Is your skin really clean?

What you clean your skin with is vitally important, but are you sure you are doing it right?

Thoroughly cleansing can make all the difference in the health of your skin. Lets talk double cleansing. Yes, that means two, twice, dos... eh you get the picture.

Start with your cleanser (professionally recommended I hope). Apply product to the palms of your hands and give it a good rubbing. Start at your decolletage (upper chest), move up towards your neck, and finally your face. Make sure that you are getting to all the crooks and crannies, the sides of your nose, hair line, and in front of your ears. Now, repeat two more times. I love the number three, so an easy rule of thumb is everything in threes. (OK except the double cleanse)

Rinse and repeat. Yup, do the same thing all over again.

The reason for all of this is to make sure that your removing all of the dirt, oil, and sometimes make up from your skin. It's kinda like that stubborn lasagna pan you can't get clean the first time you try to wash it. I know that is a terrible way to think of your skin, but you have to admit it's a pretty good analogy.

Now you are ready for the rest of your home care regimen. Wether it's exfoliating, using a mask or an easy day of eye cream and moisturizer, your are clean and fresh and ready to go :)
