The Right Way To Cleanse The Face

Today I would like to talk about cleansers. Our clinic recommends Elta face wash or Cetaphil because they are very gentle and don't dry out the skin. Avoid bar soaps they do dry out the skin and should only be used from the neck down. A creamy cleanser is best if you have dry skin or a cleanser without oil if you have oily skin. We recommend washing the face only twice a day.
Once in the morning and once at night. The best way to wash your face is to use warm water with a small amount of cleanser and rinse with cool water. Never wash your face with hot or cold water because it can cause broken capillaries. Did you know that our skin is the bodies largest organ and usually weighs 8-9 pounds. Did you know that the skin can be attacked by up to 200 free radicals every hour! The skin cells are replaced constantly and by the time they get to the surface layers they are already dead. With our perscripton products cell turnover can be increased even faster to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

At Cosmetic Procedures Clinic a lot of women tell us no one has ever told them how to cleanse their face. It sounds simple enough but there really is a right and a wrong way.
