Washing your face without proper cleansing is like mopping your floor without rinsing the mop.  You are just pushing the dirt around; it may look better, but is it really clean?  No routine will work if you don’t cleanse properly. I hesitate to say, “routine” as it has an image of 9 products in front of you. You will find that our system is very different, cleanse, moisturize and repeat–simple. Cleansing, to produce fabulous skin, removes the flaky skin, the oils and bacteria from touching your face after who knows what you touched and then placed on your chin. Then there’s whatever floated through the air, are you grossed out yet? As you get hot from sweat, hormones or getting kids bathed, your pours open up. As you cool down they shut, like little doors, closing in whatever they have been exposed to. When you have a makeover with me, I explain proper cleansing so that whatever is put on after is not “cover up” but rather protection for your skin.  No makeup will look fabulous over a dirty palette.
