Some recommendations come with more feedback than others, and I’m thrilled to see that you guys really liked this one. I’ve mentioned DHC Deep Cleansing Oil in the past when I did a deep-dive into how to properly clean your face in this post (definitely read if you haven’t!). But, after sharing it again in my Insta stories last week, I was so happy to hear that MANY of you have fallen in love with it too, since ordering it after reading my post. I’ve found it to be an essential part of my two-step cleansing routine, and apparently I’m not the only one. The most common messages I’m receiving are (1) that you expected your skin to feel greasy or oily afterwards, but instead your skin has never felt cleaner or more hydrated; (2) you expected your skin to produce more oil afterwards throughout the day, when in fact you experienced less shiny/oiliness after using this product; and (3) you’ve never felt so deceived by all of the face wash companies convincing you for years that you had to strip your face with harsh products to really get it “clean.” Bottom line, if you haven’t tried this stuff, run, don’t walk. And if you have, stock up on more here.
The Best Face Cleanser
For most of my life, I’ve washed my face much like you see it done in a television commercial: splash with water, rub some cleanser all over the place (often a foaming cleanser… shudder), rinse it all off, and dry with a towel. Pretty standard, right? Well, yes. It’s standard. But, sadly, it’s not at all correct.
In continuation of my skincare series, today I’m sharing the results of my research and testing on the optimal way to clean your face. After reading up, interviewing dermatologists and testing on my own face for many months, I’ve noticed a dramatic difference in my skin. All it took was some slight tweaks to both the products I use and the methods I employ.
