Hydrating Cleanser

It should be stated that I have a scrub and mask obsession, but like all addictions mine comes at a price: dry skin. Yes, a good scrub can clear up your blemishes, give you skin that radiates like the sun, and if you share my weakness--make you feel just plain good. However, much as I try to keep my infatuation with the rare Dead Sea mud, at bay, inevitably I will commit the ultimate skincare crime of over-scrubbing. A typical over-scrubber will: have red, raw skin; flaky, cakey foundation (the worst!), and will be applying moisturizer in public with no regard for social norms whatsoever. Now try finding a cleanser that doesn’t do more damage to your fragile skin because even an perennial mask-applier needs to wash her face daily. These milk-cleansers work only to facilitate my addiction, but I don’t know what I’d do without them.
