So, we’re in lockdown. Climbing the walls, finding anything and everything to do!… Now is the perfect time to perfect your skincare routine!
This month in the salon we should have been launching our NEW skin care range, Katherine Daniels and would have been celebrating with a special offer! So instead, were going to bring Katherine Daniels to your home.
We can’t replace our skin so now is the time to change our skincare routine and have better looking skin.
Katherine Daniels is a SUPER simple 4 step skin care routine, no over complicated routine and a small choice of home care products for you. A simple but effective skin care which easily fits in to your lifestyle.
You may be a complete skin care pro.. or your sitting here thinking uh oh, maybe the baby wipes aren’t enough!! We’re going to take it back to the basics, back to the beginning and talk about why cleansing is the first step you need to crack…
Why is cleansing so important? What does cleansing actually do…
Oil, dirt, make up and pollution particles get into your hair follicles if the skin is not kept clean. This causes the hair follicles to become blocked (like a “plug” of debris) which festers and breeds bacteria! Once this happens, the area around the follicle becomes raised, red and sore, white blood cells then go to the area to fight this infection. These white blood cells die and ta-da… a white head!
Should we squeeze spots?
NO… It takes the skin 28 days plus healing (depending on your age.) Spots can then become re-infected during this time, we squeeze again, skin has to start the healing process again and by this point your likely to be left with damage which could result in scarring.
Cleansing ensures your skin is clean of excess oil, dirt, makeup and pollution particles meaning it can limit the amount of spots/blackheads you get. It also ensures your skin is in its best shape to recover and repair whilst you sleep.
Do you cleanse your skin every night? Yes?- well done! If you don’t.. now is the perfect time to set yourself a cleansing challenge! See the difference in your skin in 2 weeks – it’s not like you’ve not got the time!! 
Is cleansing once enough?
No, you should be double cleansing every morning and evening! The 1st cleanse removes your makeup, dirt and superficial pollution. The 2nd cleanse will clean your skin, remove any remainder of excess oil, dirt, make up and microscopic pollution particles.
Essential cleansing milk and toning lotion is what we use during a Katherine Daniels facial. It is the best way to get the deepest cleanse possible- in the gentlest way as it is a dual textured milk to fluid. The molecular structure of the fluid is small meaning this product can enter every pore/every follicle – this gives the deepest, detoxifying clean!
What cleansing options do I have?
So above we’ve told you about the cleansing milk & toning lotion but Katherine Daniels have two other cleansing choices to suit your lifestyle as well as your skin needs…
Refreshing Cleansing Gel- This gel wash forms a rich lather leaving the skin clean, refreshed and matte. The Aloe Vera in this wash soothes, calms and conditions the skin.
Miracle Cleansing Jelly- A multi textured makeup remover and face cleanser for all skin types. This jelly transforms to a delicate oil before a small amount of water is added to the skin turning it into a milky consistency. The oil lifts impurities, makeup and even waterproof mascara!
Do I need to cleanse in a morning too?
Yes, you should be cleansing AM & PM. When going to bed, your skin should be clean and so your morning cleanse should just be removing oils, dust particles and your night time concentrate and creams. Facial washes are great for your morning cleanse as they are a quick refresh and can be used in the shower. Or, the micellar face & eye make up remover is great for a morning refresh!
So, how are you cleansing at the moment? If your looking to improve your skin, feel happier in your skin or perfect your skin care routine than starting with the cleansing process is the first place you need to focus on.
