How Best to Cleanse Your Face

-
You should cleanse your face twice a day to help remove dead cells, grime from your environment, all traces of make-up, bacteria and excess sebum. If you cleanse the right day twice per day you are more likely to keep your pores open and healthy. Miss a few sessions and you set yourself up for blocked pores and for some outbreaks of acne.

Many skin experts recommend the use of essential oils in your cleansing agents. Products having essential oils are ideal because they are lipid based, excellent emollients and maximize your defense against environmental attacks upon the skin. Use lotions, gels and creams containing essential oils for the best of a skin care routine.
Apply cleanser and massage into the skin. Remove with warm water. Splash your face with cool water to help open up the pores.
You can make your own essential oils cleansers, consult with a certified aromatherapist for products tailored specific to your needs and even add essential oils to unscented cleansers.
Never use just ordinary soap as this can upset the skins natural acid balance and strip all the oil out setting you up for premature aging and wrinkles.

As with all medicines, keep essential oils out of the reach of children. This may require some creativity as no cap on essential oils are childproof, and if you store them in the refrigerator it becomes even more difficult to keep them out of reach of children.  If you do store your oils in the refrigerator and have children in the household you will need to place a lock on your storage box. Otherwise, if you store your oils just in a cool part of your house, keeping them out of reach of a child's hand may be easier for you. Do not use or recommend use of photosensitizing essential oils prior to going into the sun or a tanning booth. Severe, and I mean very severe burns can occur. Know which oils are photosensitizing in products you prepare for clients and always place a warning label upon them as well as "verbally" instruct the client.
