Facial Cleansers

Description: Liquid cleansers designed to remove dirt, oil and makeup, and thoroughly cleanse the skin. Products that contain ingredients such as essential oils, which are known to be beneficial to the skin and provide natural scents.

What to look for: Look for skin care products which contain certified, organic plant ingredients that are biodynamic and grown using sustainable practices. Choose products which are eco-friendly and are not tested on animals. Ingredients such as glycolic or other fruit acid enzymes work well to exfoliate, brighten, and soften the skin while also delivering antioxidant benefits. Look for products containing antioxidants with nourishing properties such as vitamins A, E and C.

Uses: Cleansers should be used twice a day, once in the morning and at night. Follow directions on the label.

Where to find: Spas/Salons, Health Food Stores or Online Resources.

Avoid: Skin cleansers which are not formulated for your skin type. Cleansers without proper pH, because they tend to be very harsh and stripping. This may dry your skin and/or cause your skin to produce excess oil which can lead to breakouts and clogged pores. It is best to use a liquid or gel cleansing agent instead of bar soap, which tends to harbor bacteria and may clog pores. Do not use products which contain: artificial preservatives (parabens: methyl-, ethyl-, butyl-), synthetic scents/perfumes, colors, surfactants (sodium lauryl/lauryl sulphate), unpurified water with chlorine, petroleum based ingredients, parabens (methyl-, ethyl-, butyl-), or animal products.

  • Check out http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ -- cosmetic database that rates cosmetic products on a
    scale of 1-10 for toxicity. Cindy Crawford makeup is very toxic and Bare Escentuals contains bismuth which is very toxic. Estee Lauder is very toxic -- check out your favorite products on skindeep.

  • i use skindeep sometimes,i guess not as often as i should. i just purchased cindy crawfords meaningful beauty,and looked it up they dont have it listed... it's supsose to be made from melon extract,does anyone know if its safe?

  • You know what i love to use as a face wash? Organic Olive Oil! At first your face feels a little more oily but after a couple tries your face looks fresh and young and so soft! I recommend applying about a quarter size on a hand then massage all over the face for about a minute. wipe clean with a warm towel. Your face will never dry out!

  • Why doesn't he say the exact products by name thats the reason I joined his website to get products by name and go purchase them....the same information is in his book:(

  • I think that he/they don't tell us the brand names because there are so many and he doesn't want to endorse only one of the many great product. He may also want us to use our discernment so that we learn the ingredients that are toxic and non-toxic so that we will ALWAYS be able to figure it out, where ever we find products.;D
