Basically, as you get older you will look older, and someday you will die. Your corpse will be burned, eaten by worms, or used to fuel the cars of the future. These are truths that the beauty empires would have you deny. “If I just add one more product, one more age-defying cleanser to my regimen…” the line of thinking goes. In the frenzy of shaming our wallets open, the skin health industry has drowned out all logical, learned voices. What’s more,  laws regarding the testing of cosmetics and skin products are almost nonexistent. Companies are not even required to list the ingredients of their products. That is why I wrote this article on how to clean your face. Concerning my health (and even my beauteous complexion) I like to seek out expert opinions – mainly dermatologists…and not those sell-out PhDs that sponsor studies for this or that company. They should have their stethoscopes confiscated. If you have severe acne, intensely sensitive skin, rosacea, or any other skin condition, you’ll want to talk to a dermatologist about how to clean your face or get a clean face. For most people, the general principals apply. You can read my latest article to develop a sane regimen to clean your face and also to find safe skin care products. But you’re still going to die.
