The face wash you use is just as important as the skin cream you apply. My name is Nanette and as a practicing Herbalogist I see many types of facial skin problems due to the use of "commercial soaps."
You see, most face washes are nothing more than harsh detergents that hurt your skin. You need the right ingredients for healthy skin. Dry skin, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and dermatitis conditions necessitate a pure and gentle cleanser.
I tell my clients,"Most skin sensitivities are aggravated by the synthetic ingredients in soaps."
Many people who have had trouble with dermatologist recommended soap or "sensitive skin" soap have found themselves in a continual search for just the "right" product.
This is because even doctor recommended sensitive skin soaps contain many unnecessary chemicals that can, and do, irritate and dry out your skin.
My customers ask me, "What type of facial cleanser should I use that won't dry my skin?"
I tell them to use only the best! That means a natural cleanser that is "non-soap" in nature, contains natural ingredients and is hypo-allergenic.
This may be tough to find as most soap bars and shower gels that are commercially produced in mass amounts contain harsh detergents and irritating chemicals. Some even contain harsh tars and steroids.
Still more contain synthetic fragrances, colorants, parabens and preservatives. Many contain lye and other harmful substances including the famed "glycerin soaps".
You see, to produce their transparency, most "glycerin soaps" contain harsh alcohol compounds that dry out and further irritate your skin. Actually, a true glycerin bar, produced naturally and organically, should be cloudy.
A liquid facial cleanser should not only be ultra-mild for the sensitive skin on the face and neck but also provide relief from symptoms of scaling, flaking, itchy dry skin and acne too.
Using the right natural "non-soap" cleanser
should unpack dry, damaged cells allowing moisture to penetrate the
7 layers of skin
thereby helping your sensitive skin to repair from “the bottom up”.
Further, it should contain only herbal ingredients that are organically grown. You see, vitamin-derived antioxidants from plant sourced ingredients not only make the best ingredients for your "inside", but for your "outside" as well.
A pure and gentle cleanser is just right for all skin types, conditions and ages and would be great for normal skin as well.
I brought my 17 year old son to you and the eczema on his face was so bad that he didn't want to go out anymore. I was desperate for him to get relief and upon your recommendation started him on your facial program. It has been our saving grace because now he is eczema free.
