Great power comes with great responsibility. If you feel powerful with make-up and wear it daily, you have a responsibility to your skin to remove your make-up at night. This may sound too dramatic but trust me, the consequences of not removing make-up are much more intense.

So today, I'll share with you the best make-up removers for your skin AND techniques on keeping your skin healthy while enjoying the benefits of make-up.

What makes an incredible cleanser? I hope "something that gives me a squeaky clean feel" didn't come to mind! A good cleanser gets rid of dirt, grime, oil, and make-up while disrupting your skin barrier as little as possible. No dry feeling. No stinging. No tight-skin feel!

Various types of cleansers in relation to skin pH (AKA the magnitude of their effects on your skin barrier)
My top recommendations for cleansers based on skin type (you know you've been waiting for this!)
The science behind different cleanser formulations

63: Cleansing 101: Are You Confident With Your Cleansing Game? Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

On a scale of 1-10, how important is cleansing for you? My beauty, you know I'm a generally flexible person (I recommend both medical-grade and budget-friendly drugstore products, after all!) BUT if your answer is less than 10 then we have a lot to talk about. Remember, I narrowed down your skincare needs to 5 main components and a cleanser is one of them – meaning: it's a non-negotiable.

Many people think cleansing is something they cannot possibly do wrong (wrong!). So today, let's dive into what exactly good cleansing looks like.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

Why cleansing is the foremost step to maximizing your skincare routine
Cleanser myths you should ditch to cleanse better
3 signs you should back away from your current cleanser
