Two weeks ago, I joined the realm of Double Cleansing. Deszell has been encouraging me to do a new cleansing routine for months ago because she knows I have been struggling with acne. I finally decided to do this routine because the doctor’s prescription no longer worked, prescription creams just turn my combination skin very very dry (even flaky).
Then I tried another product but still used the old routine, and my skin was came nowhere close to improving. I wore foundation or BB Cream everyday, so there is a huge possibility my skin was not making any progress because I didn’t use the right cleansing method. If I didn’t cleanse properly, dirt and excess product buildup on my face could have exacerbated my acne. So I thought it was time to try to something new by doing something called double cleansing.
Let me give a comparison between my old cleansing routine and my new double cleansing routine.
My old night cleansing routine consisted of a sheet of makeup wipe, cleansing gel, toner, and moisturizer. Now, the double cleansing routine requires more than that, meaning that I have to wash my face more than once because. The fact is, it just isn’t enough to cleanse with one gel. The big difference I found with the double cleansing is my makeup removal method: first I use a cleansing cream, and only after that do I wash my free-makeup face with a washing cream. My double cleansing method includes cleansing cream, washing cream, massage cream, followed by lotion, milk lotion, and cream.
I first thought that this double cleansing method was crazy cumbersome, requiring too many steps and products. But after some thought, I realize that every day I put on foundation, powder, and blush on my face, so it makes sense to add more steps to completely remove the makeup and dirt from my face. I can’t expect one cleansing gel to do multiple jobs, right?
I’ve been giving Lisciare products for the past couple weeks, and I’ve been loving it. They have all components that I need to complete the double cleansing routine. I’ve done my “research” and have found only read good reviews about them. At FDHQ, some of the ladies are big fans of Menard, and thanks to them, I wanted to try the products even more. Healthy skin is the goal, and I bet most of us want that as well. So even if the products aren’t cheap for me,, I think about what will work for my acne-prone skin in the long run. With that being said, I can’t just grab any random product and apply it to my face. I need great products with great quality.
