“….The eczema creme healed her son and husband’s horrible cracking feet…”

It’s ok to take a break from cleansing or only cleanse 1x daily…only occasionally.
I only cleanse 1x daily in the evenings — my skin is sensitive to over agitation from many years of using harsh acne fighting products (toxic cleansers, scrubs, cremes, masques)
Occasionally I will skip a day from cleansing to give my face a break.
Signs that your face needs a break from cleansing:
1) You notice persistant small bumps — not noticeable to the naked eye but tiny “goose bumps” – often a sign of over agitation
2) Skin seems dry …

Sometimes winter weather can cause skin to be more oily and broken out. A simple “mini facial” 1x weekly can control and heal existing breakouts and allow the skin to maintain moisture balance.
