Heathy skin begins with clean skin. Washing your face may seem like a simple task, but there’s more to it than basic wet-lather-rinse. Daily life exposes your face to pollution, dirt, sweat, sunscreen and makeup so your cleansing routine needs to gently remove that dirt, while nourishing your skin. This is where Double Cleansing comes in.

Do people of color have different skincare needs? First, skin is skin. Yes, we have more melanin, but other than that, the skin of people of color is the same as the skin of other people. However, certain characteristics more common among people with melanin rich skin make our skincare needs unique.

Skincare experts advise us to use sunscreen everyday as the single most important step you can take to care for your skin. However, the belief that people with darker skin tones do not need sunscreen is a common -- yet false -- myth. While brown skin is more resistant to sunburns, it still needs protection from long term sun damage that ages skin and leads to problems with hyperpigmentation.
