I have so many clients that are doing the double cleanse ALL WRONG!! Let\’s review so that your skin gets the benefit of a double cleanse starting with an oil cleanser. The point of the oil cleanser is to apply the oil directly to the skin WITHOUT WATER. This is key here. The oil will grab and breakdown makeup, environmental pollutants, and stubborn sunblocks. If your skin or hands are wet, the chemistry of the oil is then emulsion therefore loosing its benefits as an OIL CLEANSE. After massaging the oil around and around to break these layers down, then you add some water in order to activate the emulsification process which then draws these impurities away from the skin.

One thing I always get asked in the treatment room is which order should I be applying my products? First consider, am I rinsing this off or leaving this on? Once you have the two separated look at what you are rinsing off. Precleansing oil or balm, Cleanser, Exfoliant, Mask. Then Consider What you are leaving on and also which time of day is it, morning or evening? So Morning is Cleanse, Hydrate from thinnest to thickest consistency (watery, gel, oil), then moisturize for eye and then for face and/ or SPF, Primer, Makeup foundation and/ or Makeup Powder. Then Evening would look like: Precleanse oil or balm, Cleanser, Exfoliant (2-3 times weekly unless recommended otherwise), Mask (1-4 times[Read more]
Precleansing,.. It is an effective step in my skin care routine. Although the idea of spreading oil on my already oily and acneic skin took some getting used to, I have to say the science backs up the method. Essentially here is how it works:

2. Great to prep skin for cleanser
3. Helps breakdown makeup, skincare and environmental pollutants from the day.

I totally agree with you on the getting used to oils for oily skin. Growing up I was always stripping my skin of oils which later I found out made my face produce even more oils to make up for the fact that I had stripped it all. I always used Raw Shea butter all over my body especially after having kids (helps with softening stretch marks) one day I put the remains from my hands on my face and went to bed. When I woke up my face was glowing, and bright. I discovered this by mistake and now I don’t fear using creams or oils on my face. I definitely do light acid peels though to help with some scarring. I will definitely check out your favorites and see how they can work for me. T…[Read more]
