When I was young, I wanted my cleanser to literally strip all the oils from my face. I used harsh cleansers to make sure my face lacked any trace of oil that could give me a break out. Times have changed…and so has my skin. My skincare routine had to change, too!
Today, now in my forties, my skin is making WAY less oil than it used to. So when cleansing, my main goal is to get the makeup, sweat and everyday grime off my face WITHOUT taking every bit of moisture out of it as well.
I need to keep some of that oil to plump up wrinkles and make my skin glow with health.
