Edible Beauty’s formulas for powerful, game-changing results.

Kind to the planet and the skin, all products are PETA certified vegan and cruelty free, and are packaged in recycled PCR.

Shoppers who have tried and tested the Belle Frais Cleansing Milk have given the formula five-star reviews.

“I have used hundreds of different cleansing products, but nothing smells divine like this one. It cleans my skin wonderfully without leaving it dry. I would not go back to using foaming cleansers ever again,” one shopper commented.

“Absolutely love this product. It has helped my breakouts so much and my skin feels fresh, clean, and soft without any dryness,” another wrote.

“I used to hesitate washing my face because cleansers made my irritation worse, but with Edible Beauty I actually look forward to cleansing. It’s soothing and healing, not stripping. My skin has completely transformed,” a third shopper said.
