What makes an incredible cleanser? I hope “something that gives me a squeaky clean feel” didn’t come to mind! A good cleanser gets rid of dirt, grime, oil, and make-up while disrupting your skin barrier as little as possible. No dry feeling. No stinging. No tight-skin feel!

So today, I’ll discuss with you the science behind modern cleanser technology and which cleanser products nailed down the sweet spot between cleansing and disrupting the skin barrier.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Various types of cleansers in relation to skin pH (AKA the magnitude of their effects on your skin barrier)
• My top recommendations for cleansers based on skin type (you know you’ve been waiting for this!)
• The science behind different cleanser formulations
