Do I have to use a cleanser?

The answer is simply, “Yes.” Everyone needs to use one cleanser or another. Cleansing improves the health, well-being, and hygiene of your skin. That’s what we want, right?



If the skin is not cleansed, sweat, pollutants, debris, oil and bacteria builds up. Ugh! When you cleanse, you’re eliminating excess toxins which should decrease how quickly microorganisms grow which will reduce the possibility for infection. Yay!



Water alone only removes a little more than 60% of the dirt and oil on the skin. That’s not nearly a clean face. Water does not remove make-up. See, you need that cleanser.



Cleansers are formulated to remove all that additional dirt, oil, bacteria, make-up and dead skin cells.



If you have sensitive skin, wear make-up, or if you use topical creams, you simply must use a cleanser.



Here’s a compromise. We know that a quality skin care routine has four steps: Cleanse, Exfoliate, Moisturize, Protect. If you're too busy for one more step in your skin care routine, buy a cleanser that does more than just cleanse! Use the beauty of science.



My family (Mother plus her four daughters) uses Mary Kay’s Timewise 3-In-1 Cleanser.
Why? First, of all we don’t have much time, two of us are Mothers, so this product combines 3 beauty do’s into one. The 3-In-1 Cleanser is created to save time by combining cleansing, exfolitating, and freshening of the skin.



Secondly, my sisters and I are all over 29, so anti-aging products are at the top of our list. This cleanser contains age-fighting ingredients. Details in another article.


Finally, we simply agree with the thousands of Essence magazine readers who voted this product Reader’s Choice Beauty Award. Women of color-it works on our skin!
