They will be our collaborator on content.

MAGAZINE: Dr. Oz THE GOOD LIFE – October Issue Talking Points
It’s All In the Way You Wash Your Face
There are more products than ever that offer potent clarifying, hydrating, and antiaging ingredients. Dermatologists come clean about the perfect cleansing solution:
•Water temperature matters – lukewarm is always best for washing your face
•Take your time – you need at least a minute to dislodge the built-up dirt and bacteria that should be rinsed away
•Makeup remover is optional – cleansers, especially new oil-based formulas, can dissolve makeup without irritating your eyes
•Bubbles aren’t evil – look for mild sodium cocoyl isethionate or sodium N-cocoyl glycenate foaming washes
•You missed a spot – pull your hair back off your face and rinse until you no longer see suds or feel a slippery residue
•You don’t need special tools, but oscillating cleansing brushes are an option if you wear a lot of makeup or sunscreen – they help flex your pores and sweep away dead skin cells
