Where to start your journey with Dr Hauschka


Many people ask me what my favourite Dr Hauschka product is. That is a easy question...I like all of them. But if I was  to narrow it down to what products really deliver,  I would have to say it's the Dr Hauschka cleansers. This may come as a surprise. In my own experience I see women make the mistake of focusing on their moisturizer and putting cleansers at a lower priority. 

In a nut shell here is how I view things. If you were going to clean your kitchen floor you would clean it first before apply a polish. You would want to insure your product for cleaning you floor, removed dirt but didn't strip its surface. Its the exact same with your skin. You want to be using more then water to clean and you want to ensure you are not striping your skin with a cleanser that is not only removing dirt but also your own natural oils and your skins heathy bacteria.

You skin should feel comfortable after cleansing. Any thing less then comfortable means something is out of balance. 

Way back I use to have combination skin with dry patches and oily areas.  It was a real bother  trying to get those dry patches moisturized  while keeping the other areas oil free.  That all changed  for me by using Dr Hauschka Cleaners.  They are mild and yet deeply nourish my skin.

Many clients that I see have been using foamy cleansers because they associate the way they feel with clean skin. They are also the ones who report that they have dry skin.  Gel cleansers and foaming cleansers strip the skin of its natural oil, leaving it indeed feeling clean.  Unfortunately along with taking away the dirt, they take off the  natural protective oils, and our skin now has to work extra hard to correct the situation.  With the repeated daily use of  harsh cleansers, it takes a toll on the skin.  Thankfully this concept of over stripping the skin is becoming better understood and adopted by the skincare practitioners.

It might take some time to get use to the feel of a cream cleanser, but before long you will notice a noticeable improvement in your skin.  The oils in the Dr Hauschka Cleansing Milk, gently lift off dirt, with the added benefit of feeding the skin with beneficial, healing plant extracts and oils.

What ultimatly happened for me was, my combination skin disappeared and has never returned, not even in the cold of winter.   The cleanser also makes it possible to follow the advice of the Dr Hauschka  to not use oil based creams or lotions on the face at night.  So many people are shocked by this concept,  but using a cream cleanser can go a long way to making it possible not to feel the need to cover your skin with night cream at night.  Your skin just won't feel tight and dry and you'll be one step closer to adopting a skin care routine that is in harmony with the rhythm of your skin. 

The Dr Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk contains a fermented grain extract that removes every trace of dirt, makeup and impurities, while bentonite clay calms irritation. Soothing jojoba and sweet almond oils maintain skin's natural moisture balance and anthyllis extract tones and nourishes. After rinsing, skin feels pampered and velvety smooth.
