Girl (or boy) wash your face!
Girl (or boy) wash your face!
I used to be the person who would quickly wash my face in the shower, fall asleep with makeup on, or quickly run out the door in the morning.
Sound familiar?
When I realized the importance of washing my face I made it a priority. Here’s why you should too!
According to Lela Lankerani, D.O. of Westlake Dermatology, https://www.westlakedermatology.com/blog/skin-cleansing-101-why-washing-your-face-is-important/, three important reasons to wash your face are:
Helps remove build up.
Boosts hydration.
Aids in maintaining clear skin.
With literally hundreds of cleansing products to choose from, knowing your skin type will help you choose a cleanser that’s a good match for your skin.
It took me YEARS of searching, lots of trial and error but I finally found my skin's perfect match.
I'll save you some time (and money) and recommend my latest go-to fave.
I am currently obsessing over the Beautycounter Refreshing Foaming Cleanser and here’s why:
This creamy foaming cleanser gently removes makeup, dirt, and impurities from my face and eyes while leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth, not tight or dry like so many others have.
It is a gentle cleanser, so it’s ideal for anyone and doesn't disrupt the skin's moisture barrier.
It’s super light and allows the skincare products applied afterwards to optimally absorb.
And knowing it’s made with safer ingredients gives me comfort that my precious skin is getting the best care possible!
How I use it:
I work a quarter size amount of cleanser into a velvety foam in the palm of my hand. Then, I massage it in circular motions for about a minute both morning and night.
I rinse with cotton pads which keeps this step extra hygienic.
Moral of the story:
Next time you’re in a rush, tired, or debating whether in or not to wash your face, DO IT!
