What is the most important thing for you in a facial cleanser?
For me the answer is a cleanser that is going to address problems I am having with my skin and with Murad’s Essential C Cleanser I get just that.
Murad has a 3 step topical care regimen that when used together is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals to get your skin functioning properly and looking its best. When you begin with the right cleanser that gives your skin a clean slate for step 2 and 3.
I am very happy with my Murad Essential C Cleanser. This cleanser is a burst of citrus freshness from the moment you put it in your hands. I love to breath in deeply when I am washing my face and let the orange aroma lighten my mood. (I have been using aroma therapy for a few months now because of the stress at my old job. I found it helped me in some ways.) This was the comment I heard most during facials, that it smelled so good and refreshing.
What does the company say about Murads Essential C Cleanser?
“Patented antioxidant-rich cleanser using Vitamins A, C and E neutralize and re-hydrate environmentally damaged skin by removing impurities and awakening the senses with a burst of citrus.” That is how Murad explains it. Pretty accurate if you ask me. I have some hyper-pigmentation on my jawline that I really want to treat and repair.
To use: I cleanse my face in the morning twice using half a pump per cleanse. Always make sure you do the neck pretty far back and the chest. You want to take a small amount and massage that over a moist face, neck and chest then rinse it with warm water and repeat then pat dry. (I buy the economy size bottle pictured up on the right. It is a much better deal)
What I love to do at night is use the Skin City Overnight Detox Moisturizer after I cleanse. Your face is so amazingly moisturized and soft. But that is another post!
I don’t want to spend all that money and not like it!
Well then lets talk about the kits. I loved selling the starter kits when I was working in the clinic. It gives you the chance to try a few different products in one line. I think it is important to use whatever line suits your specific skincare concerns and if you are unsure about what to use, go to a clinic that sells it and ask them. You could get a facial, that allows the professional to get a good look at your skin and tell you exactly what you need to get your skin functioning properly.
Remember this may not be the same as what you were thinking. You may think you need to address wrinkles around your eyes where your skin care professional may think that addressing the “dark spots” is a more immediate concern. Dark spots are damaged skin and when you address this issue you will be helping the fine lines and wrinkles at the same time.
