To celebrate the launch of facials & skin care into my business I thought I would create a blog series about the fundamental steps in an at home skin care regime with product recommendations.
First step in a routine is CLEASNSING. So today I am sharing my favourite, tried and tested cleansers which are easily available and I've included a variety of products to address different skin concerns and conditions.
Cerave Hydtrating Cleanser - https://amzn.to/3SFG3iw Wonderfully hydrating. I buy it time and time again. Use for AM cleanse &/or 2nd PM cleanse
Aveeno Calm + Restore - https://amzn.to/3UDsoLn Great for soothing red, irritated or sensitive skin. Very gentle and hydrating. Use for AM cleanse &/or 2nd PM cleanse
Byoma Jelly Cleanser - https://amzn.to/3wgvkDv Super efficient at cleansing makeup and SPF. Hydrating with lots of great skin care ingredients. I prefer this one for a 2nd PM cleanse but could be used AM too!
Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser - Superdrug.com If you love Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser I think you will love this even more as it's an amazing dupe and it's only £8 plus it usually on BOGOF. Absolute bargain. Use as a 2nd cleanse.
Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm - https://amzn.to/3UDzlfr Fantastic oil based cleanser. Use for 1st PM cleanse. The oat is soothing and calming but it's still a powerhouse makeup and SPF remover.
Superfacialist Vit C Oil - https://amzn.to/3wrKk1f If you prefer an oil to a balm, this is for you. Use for 1st PM cleanse.
Cerave SA Smooth Cleanser - https://amzn.to/4bIDLri Oily T zone? Prone to breakouts or congested skin. This cleanser will be great for your skin as it contains salicylic acid which works to clear out blocked pores. Use as needed either as AM cleanse or 2nd PM cleanse.
E.L.F Holy Hydration Balm - https://amzn.to/4bFqznb This is a very good budget friendly balm. Feels quite solid but emulsifies beautifully and leaves skin soft and clean. Use as 1st PM cleanse
Suskin Cream Cleanser - https://amzn.to/3OKReoK Perfect for sensitive, irritated or barrier damaged skin. Soothing and gentle 2nd PM cleanse.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm - https://amzn.to/3wulCNK I would use this all the time if we budget allowed. I love everything about it. Amazing 1st PM cleanse, plus you can use it as a lovely hydrating, plumping face mask.
Inkey List Fulvic Acid Cleanser - https://amzn.to/48kqNx5 Gentle, soothing and brightening, it will provide a very gentle exfoliation for the skin but in no way is it abrasive. Use a AM cleanse when skin is in need of a pick me up but mainly I recommend as a 2nd PM cleanse.
Simple Cleansing Routine:
MORNING:
You just need one cleansing product to clean your face and prepare your skin for your morning routine (I don't want to gross you out but we all sweat in the night so you really want to clean that off your face in the morning).
EVENING:
This is when I recommend double cleansing.
The first cleanse will break down makeup, SPF and pollutants and the second cleanse will clean the skin and prepare it for your evening skincare routine. I use a micro-fibre face cloth or flannel with cleansers to get a really thorough cleanse.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you're not sure what cleanser is right for you feel free to get in touch directly and I'm always happy to recommend more targeted or specific products to tackle skin concerns!
Thanks so much for reading and hope to see you all soon.
