Beautiful skin starts with clean skin
Have you ever wondered why your skin can often feel dry, tight, look red, irritated and still not clean? This can often be the case for clients who have not used the correct cleanser and more often the correct cleansing method…..I know, how hard can it be?
Benefits of cleansing correctly:
Skin can breathe – remember it’s an organ and has amazing functions to perform. Skin can absorb your precious serum and/or moisturiser properly.
Skin can maintain the barrier function ( natural protective barrier ) and pH ( acid mantle for correct functioning ) if cleansing is gentle and correctly performed.
Skin will age less, eg. premature aging can occur due to skin being unbalanced, not absorbing active ingredients and become dull and dry and red if cleansing is too rough or incorrect.
Skin that is hydrated is healthier, plumper and more youthful…..dehydrated skin can turn into prematurely aged skin eg dehydration lines can turn into wrinkles.
