Healthy, glowing skin begins with cleansing. It requires a commitment to the right products, home care protocols, and treatments to stay that way. Cleansing won’t dry the skin out or make the skin too sensitive or irritated if you use the correct product. Cleanse twice a day, every day.

Cleansing removes surface dirt, makeup, and impurities. It also removes bacteria, damaged skin cells, excess oils, debris and more. Skipping your nightly cleansing routine means you go into the night, when your skin repairs itself, with the day’s leftover products, makeup, sunscreen, environmental debris, oils and sweat sitting there all night. It can lead to larger pore size, breakouts, congestion, irritation, rough texture, and skin that is just dull.

Cleansing also promotes clear, bright, smooth, and hydrated skin. With impurities cleansed away, your skin is primed for additional products including your serums and moisturizers.

These products have a function in the skin and they can’t do their job if the skin’s canvas isn’t prepped and ready. Cleansing prepares the skin for your serums. It is so important that serums, the real workhorses of skin care products, are able to penetrate the skin to get down to the business of skin repair. Serums can’t penetrate through skin that isn’t cleansed properly.

It is really important to choose the right cleanser! Gentle cleansing with the right cleanser is so important to maintaining healthy skin. Over cleansing or using the wrong cleanser may feel really good at the time, but that squeaky clean feeling may lead to surface dryness, irritation, a compromised barrier, and skin that isn’t healthy. Once the skin has any of these issues, it doesn’t work well and a breakdown in skin systems leads to other issues that all begin with improper cleansing.

We recommend removing eye makeup and other stubborn makeup first, or plan on doing a double cleanse to remove all dirt and debris. Remember to cleanse well under the fine facial hair as it can give harbor to makeup, sunscreen, and dirt.

NeoGenesis Cleanser is a very gentle, oncology approved, gel-based cleanser for all skin types. It may be used by the entire family, on the face and the body. It is specially formulated to gently cleanse and refresh the skin morning and night without the use of sulfates or other harmful ingredients. Our cleanser gently removes makeup, dirt, and excess oil without drying the skin or affecting the natural pH balance.

Massage a small amount over lightly dampened face and neck. Rinse completely and follow with the NeoGenesis Serums and NeoGenesis Moisturizer of your choice. Avoid using hot water to wash your face since it may potentially dry out or irritate your skin. Use warm water instead.
