YOUR SAY: Do you use a different cleanser in morning and night? Do you have to?

May 18, 2020 Paris B 4 Comments

One of the more interesting questions I get about skincare routines is whether you need to use different products for day and night.

It most certainly does look that way, when you read most people’s skincare routines. Day and night time routines often differ, and their choice of products too.

I discussed this a little while ago, if you’d like to read it 😉

But what about cleansers? Couldn’t we just use the same one both in the morning and night? After all, they serve the same function don’t they? Or perhaps, we should use different ones that have different textures?

What do you do? Do you have just one cleanser for day and night or do you use different ones? 😀

Your Say: What’s your favourite type of facial cleanser?

Foaming. Mousse. Cream. Oil. Balm. Water. Jelly. Milk. Did I miss any?

The variety available these days is mind-boggling!

But, I have to know. What’s your favourite type of cleanser?

When I was first introduced to using proper skincare by my Mom, I was given a tube of foaming cleanser. Back in the day, everyone used foaming cleanser. Come to think of it, these days, everyone will use or will have used a foaming cleanser at some point. I challenge you to tell me otherwise! 😀

As I left home and started buying my own skincare, I stuck with the tried and true. Hello. Foaming cleansers were awesome! That squeaky clean feeling of skin after a long grimy day at college. Ahh….

These days, I run screaming at the sight of a tube of foaming cleanser LOL! 😀 In fact, I’d suggest you do too 😛

Cleansing and Calming My Skin With Cleansing Cream/Milk – A recent discovery

February 28, 2013 Paris B 64 Comments

I seem to be on a bit of a skincare revamp in recent times. My skin decided to throw a major hissy fit in January where everything I used to do and use (I didn’t change any part of my regular skincare routine) no longer worked and I was breaking out like I was a teen again, yet experiencing serious dry skin. I knew I had to do something. I told you earlier about my toner + cotton pad rediscovery that helped me. Now, here’s something else I changed. I haven’t been using cleansing oils for over a month.

Not using cleansing oils to remove my makeup and as part of a double cleansing routine is something really big for me. I’m such a cleansing oil evangelist and I’ve used so many. It has been such a part of my skincare routine for so many years that it was almost impossible for me to just abandon it. But I did. Instead, I turned to using cream/milk cleansers.

As luck would have it, I didn’t own any, except 2. The last time I used a cream cleanser, it was the Neutrogena one. Worked a treat but I didn’t replenish because… you guessed it; I went back to my oil cleansers. However, after rooting around, I discovered 2 – Swissline Water Shock Comforting Emulsion Cleanser and Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Hydrating Cleansing Milk.

I have been using them both this past month and I have to say that its different. My skin actually stopped feeling so dry and tight and it really seemed to help my skin feel more comfortable. Naturally, its also made me curious about trying other cream or milk cleansers 😀 Do you use any? Interestingly enough, both the cream/milk cleansers I’ve been using come in 2 different price categories 🙂
