What to look for in a Cleanser

Cleansers are determined by our skin type. Last week the homework was to look at your skin and determine your specific skin type. Now we can look at the type of cleanser that will be best for you.

* Normal to Dry Skin usually needs a cream-based cleanser containing oil to help restore and protect the skin. You also need some antioxidants to help boost cellular turnover, and boost hydration levels.

* Normal and Combination Skin works well with foaming cleansers which are designed to maintain balance in the skin.

* Normal to Oily Skin needs a cleanser infused with charcoal and kaolin clay to help absorb environmental toxins.This helps remove impurities and helps prevent clogged pores.

* Acne and Aging Skin can benefit from a cleanser containing a small amount of glycolic acid. This helps refine and renew skin, lessen the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars, and brighten and invigorate the skin.

Tune in next Blog, we will talk about Toners. When and why do we need them.

Here are some of my favorite cleansers from Skin Script skincare.
Pomegranate Antioxidant Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin
Green Tea Citrus Cleanser for Normal to Combination Skin
Charcoal Clay Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
Glycolic Cleanser for Acne and Aging Skin (good for men and teens)

Why are these products called "Rare"?

When talking to our guest about Hale & Hush skin care products, we sometimes get this question: "Why are the Rare Mandelic, Rare Retinol, and Race C Serum called "Rare"? Lets see if this explanation helps. All three are specially made for sensitive skin. The type of vitamin C used is unique as it also helps with the appearance of pore size. The rare retinal serum uses retinaldehyde which works better on sensitive skin than the other forms of vitamin A, and also helps with glycation. (Glycation is a major cause of cellular and molecular damage that occurs with aging. It is a chemical process where a sugar molecule attaches to a protein or lipid. This contributes to wrinkles, discoloration, and loss of firmness). The mandelic used is 8% mandelic with a mixture of hyaluronic, vitamin C, enzymes and lactic to not cause any irritation on sensitive skin like other mandelic serums may cause. Professional Skin Care Academy carries a complete line of the Hale & Hush pr...
