Every skin care beginners first question: is an oil cleanser even necessary? The answer is, absolutely!! Even if you don’t wear makeup, oil-based cleansers remove any SPF residue and daily pollutants. If you have an oily skin type, skin is more likely to attract surface debris and bacteria, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Oil cleansing gently lifts and breaks down excess oil and surface debris to give oily skin a more thorough and gentle cleansing option. Those with dry skin or sensitive skin have an impaired moisture barrier that can bolster by using an oil cleanser before moving on to exfoliation and a gentle cleanser. As chemistry tells us, “like attracts like,” so oil-based cleansers can deconstruct oil-soluble substances like makeup, environmental pollutants, excess sebum (oil), and residual product buildup for a deeper clean than only using your regular cleanser alone. The best way to wash your face is by using an oil-based cleanser to break down the day and follow with a cleanser according to your skin type. #dermalogica #skincareroutine #makeupremoval
