the cleansing & exfoliation of the skin is as important in winter as it is any other time of year.
The cleansing step is a very underestimated step in skin care.cleansing once or twice a day keeps the skin looking fresh & helps the process of gentle sloughing off of old,dead skin cells.The cleanser needs to be as chemical free as possible,fragrance free &simple.The job of a cleanser is to remove makeup,excess oil or grease,polution,bacteria,to clean the area(the face)just as you would the rest of the body each day & to leave a soft texture & a 'comfortable' feeeling to the face.
Everyone should cleanse their skin,not just those with acne or blackheads or those who wear makeup .After all,we cleanse the rest of our body each day,why not the face also.
Please do not make the mistake of thinking "i dont wear makeup"or "my skin's in good condition so i dont need to cleanse".Even those with great skin still need to assist it to stay that way.If the cleanser contains antioxidants it will also be simultaneously nourishing & fortifying the skin.
