So if you are going to pick something that is a gel, a liquid, look for one that's been tested by a dermatology group or verified by the American Academy of Dermatology as one that is not allergenic or has multiple preservatives because that's another well-known preservative. but unidentified source of problems.

Well known to the dermatology world, not known to the average person that the preservatives in our cleansers are a problem. Overcleansing becomes really problematic in eradicating the skin microbiome. So what we see a lot of times are cleansers that are either

bactericidal, bacteriostatics, things like benzoyl peroxide, things like salicylic acid, things like certain astringent toners that are alcohol-based. And what they do is not only do they strip the normal oils from our skin that keep our skin supple and healthy, but they eradicate the normal host skin microbiome. Those are all the microorganisms that live on our skin.

And we have trillions of them actively surveying our skin, living in normal symbiotic homeostasis, meaning there are friends, they're living there for a reason, they don't cause any problems. But when you cleanse them off, you open up a an area for pathogens to take effect. And that's when we see a lot of problems, more so in industrialized countries.

The United States is a notorious place for washing, especially after COVID. Wash, wash, wash, wash more, use a toner, wash some more. And that becomes really problematic because it sets up for organisms to take seed when they shouldn't be there. So Overall, cleansing is great, and the amount that you need to cleanse is based on how oily or sebaceous your skin is.

The older you get, you may not need to cleanse as much. Older patients don't need to cleanse their skin at all every day because they don't produce as much sebum or oil as younger patients. But everything should be defined by your skin's characteristics. So if you are one in which you notice by the end of the day, I'm oily. I'm breaking out.

Cleansing may be something that's beneficial for you to take off that excess sebum. If you're one that has dry skin, if you're one that had sensitive skin as a child, then over-cleansing is going to be a problem. You're going to want to minimize that and keep that moisturization or that barrier protection going.
