Dermalogica Precleanse: Not As Useless As It Sounds

My friend works at Dermalogica so before leaving for a trip to Israel the other week, I realized I had no cleanser under 3oz and emailed her to ask if she could send me one of my favorites in mini size (pretty, pretty please!). She asked me if I needed anything else and while I said no she sent along Dermalogica PreCleanse anyway. I can’t have a beauty product and not try it if it’s from a brand I love so one of the nights when instead of being a normal, young(ish) woman and going out, I stayed in with my parents and opted to go to bed early meaning, I had time to devote to an extra step in my nighttime routine. Turns out this is a great product! Yes it’s an extra step and most nights I won’t use it, but it pretty much works like a primer to help your cleanser work more effectively without stripping your skin of moisture, which means it’s perfect come dry winter weather or after a long flight (I’m going to Thailand in three weeks…). As a bonus this doubles as eye makeup remover.
