How Does PCA Skin’s Daily Cleansing Oil Work to Remove Makeup and Impurities?

PCA Skin’s Daily Cleansing Oil works to effectively remove makeup and dirt from skin by breaking up impurities on its way out.

This lightweight oil-based cleansing formula quickly and gently clears away environmental pollution (such as Santa Ana winds) that may be difficult to wash away with traditional face washes. Packed with moisturizing oils and antioxidants that rejuvenate and protect skin while fighting free radical damage, this hydrating cleanser leaves behind soft and silky-smooth complexion. Grape seed and sweet almond oils give this hydrating cleanser its signature scent of grapefruit and sweet almond aromas for added softness and smoothness – ideal for daily use!

How to use this product: Apply two to three pumps of this emollient oil onto dry hands and face, mixing together in circular movements with warm water until a creamy lather forms that gently dissolves makeup, excess sebum, dirt and makeup impurities without stripping or clogging pores. Rinse off using warm water and follow up with appropriate PCA SKIN(r) toner, treatment serums or broad spectrum SPF product in the daytime; or moisturizer in the evening for best results.

Pre-cleansing has become an increasingly popular beauty trend; it helps ensure the rest of your treatments and products do their jobs correctly on your skin before touching it, according to Rachael Gallo, esthetician and COO of Silver Mirror Facial Bar in Los Angeles. In particular, she recommends pre-cleansing for people who use heavy makeup or sunscreen products, or are participating in more intensive procedures like peels, microneedling or laser.

Cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski suggests that oil-based cleansers provide more than just makeup removal; they also keep skin hydrated while purifying. Furthermore, these cleansers tend to irritate less sensitive skin and are better at dissolving waterproof or long-wearing makeup than conventional cleansers, according to him.

Makeup Removing Wipes: For an effortless makeup removal step that won’t leave skin feeling greasy, turn to PCA Skin Makeup Removing Wipes. These gentle wipes quickly remove all types of eye, lip, and face makeup as well as sunscreen from all skin types; plus they come in different sizes to meet every skincare regimen’s needs.

Double cleansing: Double cleansing is an FDA-recognized way of effectively cleansing skin of any makeup and oil build-up prior to using regular face wash products.

As waterproof and long-wear makeup becomes more accessible, double cleansing has become increasingly fashionable as an effective way to ensure all products can do their job efficiently. Double cleansing offers the most thorough way of getting rid of makeup residue and impurities that may otherwise prove more challenging to remove using traditional cleansers.

Here’s how it works: Apply two to three pumps of an emollient cleansing oil using dry hands on both your face and neck. Massage the oil into your skin until it starts melting away the day’s pollution as well as any stubborn makeup from your pores.

Next, rinse with warm water and pat dry. To further flush away any impurities that remain, add a few drops of water to your fingertips and massage oil into your skin until complete removal has occurred. Repeat as necessary.
