Cleansers

Simplicity is the key. You need to find a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it. Avoid bar soaps which tend to dry out the skin. Soap should only ever touch your skin from the neck down. We agree. Generally speaking, you choose a creamy cleanser if you have dry skin or a gel cleanser if you have oily skin.

Tips on cleansing: Be careful not to cleanse too often. Washing once in the morning and once at night should be just fine.Use warm water to loosen dirt and clogged pores. Use a dime-sized amount of cleanser, and then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. You'll also want to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover. Never wash your face with hot or cold water (both can cause broken capillaries).
