Why should we cleanse our skin?
Why do we cleanse our skin, why do we have to cleanse our skin.
"Any-old cleanser will do, it's only to remove my makeup/dirt/oil, why spend the money on a good cleanser when Woolworths have a clearasil triple action cleanser available for only $8.00"
i am here to tell you there is a reason why you should be spending the extra few dollars on a salon professional cleanser. By having a salon qualified therapist perform a skin consultation on your skin so you can start off on the correct foot. They will determine your Correct skin type and provide you with recommendation for you to start with which will give you the best results possible.
By starting off on the correct foot you can start small and add to your skin care routine, I always suggest my clients start with a basic cleanser and toner routine and keep adding From there, 9/10 you will come back and wanting to purchase that recommended exfoliant and moisturiser as you have noticed an improvement in your skin from the look to the touch and you will want to continue to see an ongoing improvement. Before you know you will look forward to cleansing,toning,exfoliating,moisturising your skin on a regular bases.

Why do we cleanse? Well, by gently cleansing the skin you are removing any impurities that are sitting on your epidermis layer of the skin (top layer), cleansing will help to remove any makeup,excess oil/sweat, air pollution, dirt and grim that are resting on the surface of your skin.
Do I cleanse once or twice? You should be cleansing your skin twice the first cleanse is to remove your makeup,oil or dirt and your second cleanse will cleanse your skin and pores from any last impurities. We recommend cleaning on your face twice daily, morning and night.
once you have cleansed your skin, you should feel soft and supple, you shouldnt feel the need to quickly apply a moisturiser as its to tight or dry- if your skin is feeling tight or dry immediatly after you have cleansed this is a tell tale sign that the cleanser you are using is incorrect for you skin type. See your therapist for a recommendation on your skin is needing.
Once you have cleansed you will need to apply your toner, your toner will help you balance the PH level in your skin and provide a freshness and comfort level to your skin.
Why can't I use the cleanser from the supermarket..... You can if you want but don't expect the results you are wanting to receive, as the supermarket cleanser contain a stripping ingredient on your skin. This is extremely harsh on your skin making it dry, and stripping of all your important oils that helped to provide hydration and comfort to your skin.
Have we convinced you to swap and experience what an amazing cleanser and toner can do for your skin, but Still unsure of where to start contact us to arrange a free skin consultation to get you started in the right direction.
Till next time
