Cleanser Tip 3: Boost Your Cleansing Power

So, you have found the perfect staple cleanser that doesn’t strip or irritate your

skin, but you are just not really confident that you’re cleansing thoroughly

enough. What can you do to boost cleansing power without irritating skin?

1. Consider double cleansing: Double cleansing is the method where you start

with an oil cleanser, then finish with a gentle cream or gel cleanser. The oil

is a cleanser that helps remove all your dirt, grime, and even makeup. The

staple cleanser then helps take off any excess grease from the oil cleanser.

2. Consider a cleansing device: Cleansing brushes are great additions to your

routine that can help your gentle cleanser go further. Sonic brushes are one

of the most rigorously tested and validated options you can get—but also

the priciest. There are cheaper bristled alternatives, silicone brushes, and

nonbattery options as well. Just remember, gentle bristles are the way to go!

CLARISONIC CLEANSING

There are a lot of crazy claims out there. Most of you probably already raise your eyebrows

at words like “542% more radiant!” or “Turn back time!” But once in a while, there are

surprising details and interesting studies behind otherwise nutty-sounding claims.

Clarisonic’s team has actually done quite a few interesting studies around their brushes. In

one, testers applied concentrated amounts of dirt and grime to their face, then compared

cleansing efficiency with and without the brush. This study validated that cleansing is much

more thorough with a sonic brush. Now, where did that Clarisonic charger go . . .
