The Secret is in the Tradition -- Sea Buckthorn Extract

Asian culture has been using sea buckthorn oil for thousands of years. The reason why sea buckthorn is loved for so many years is not only because of its lovely, tangy taste but also due to its anti-aging qualities. This magic berry itself works as an antioxidant that prevents your skin from aging and its extract contains vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Sea buckthorn is also great for autumn and winter because it usually comes in oil-based products that allow quick absorption without leaving your skin feeling dry.

Proper cleansing is a simple but effective technique to keep your skin clean and sanitary to prevent unnecessary breakouts. Double cleansing, as the name already points out, means cleansing twice. Double cleansing usually requires two steps using two different types of cleansers: oil-based and water-based cleansers. The reason for having a regimen with a combination of two different cleansers is because they each perform a distinct role in cleansing your skin. By using oil-based cleansers first, you can remove your makeup spotlessly, at the same time, allow the cleanser to reach deep into your pores. The second process involves the traditional foaming cleanser or micellar water to effectively get rid of all the residual substances without inducing excessive sebum production.
