Beauty Talk: Face Cleansing

I never knew how important cleansing the face with the right stuff and doing it the right way really is, but it definitely makes a huge difference.

My esthetician put me on a regimen with face and eye creams based on my skin type and concerns, and set me up for my microdermabrasion facial every five to six weeks. I was on it — and my skin looked and felt amazing. I saw the difference and loved all of it…until recently.

I just visited the Dermalogica Skin Institute with some of my members and learned a few extra tips and all of sudden my skin looked even better! I was definitely using the correct creams and cleansers prescribed to me but what I found out was the way I was using my cleansers wasn’t as effective as it could be.

I wasn’t activating the ingredients before applying it to my face! Yes, I use two different types of cleansers but what I wasn’t doing was mixing them with water to emulsify them for about thirty to forty seconds before applying it to my face, neck and décolleté, using circular motions for about 30 to 60 seconds. Then I had to rinse well and cleanse again.

Cleansing is important because this removes makeup, dirt and debris which can prevent your products from being absorbed into your skin.

You will see the difference after you apply your face cream and eye cream. Your face will have a great glow and you will feel as if you got some color, but what it really is, is your skin being cleansed and stimulated.

You will have smooth skin with a natural glow that everyone will compliment you on. Try it and you’ll see.

Until next time, look your best, feel your best, but most of all love yourself!!!!
