Why I Love The Double Cleanse Method

AĀ cleansing oilĀ removes oil-based matterĀ ā€“ sebum, dirt, pollution, water-resistant makeup, and stubborn sunscreen.

A cleansing oil is an excellent way toĀ cleanse oily skin and control blackheads, breakouts, and other congestion. This is becauseĀ oil attracts oil. So if you have acne do not be afraid to double cleanse it’s key to your skincare routine.Ā 

A very gentle & thorough cleansing day & night isĀ the foundation of effective skincare. Moisturizing serums and creams areĀ absorbed 10xĀ better.Ā

  1. Prepare.Ā Either mix your oils together ahead of time, orĀ you can use just 1 type of oil.
  2. Cleanse.Ā Pour the oil in the palm of your hand and then apply gently all over your dry face. Massage firmly, but gently, always moving upwards. Massage for 2 minutes.
  3. Rinse.Ā  Rinse off your face with warm water & slowly begin to wipe off with a wet warm washcloth. Rinse your washcloth and repeat until youā€™ve wiped all the oil off your skin.

After the oil cleanse you can then go into your facial cleanser of your choice.Ā 

Below oils are great to use as the first step in your double cleanse routine. I personally love theĀ pre cleanse by Dermalogica because it has rice bran in it along with some other amazing ingredients.

No Risk No Gain

 

So much has happened in the past couple of weeks. I quit the spa at the Hilton & have started a new journey at Ulta as a skin therapist doing facials, makeup etc. My manager got me this going away cake **tear** She was the absolute best & not the reason I left Hilton. The reason why I left Hilton was because I felt the need to grow & it was not happening there. Some of the people that worked there were “Debbie downers” & not doing what they love; simply just there for the paycheck. I also feltĀ stagnant at the spa & had a constant thought in my mindĀ to do greater things & meet new peopleĀ ( I also think of it as the Holy Spirit urging me to leave & grow)

Change is uncomfortable & scary but if it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you. And the only way to become who you are truly meant to be is to accept the fact that change isĀ inevitable.

The Hilton opened so many doors of opportunity for me & I will be forever grateful.

I was offered the skin therapist position at Ulta & I took it !

I am excited to be using Dermalogica for my facialsĀ at Ulta & to be working with so many beauty account executives in this hugeĀ world of beauty.
