Is it Vital to “Precleanse” with Make-up Remover?

Thanks as all the time for generously sharing your unbiased and smart skincare and well being recommendation! Do you “pre-cleanse” with a product to take away make-up, sunscreen and so forth earlier than your common cleanser or do you simply depend on one cleanser to do all of it? Many thanks!

You’re welcome. And due to all of you for making this weblog attainable. Our store, which I do know lots of you go to, permits us to maintain posting. And likewise… thanks to all of you for being affected person for the final 3-4 months whereas we straightened out provide chain issues. We should always have all of the Colorescience merchandise that all of us love a lot again in inventory quickly. We’re nonetheless engaged on Dermaquest and just about all of the MadisonMD Skincare merchandise might be again this week or subsequent. 🙂

In your query… I feel this actually is dependent upon how a lot make-up you put on and your pores and skin texture. Personally, I exploit the MadisonMD Energetic Cleanser which lathers nicely and, with the brand new pump, dispenses a beneficiant quantity. I additionally love the Eminence Lemon Cleanser (natural) which is beautiful, and creamier, however lathers much less.

Keep in mind that in an effort to preserve the glands on the sides of the eyelid wholesome and to assist forestall dry eyes sooner or later, preserve these ducts cleaned out not less than as soon as a day! You may also use child shampoo to softly clear them out with a Q-tip. Additionally, take your fish oil complement every day. I just like the Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil in capsules. See your eye physician should you’re having issues with dry eyes.

Listed below are just a few completely different situations:

1.  You put on little or no make-up and a light-weight layer of sunscreen. On this case, you don’t want a pre-cleanser and a mild cleanser, except you’re very oily. All the time use heat to sizzling water, not chilly, then completely rinse. The heat from the water helps to open up the pores. Once I was in my 20s, I washed solely with water for about 5 years and since I didn’t use a lot make-up or sunscreen at the moment (gasp!), it labored fantastic.
2. You put on a reasonable quantity of make-up, together with eye make-up; that’s onerous to take away. I put myself on this class and I do fantastic with simply the Madison MD Skincare Energetic Cleanser. Simply you’ll want to shut your eyes tightly and lather the attention space. Rinse nicely! When you nonetheless have some make-up caught, you should utilize your eye cream or child shampoo to softly take away with a Q-tip.
3. You like make-up and put on it every day, and experiment with completely different manufacturers. On this case, you might want a particular eye make-up remover. Attempt to discover one as organic-y as attainable with out a ton of chemical compounds. Then do your common cleanse after to take away the remover. 🙂

Hope this helps,
