Part 1 Continued, Back to Basics: Cleansers & Moisturizers for Healthy, Balanced Skin
Now that we’ve covered cleansing, let’s talk about the other non-negotiable step in your skincare routine: moisturizing. No matter your skin type, yes, you need a moisturizer. Let’s break down why, what to look for, and how to pick the best one for your skin.
Why Do You Need a Moisturizer?
Your skin naturally loses water throughout the day, and without proper hydration, your barrier weakens—leading to dryness, irritation, and even more oil production (yes, even oily skin can get dehydrated!).

Part 1, Back to Basics: Cleansers & Moisturizers for Healthy, Balanced Skin
Cleansing is the first and most essential step in your skincare routine. But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the right one? Should you have more than one? Should you use an oil cleanser? Let's break it down.
How Many Cleansers Do You Really Need?
I firmly believe that everyone should have two different cleansers in their routine—one for removing buildup (makeup, sunscreen, and oil) and another for deep cleansing.
If you’re like me, that means actually having four cleansers—two at your sink and two in your shower. Some people argue for three, but I’ll explain why I don’t think that’s necessary in a bit.

What’s New? Image Skincare WWLP 2023
Every Spring Image Skincare launches new products during a global, virtual event they call the World Wide Launch Party- WWLP. It’s always one of the most exciting times of the year for spas and estheticians working with the brand. It’s a chance to see what’s trending in skincare and how your spa is going to meet that consumer demand. Who doesn’t love an innovative skincare brand that stays current on all things SKIN?!? We absolutely LOVE Image Skincare for this!
This year I couldn’t be more excited about the two launches during their WWLP event. There’s an entire new collections called BIOME+ and then new sun care SPF items added to the PREVENTION+ line! Let me break them down for you below.
