Your Glow Doesn't Come From Being Squeaky Clean
For years, we’ve been conditioned to think that the tighter, cleaner and ‘squeakier’ our skin feels after washing, the better our cleanser must be working. That squeaky-clean feeling has almost become shorthand for a job well done.

It comes from skin that is healthy, resilient and supported for the long term, and when it comes to your face, squeaky clean isn’t necessarily something to celebrate. If your skin feels tight, dry, or uncomfortable immediately after cleansing, your cleanser may be removing more than makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and the day's grime. It may also strip away some of the natural lipids your skin needs to stay hydrated, resilient, and protected. And that matters far more than you might think.
