Cheat Sheet - Cleansing
Most brands in the industry provide quick 'bullet point' references for use by counter staff/telephone customer services peeps to help them quickly highlight key points that are applicable to that customer or their needs.
I started blogging because of the bad cleansing advice that was prevalent on social media - these Cheat Sheets are my attempt at redressing the balance!
So without further ado:
1.
Cleanse your face every night.
Without fail. Non-negotiable. You have enough time.
2.
Cleanse your face in the
morning - a splash of water will not cut it. You can use a teeny amount of
cleanser - but use it...
3.
Apply your cleanser to DRY
skin. Don't dampen the skin first. I don't care what it says on the pot. Add
water afterwards to loosen if not using an oil-based cleanser. (When was the
last time you went for a facial and the therapist wet your face before she
cleansed?)
4.
As a rule - stay clear of
'foaming' on the bottle (there is the odd exception, but they
are few and far between) - to get foam you need to use a surfactant - and a
surfactant turns your skin alkaline. Alkaline skin is like a petri dish for
bacteria. The irony being that so many cleansers pushed on to acne/combination
skins are foaming. Naughty
companies should know better.
5.
If you are wearing makeup with
sunscreen in it or just good old sunscreen you need to double cleanse. If you aren't, one cleanse is
sufficient.
6.
Use a face flannel and water
to remove. Unless you are ALLERGIC TO WATER (which I have heard before) there is
no need to cotton/tissue off. This is 2011 not a Doris Day film. Wash your face
people. Imagine only ever using tissue or cotton on your bum. Exactly.
7.
Use fresh running water from
the tap - do not fill the bowl and splash off. Splash all that dirt back on to
you face? That's just nasty.
8.
Personally, I have neither the
time nor patience for eye make-up remover pre-cleansing. The exception to this
is waterproof mascara - it's waterproof, use the correct, dedicated remover to
get rid of it.
Otherwise, use a cleanser that removes eye makeup and apply the cleanser to the eyes first. You'll get most of the gunk off at the beginning and your second cleanse will clear the rest up.

9.
Use hand-hot water and ring
the flannel out - if it's the right temperature for your fingertips it will be
fine for your face.
10.
Use a fresh flannel every day.
Don't be cheap. Or gross. Primark. £2 for 4. Buy 2 packs and you're good for a
week and a spare....You don't have to use muslins or a special cloth. Trust me.
I've done treatments with the lot and the thing we always went back to? Plain white facecloths. HOT, plain,
white facecloths. Lovely.
