Do a Double Cleanse

Do you wash your face regularly – or at some kind of a routine?  If not, here is why you should actually do a double cleanse.  It can help you.

Why is cleansing so important?

Here are some questions for you…think really hard about these.

• Do you cleanse your face regularly?
• Do you think it’s important to do so?
• Do you know the right answer to these questions?
• Why is cleansing so important?
• Why do a double cleanse?

First, no matter your skin type, you should cleanse regularly.  This means washing your face in the morning and in the evening.  I know it can be a pain – it’s much easier to skip here an there (or all the time).  But, it really is important to wash regularly.  You don’t need to clean more than that unless you’ve gotten really dirty or sweaty.  In that case, rinse only.  But, why?

Let’s take it step by step…

Morning / Evening Routines

In the morning, you’ve been sleeping all night.  Why wash your face in the morning?  Quite frankly, you’ve been sweating and rolling your face over all your sheets / your pillow.  You should get any oil, sweat, dirt off.  Granted, there shouldn’t be a lot of dirt but oil and sweat have accumulated – that’s what happens.  Plus, you want to try to initially remove any stuck dead skin cells that can easily come off (you’ll need to exfoliate to really get these unstuck – but washing is a first step).  Otherwise, you’re in store for some unsightly blackheads.

Next, cleansing before bed.  If you wear any make-up at all, you need to remove it.  Even if you don’t wear make-up, oil, dirt, pollution, etc. is on your skin from the day.  Not removing it can contribute to clogged pores, which can turn into acne.  Even if you’re not worried about acne, that junk can really start to do a number on your skin.  It can make you look older because your skin isn’t at its optimum, which means:

• Wrinkles
• Loss of collagen

Do a double cleanse!  Skip the wrinkles and acne by doing this.

Do a Double cleanse

So, how do you do a double cleanse?  First you’ll want to use an oil based cleanser – yes, even if you have oily skin.  Believe me, it will help.  You just need to use the right one.  I suggest using a micellar water and the best part is, you can make your own.  Here’s how to make your own micellar water.

You’ll want to put it on your face and wipe off gently – making sure all the make-up was removed.  This oil based cleanser helps to remove the oil and sticky sebum on your face.  An added bonus is you can use it on your face and eyes.

Next, use a gentle cleanser to do a double cleanse.  Here is where you use your gentle glycerin soap to wash your skin.  And, that’s it!  It’s really that easy to do a double cleanse.
