Reasons for cleansing have become even more important in this century ….prolonged mask wearing, greater pollution and the staying-power of today’s makeup to name but a few Foundation creams, sun protection creams, skin debris, pollutants and toxins need to be emulsified and swept away from the surface of the epidermis by your cleansing milk/cream or balm often needing a double cleanse to be thorough.

Don’t be tempted to use makeup wipes to remove foundation creams… these clever ‘masters of disguise’ formulations are designed to hold and stay on the skin for 24 hrs plus !

Your skin performs its greatest task at night (along with a good night’s rest) of repairing & replenishing itself. Preparing the skin with a good cleansing ritual enables it to receive and fully absorb beneficial ingredients from your night cream & to BREATHE !
