Cleansing is probably one of the most important steps you can incorporate into your daily routine for healthy skin. But picking the right products can be the hardest job especially when there are so many different brands to choose from. Lately I have been reading that in order to really clean your skin 2 products are necessary instead of one. One to remove the makeup and the other one to clean the skin, so I decided to give it a try. For me it makes sense since I do wear a good amount of makeup on a daily basis and there are many times I do not feel my skin is really clean from just one cleanser. But if you are someone that does not wear makeup on a regular basis one should be enough.
Always on the look out to try new products I decided to check out Aurelia Miracle Cleanser from Shen in Brooklyn New York and mix it with one of my favorite brands,SkinCeauticals’ Clarifying Cleanser.
The result has been great after only two weeks. Aurelia is new to me and I am loving it. It is a probiatic line that protects the skin from aging. The cleanser’s creamy texture removes my makeup without damaging the skin. It almost feels like you are moisturizing and cleaning your skin at the same time. When you apply the cleanser my suggestion is to massage it in circular motions around the face and on the neck. As you are cleaning your face you start to feel a sense of calm due to the aromatic fragrance from the blend of Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Rosemary and Bergamot. The product comes with a antibacterial bamboo muslin cloth used to remove the cleanser along with dead skin cells. They recommend using the cloth 2 times and then washing it. You can purchase a set of the bamboo cloths on their site and the cloths can be washed.
Once I have used my Aurelia I move on to SkinCeuticals. This is a brand that I have always loved. My very good friend introduced me to this line over ten years ago and I liked it from the beginning. It is also very popular among the medical field and is none to have one of the highest forms of retinol in some of the products which is very popular. The Clarifying Cleanser contains microbeads to remove dead skin and has a combination of glycol, mandolin and salicylic acid that unclogs your pores. I like the feeling of a scrub but some of them can be too much and you feel like you are stripping your skin of oils which can speed up the aging process. This product has the perfect combination for my skin of a scrub and cleanser.
So far so good with my new routine but as you read this remember what works for me may not be good for your skin. When looking for the right product remember to take into consideration your skin, climate, schedule and always remember to test on your skin first. Samples are a great way to see if you really like something before you invest in it.
Enjoy!
