Beauty Tip 26. Crucial cleansing

Clean skin is a prerequisite for smooth, youthful, healthy looking skin.

Unless you cleanse properly, you will never be blessed with the beautiful skin we're all striving for.

You simply must cleanse your face every night and every morning.

The morning clean removes surface oil and dead skin cells accumulated during sleep.

Despite what some people say, this needn't be anything more than a quick wipe with a damp face cloth.

Remember, too much rubbing, washing and cleansing is counterproductive and can cause more problems than it solves.

The night time cleanse, on the other hand, should be considerably more thorough.

You need to fully remove all the grime that has built up during the day, as well as stripping your face of all traces of make up before you go to bed.

Your skin repairs itself while you sleep. Any residue on your face hinders this process and leads to a whole host of skin problems.
