How to Get Your Daily Cleansing Ritual Right

Cleansing in the morning and at night is the basis of a successful skincare routine. Using warm (not hot) water gently opens the pores and invites your skin to breathe freely. A soft freshly-washed towel is an important tool. We are NOT talking about scrubbing here. We are talking about cleansing. We are thinking of the words “gentle” and “effective” and cleansing twice a day is enough. Even in a polluted environment, washing more than twice can strip moisture off the skin surface. As we look at cleansing products, note that promoting moisture retention is a vital key to any face-saving routine.  

For especially oily skin, the Deep Clean, Deep Moist Series offers several choices to employ in your custom-made double cleansing routine. For normal skin, the Be Clean, Be Moist pair of cleansing water and cleansing gel are recommended.

“Deep Clean, Deep Moist”

CLEASING OIL; DEEP CLEAN, DEEP MOIST is the first step in an effective daily routine. The cleansing oil removes a day’s worth of makeup, and also removes a day’s worth of modern-life pollutants. DEEP CLEAN. In the process, the oil seeps deep into skin, softening the pores leaves skin refreshingly clean and silky smooth without heavy residue.” DEEP MOIST.

In Korea (home of Huxley) “Double Cleansing” is a beauty trend with proven results. Cleansing Oil; Deep Clean, Deep Moist is great as a first step. Dissolving impurities and breaking down the left-overs of sunscreen and makeup, it readies the face for the second step - deep cleansing. This step finds any impurities that the first step didn’t and flushes them away leaving a fresh palate for the day or a supple, restful feeling at night. 

For that second step, CLEANSING FOAM; DEEP CLEAN, DEEP MOIST is a natural choice. As you might guess from the name, this foam wash is rich and moist. One can almost feel it removing dirt and other impurities from deep below the epidermis replenishing moisture for a deep clean. Dirt goes away. Moisture stays.
