The delights of digging deeper
01 Feb 2012 09:42 AM | Posted by bh'sOlivia
How do you define beauty? Is it just what you see on the outside or does it go a little deeper than that? Inner beauty is one thing, and you can achieve that by being a kind and compassionate person – but ensuring your outer beauty shines really bright? Well, digging a little deeper can really help.
Using make-up to cover imperfections has been a way of life for many for decades. But isn’t it smarter in the long run to try and perfect what you have already? Rather than trying to cover up what you don’t like? This is where deep skin cleansing comes into play. Products that allow you to clean and regenerate deep into your pores and also the deeper layers of your skin, ridding your skin of hidden grime is the ticket to the bright and beautiful complexion you know you want, as a deeper clean means the chance of breakouts is lessened.
Cleansing the top layer of your skin will help to remove dead skin cells and make your complexion appear more radiant, but if you add deep pore cleansing into the mix, you’re sure to experience the delights of digging a little deeper into your skincare.

A facial every few weeks help keep my skin clean, and in between I use Biore pore strips, and a deep pore scrub. I like nothing better than having silky soft clean skin.

I like to use a muslin cloth to exfoliate with an oil cleanser. It is very gentle and I don't do it often.

Inner Beauty is the spectacular kind of beauty because it can make and keep friendships which Outer Beauty cannot do! Well that's my philosophy on beauty anyhow!
Outer Beauty is more transient than Inner Beauty so we do need products to keep it in check! So I'm in complete agreeance that a good cleanser that suits our own personal skin type is really beneficial for our Outer Beauty. I've found one recently to be the best I've ever used and it suits my crazy aging, blemish prone, sun damaged, hormone influenced, oily T-zone skin type!!! lol Yep I had a tall order so no wonder it took me so long to find the cleanser that would help my skin. I love Aspect Purastat cleanser. It's simply amazing for my skin.

I love using the st ives apricot scrub for blemish prone skin. My skin feels amazing afterwards and so soft! Plus It's only $10 so its super affordable. I wouldn't mind trying the clean and clear in shower facial as well now!

Beauties,
i'd stay away from the 10.0.06 products as i've heard no real good about their range, super bad for sensitive, acne-prone skin
Also the clearasil doesnt sound too good.
But the Danne-Montague King cleanser sounds lovely!

In the summer I usually sweat with all the humidity, but I use a basic scrub in the shower.

I use cleansers and exfoliaters. I use the following products at times Biore Pore Strips, Biore Blackhead Cleansing Scrub, Clearasil Gel Wash, and Neutrogena Foam Cleanser, along with other brands.
There is nothing better than giving my skin a thorough deep cleansing, I really enjoy it.

I use ASAP daily exfoliating scrub, plus, L'Oreal detox. cleanser twice a week at the moment. I also love St. Ives scrub now and then. I also have a mud soap which leaves my skin really clean and is gentle. There is a huge amount of wonderful products available now.

I definitely recommend the formula10.0.6 mud mask - its the best mask I have ever smelt. Some people complain about it stinging their face, but I like the tingling sensation.

Cleanse, tone and moisturise daily and then face masks and exfoliation, but not too often.

Exfoliating is such an important part of a skin routine! I love the feeling of how good my skin feels after my weekly DIY face mask!

My beauty routine is pretty standard, but as well as cleansing, toning and moisturising, I use a scrub/exfoliator every morning (alternating between strong and mild) and at least once a week, Palmers Purifying clay mask - helps keep my pores from clogging, controls the blackheads and I really notice the difference if I get lazy and skip this little wonder...

Did it fade pigmentation and wrinkles? Yes, actually.

I love a deep cleanse and to ensure my skin is squeaky clean, I like to first remove my makeup using my Lancome Cleansing Water (a few pumps onto a cotton pad) then followed by my usual cream cleanser. Finally I use a gentle, non-alcoholic toner to remove any remaining traces of residue/makeup. For the body, I ensure I exfoliate regularly with my fave Clarins body scrub to remove dead skin cells, sweat and other residue build up.
