Oil cleansing saved my life this winter!!
We moved from Cape Town, where we stayed for 9 years, to Klerksdorp this year & Klerksdorp is dry. Generally, my skin is dry in winter but Klerksdorp did a number on it & I had to change my entire skincare routine because what I was using in Cape Town wasn’t working
Yes… you have to change your skincare routine in different regions depending on humidity or dryness.
Oil cleansing is great for all skin types. The reason why oil cleansing is so great is that it dissolves oil. You've got your oil-soluble dirt & your water-soluble dirt on your skin. A gel cleanser cannot remove oil-soluble dirt unless it has oil in its formulation. That's where the oil cleanser comes in
Makeup has an oil base which is why it doesn't come off easily. Some sunscreens also have an oil base so even if you don't wear make-up a lot, you still have to make sure that the sunscreen comes off your skin properly. There's also pollution in the environment. Pollution is micro particles & can enter your pores & cause inflammation. If you live in a heavily polluted area this may be a concern for you
Dermalogica has a widget that can measure how much pollution is in the area you live in. Click here to check how much pollution is in your area
