What most people tend to underestimate in their skin care routine is the very first and most crucial step – CLEANSING.
A good cleansing routine helps to prep your skin so it can absorb the glorious actives from your skin care products later on.
Without proper cleansing, clogged pores and breakouts will return to haunt no matter how promising your serums may be.
In other words, washing your face thoroughly equates to half the battle won!
Remember these 3 steps and arm yourself with our cleansing trio to achieve skin victory.
Step 1: Remove
The first step of any night routine starts with removing your makeup. Do not avoid this step even if you usually don light makeup or only use a sunscreen. Sunscreen needs to be properly removed from your skin to avoid clogging pores.
Cleansing Cream A1
Strong makeup removers can be drying to the skin. For dry and sensitive skin, DR’s Secret Cleansing Cream A1 is your perfect go-to with its ultra-nourishing formula.
Cleansing Cream A1 gently removes makeup and impurities while protecting the skin’s natural oil and hydrating the skin at the same time.
Noteworthy properties:
- Calming
- Hydrating
- Antioxidant-rich for added skin protection
Texture of A1: smooth milky texture that feels light and silky on the skin.
As you massage A1 into your skin, you may notice the cream texture becoming more watery as it helps to melt makeup away.
Directions:
- Dispense a generous amount for the whole face.
- Massage over the whole face in light gentle circular strokes.
- Use a tissue or cotton pad to remove lightly or rinse with water if you are only removing sunscreen.
Step 2: Cleanse
Washing your face with a cleanser helps to remove any remaining residue in your skin, freshening up your pores to absorb the next product in your routine.
