Goodbye, Ivory Soap … Hello, SkinCeuticals

From Carol, our Distant Concierge:

I had an old fashioned childhood. Mom washed us with Ivory Soap, face and all. Yes, I still have a bar in my shower, but am a little horrified that it was my facial wash for most of my life. It wasn’t until I was working for Dr. Gabriel Chiu and getting a good education in Skincueticals cleansers did I change my ways.

We all know when we have oily (pretty obvious), dry or combination skin. As a teenager I had painful and embarrassing breakouts which fortunately lessened in my twenties, but my mid thirties is now trending drier with an occasional breakout. Nothing worse than being my age with acne! Thankfully, Skincueticals can address whatever my skin can dish out.

There is quite an array of facial cleansers available. Which one is right for you? Luckily, Dr. Gabriel Chiu or Pearl at The SPA @ BHPS, Inc. will really take the time to explain the best product so you can be off to the right start! Here is a helpful breakdown of Skincueticals cleansers for your reference:

skin.
