You may have found that all the scrubbing in the world doesn't
guarantee a great skin. Perhaps because you've been following the wrong
skin cleansing regime. There's a science behind washing your face, perhaps it's time to take into account these facts on skin care.
Double cleanse
There's more to cleansing than having a squeaky clean face.
Your body produces a natural oil as a means of protection from bacteria and to help keep your skin smooth and moist. When washing your face you need to bear this natural oil in mind.
Since we know that water and don’t mix, you need to consider that cleansing with a water-based cleanser alone will not be very effective.
You're not cleansing properly if you aren't removing the excess oil from your face. Using a water-based cleanser alone is particularly ineffective if you have an oily or problematic skin.
Fight oil with oil
Oil-based cleansers, or pre-cleansers as they’re known, are designed to dissolve excess oil on the surface of the skin without drying it out excessively. They might feel oily, but because of the way they’re formulated, they’re really easy to remove.
Once the excess oil has been dissolved, a water-based cleanser will do it's job and effectively clean your face. Always follow an oil-based pre-cleanser with a regular cleanser for a thorough but gentle ‘double cleanse’.
Have your skin tested so that you can use the best cleanser for your skin type.
Getting cleansing right will make your skin less problematic, more resilient and more radiant. It will also make the products that you use after cleansing a lot more effective.
