How many of you use your facial cleanser to remove your makeup? Would it shock you to know your trusty cleanser may not actually be removing your makeup at all?! Brace yourself: ALL CLEANSERS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL... it's true!
Treatment cleansers are designed to cleanse the blank canvas of our skin. Treatment cleansers do the hard stuff: deep clean our pores, treat our lines and wrinkles, treat our discoloration, etc. Yet how can our treatment cleansers do their job if we still have layers of gunk on our skin?! (Yuk!) If treatment cleansers are put on skin that has a layer of primer and makeup on it already, we are just smooshing all of that makeup around on our skin and leaving all of that icky residue behind. (Double yuk!)
So what's the secret? It's simple: either use a makeup remover before cleansing your skin or use a cleanser that does double duty as a makeup remover. There are a few out there!
My favorite makeup remover; Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse: It dissolves oil-based makeup, sebum, sunscreen and pollutants while prepping the skin for your treatment cleanser. It "delivers a level of cleansing traditionally found in a professional treatment room." ---- www.dermalogica.com
Other makeup removers that get the job done:
Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil (which comes in 6 different formulas!)
MAC Cleanse Off Oil
Some facial cleansers that do double duty as makeup removers:
Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Foaming Cleanser
philosophy Purity
Bottom line: for truly healthy skin we have to get the makeup and gunk off first, then we'll be able to treat those pesky skin issues that lie beneath!
Healthy skin... here we come!
