Is it necessary to rinse Alpha Tonic with water?

Alpha Tonic is a multi-functional product, and depending on the application, it can be used as a leave-on or a cleansing treatment.

Keep in mind that all LE PURE products indicated for cleansing contain valuable medicinal plant nutrients. They could also be used as a nourishing product since they don’t contain any syndets (synthetic detergents) or ultra-processed natural detergents, as conventional cleansers do.

As soon as the LE PURE cleansers touch the skin, even if they are applied with a cotton pad, some of the medicinal plant nutrients are absorbed. We are convinced that the only skin-compatible cleansing products are the ones that only contain food-grade ingredients, meaning you could actually eat them.

If you are using Alpha Tonic as a face cleanser, you have 2 options:

1. Fast Cleanse: Moisten your skin with filtered water and massage 1–2 doses of Alpha Tonic into the skin. This massage, combined with water and Alpha Tonic, helps to mobilise impurities and toxins. To fully remove them, rinse thoroughly with filtered water.
2. Profound Cleansing: In this case, we apply Alpha Tonic with a cotton pad moistened with filtered water. By executing the precise movements of The Wave Cleansing technique, the toxins and dirt get trapped in the cotton pad.

   If done correctly, the skin is now cleansed and already a little bit nourished as it has absorbed a small amount of the nourishing cleansing product. Since Alpha Tonic contains only skin-compatible ingredients, rinsing the skin after cleansing with cotton pads is not necessary, and you can continue directly with applying nourishing skincare products of the LE PURE ritual.

We actually advise against rinsing the skin with water, as most tap water is hard (mineral-rich) and/or contains chlorine. These substances can enter your pores and have a negative effect on your skin.

Therefore, always use filtered water and avoid unnecessary rinsing altogether. This often represents a big change for many people as they have come to associate rinsing their skin with cleanliness and freshness. We propose you try eliminating water (except filtered water) for a couple of weeks and see how your skin reacts to this new ritual.
