Skin Care 101: Overcleansing

Good skin care is important. But that does not mean that you need to cleanse too often.  Overcleansing can strip your skin of its natural protective lipid.

The major function of your skin is to keep the dirt away and hold moisture in. But if you over-cleanse your skin, you are stripping your skin of the natural oils that keeps it healthy. This will result to skin that feels dry and tight.

Overcleasing can also lead to skin irritations like rashes, acne or even dermatitis.

Overcleansing can also be brought about by using harsh cleanser that’s not suited for your skin type.

Here are some mild cleansing agents for those with sensitive skin that are prone to overcleansing…

The Diana Stalder Licorice Beauty Bar is very gentle as it deeply cleanses and softens the skin while moisturizing it.  It lightens skin tone, and has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, which can alleviate the appearance of mild rashes.

The Diana Stalder Facial Wash is also composed of natural ingredients that cleanses gently and conditions the skin.
