Why Your Cleanser Is the Most Underrated Step in Your Skincare Routine

Everything in your routine depends on a clean surface. Makeup, sunscreen, pollution and oil sit on skin all day, and if they are not removed, your serums cannot reach where they need to go.

A good cleanser does this without disturbing the skin barrier. That balance is the whole point: clean, but not stripped.

If you only upgrade one thing in your routine this year, make it your cleanser.
