Cleansing is the foundation of skincare. But here’s the truth Queens rarely hear: too much cleansing can harm your skin more than it helps.

The Problem with Over-Cleansing

Washing your face too often, or using the wrong products, strips away your skin’s natural oils. These oils are your skin’s built-in defense system. Without them, skin becomes:

Dry and tight

Irritated and red

More prone to breakouts

Dull and lifeless (the opposite of a glow!)

Why Harsh Soaps Are a Big No

Ordinary bar soaps and foaming cleansers often have high pH levels and sulfates. These disrupt your skin barrier, leaving it vulnerable to bacteria, pollution, and premature aging.

The Right Way to Cleanse Like a Queen 👑

✅ Wash your face only twice a day, morning and night.

✅ Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser (look for words like “hydrating” or “sulfate-free”).

✅ Always moisturize after cleansing to lock hydration back in.

✅ In the morning, if your skin feels clean, a splash of water may be enough!

Remember: Glowing skin doesn’t come from scrubbing harder, but from treating your skin gently.
