Of course you'll need to remove more in the evening so that's when you should go a little more heavy duty. <br /><br />Simple washing with water is better than not cleaning skin at all but it won't dissolve oils and grime or clear out the bad stuff further down under skin surface. <br /><br />I think it's important to ease skin in, you might feel that it's extremely uncomfortable in the beginning. That's fine, apply some moisturizer until you feel comfortable but don't just use the amount you always use, try to go for less each time. Soon you'll give your skin a workout to recondition and strengthen itself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847724464196264554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997226478121553758.post-73946829263233001842015-03-15T11:04:45.422-07:002015-03-15T11:04:45.422-07:00The eye is kind of a different area in the sense t...The eye is kind of a different area in the sense that the skin around the eye is exceptionally thin and doesn't produce as much oil, so I treat it differently. I don't think it's a bad thing to use an eye cream day and night. I do recommend one of those lighter products that won't pull and tug at your skin when you apply it as some thick moisturizers can be quite heavy. <br /><br />When it comes to products, look at ingredients and how your skin is handling them and less at labels like serums/moisturizers because many companies will have overlap. For example the Tata Harper serums are quite thick and can work as a lotion. In that case, I might just go with the serum and end it there.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847724464196264554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997226478121553758.post-91054668213403860242015-03-15T11:01:16.856-07:002015-03-15T11:01:16.856-07:00I think your morning cleanse is fine.

Then you want to focus on the skin itself with your second cleanser (which can be the one you use in the morning).

Now, I know the Do's and the Don'ts.<br /><br />One question, How about eye creams, should they be applied morning only ? Also, anti-aging serums that have the same consistency of a lotion ? <br /><br />I would be very grateful if you write a post about Exfoliation (acids-based, enzyme-based, mechanical with beads or grains, mechanical with brushes or facecloths, sponges, clay...) What type and frequency would be beneficial to dry, oily, sensitive and balanced skin ?<br /><br />Thank you<br />MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997226478121553758.post-37296455669281324082014-10-27T03:25:16.213-07:002014-10-27T03:25:16.213-07:00Really loved this post, thank you for sharing!

I use a low foaming gentle cleanser in the morning but feel this alone in the evening wouldn't be enough...even though I rarely use make up. Would love a few more thoughts regarding this! - NicOrgaNic Obsessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970791848634026280noreply@blogger.com
