Ask any skincare expert out there, and they will agree that cleansing is the single most important part of any skincare routine. Even if you don’t find the time to do anything else, washing your skin should never be skipped. “Cleansing should be a part of both your morning and evening skincare routine,” says Rayhaneh Zahedi, a dermatology specialty doctor at Quality Health Care Ltd. “It removes impurities, pollution and sebum, creating the perfect canvas for serum application and absorption,” she adds.
The good news is your cleansing routine doesn’t have to be complicated. “I have always been an advocate of the less-is-more approach. You just need to find the products which work for you,” says Alexis Granite, CeraVe consultant dermatologist.
To create a blank canvas, keep skin irritation to a minimum and help work out what products you might need next, start with a cream or creamy-gel cleanser. This will provide the necessary means to effectively cleanse your face without causing upset.
