Because I believe that overall healthy skin is essential for a flawless makeup application I speak/write a lot about skin care. I already shared my favorite products to ensure clean skin after removing my makeup. Now I’m gonna share my favorite products for daily cleansing (when not wearing makeup). My product list for this task is very simple:
1. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for all skin types. Although I’m an oily girl I use this formula because my prescription creams and this brutal Chicago weather dry my skin out terribly. Also, it is possible to over stimulate the skin by using too many active products which can result in more oil and acne.
2. Makeup Artist’s Choice Rosewater as a moisturizing toner before using my topical acne prescription. (Not shown here because it was in last week’s post)
Bonus: I always use one half of a white paper towel to gently dry my face instead of a wash cloth.
I use these products twice daily. If I wear makeup, I switch to the product list previously posted for my night time cleanse.
