A Simple Skin-Care Tip to Get Your Face Flawless FAST!

Posted by beth on April 22, 2008

Sigh. I’ve read too many Cosmo articles in my life. Actually, I’m not even sure that’d be a good Cosmo article title, or if maybe it’s more along the lines of Glamour. Cosmo, I feel, is more high fashion and therefore a bit too snobby for such a catchy title. In fact, it might be more of a Teen Magazine or YM (oh yeah, I brought it back) title.

Anyhoe, it’s so simple, you’re going to slap your mama (leave mine alone, though). Are you ready? Here it is:

At night, when you wash your face, do it twice.

That’s all. Use a gentle cleanser with no chemical acne treatments or anything in it, and lather up twice–once to get all your make-up off, and once to actually clean your skin. I’ve been using Aveeno’s Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, but I imagine Cetaphil would also be a good one to try. It claims to be specially formulated for “compromised skin,” whatever that means, and I’ve heard good things about it.

Wow. That might be the first EVER Onward Hoe! beauty tip. At least for skin care. If you liked it, let me know, and I’ll try to BS some more! (This one’s not BS, though, just for the record. I’ve really been doing it, and it’s really been working.)

Special thanks to the Ulta employee who gave me this tip…even though she did precede it with an unnecessary tale of her drunken exploits.
