Get A Glowing Complexion!
Whether you’re a beauty minimalist – sporting sunscreen and a touch of lip gloss, or a beauty diva honing her contouring and winged liner skills – a twice-daily cleanse is key to fresh, healthy-looking skin. It’s so important to remove makeup, dirt, and pollutants that are accumulating on your skin during the day. Even if you don’t wear makeup regularly, it’s still important to make sure you’re cleansing at bedtime. And it’s equally important to do it right. I’m a fan of the double-cleanse method that first lifts the dirt and grime and then washes them away. However, a double-cleanse isn’t necessarily needed both morning and night. A mild cleanser or rinse is plenty in the morning. But if you’ve never tried a double-cleanse or simply need a refresher, here’s how to cleanse your skin the right way.

I just use plain ole’ Neutrogena for cleansing and an astrigent to remove dirt and oil. I am just a simple girl. lol
Hi Shelia! It’s great you have products you love that work for you. That’s the important thing!

Great post. Thank you!
I would also love to know the lipstick that Erin is wearing in the photo used in the email promoting this blog post. It is beautiful! ??
I just realized this “removing makeup and cleansing are not the same thing” over the past few days. I bought a CeraVE hydrating cleanser and washed my face with it like I normally would and I still had makeup and mascara all over my face. I used some micellar water to remove the makeup and decided the hydrating cleanser was a bad purchase — but I was just using it wrong! Thanks so much for sharing this info. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for sharing your story, Linda! I think there are a lot of us not quite doing it right. Hopefully this will help.. Erin xo
HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS. I had awful hormonal acne from starting the pill, and even worse when I got off it. Nothing seemed to work, from all natural face washes/moisturizers, topical acne ointments, nothing… UNTIL I TRIED RAW HONEY AS A CLEANSER!! People have said that they’ve broken out after trying it, but it was the complete opposite for me because my existing blemishes diminished over night!! My face looks beautiful, with acne scarring here and there, and I’m so happy I tried this. For those wondering, I use Whole Foods regular raw honey and it works great.
What an interesting idea! Thank you for sharing… Erin xo
My daughter surprised me with the Colleen Rothschild trial kit for Christmas. I wasn’t sure if a super hydrating regimen would work with my oily 58 yo skin, but I love it. Maybe I will try this line when I use it up. Thanks for sharing these great skin care product lines.
I keep alternating between the two and I LOVE both!! The cleansing water and oil are absolute heaven! If you are already used to a balm, you’ll love the oil… Erin xo
I’ve used L’OCCITANE for Body and another brand for my Face regimen but I would definitely try this out. You look amazing even without a stitch of make-up on!
That’s SO sweet…thank you so much! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by my site! Erin xo
Love this post, the pictures, everything! Once I use up the face wash I have now I’m seriously thinking about switching to this system! Sounds wonderfully thought through.
The cleansing water and oil are HEAVEN!
You will love them… thanks for the sweet words. I appreciate your support… Erin xo
