Beauty Tip: Cleansing & Skincare

In order to prevent the accumulation of waste products and surface debris from congesting and irritating the skin, a thorough cleansing process must be performed at the beginning of any skincare routine regardless of skin type, or texture. 
In fact, this simple action not only ensures the adequate removal of dirt, dust, and cosmetics, but increases the effectiveness of further skin treatments by eliminating any barrier which may prevent the absorption of substances through the hair follicles, and between the cells of the epidermis.

A great tip when opting for the most suitable cleansing product for your skin type, is to remember that the right formula should leave even the most delicate of skins looking, and feeling, clean, cool, fresh, and soft to the touch. Experiencing any unwanted tightness or irritation will be a definite indication that your chosen product is incompatible with your skin type.

As a general rule, the drier and more sensitive the skin, the more oil is required in the cleansing product. For example, a formula with a heavy, creamy texture would be most suited to skin of a dry, sensitive nature as opposed to a oil-in-water emulsion which is of a lighter, more fluid consistency.
