Let’s talk about skin cleansers for a moment.

Skin that is healthy and intact creates a mechanical barrier, preventing the penetration of harmful substances into the rest of the body, as part of the non-specific body defense system.

Harsh cleansers disrupt this protective layer and who needs that?

A good cleanser should be gentle and easy to rinse off with water. It should clean your face and take off all makeup. It should not contain:

• any Irritants such as perfumes and lathering agents.
• type of exfoliating acids such as salicylic or glycolic acid.

So, to keep your skin healthy this summer, my cleansers of choice would be:

• for the face – Osmosis Gentle Cleanse,
• for the body – Savon de Marseille.
