If you are anything like me, there are many times when you need to wash your face an extra time during the day, more than the standard morning and night. Maybe you are heading out for the night and want to do a quick re-do of your makeup from the day's wear. (Or if you have oily hair like me, you want to just do a complete shower and redo everything!). Or maybe you hit the gym in the morning, or simply need to run a few quick errands, and need to quickly wash your face before heading out the door, but plan to return home afterward to do your official "get-ready" routine. In those instances, you will obviously be removing your makeup and/or washing your face more than the standard 2x a day. However, as you know, our Rodan + Fields products are designed to last you a minimum of 60 days with a 2x a day usage. Adding this extra wash will put you up to 3x and cause you to burn through your products (and money) very quickly!
Rather than using your beloved Rodan +Fields products, I recommend having a gentle cleanser and moisturizer on hand for these one-off instances. My current favorites for this are from the CeraVe line (available at Target, Walgreens, etc). If you have oily skin, I recommend the Foaming Facial Cleanser. For drier skin, Hydrating Cleanser. They also have a wonderful non-comedogenic moisturizer that delivers optimal moisture without adding anything too heavy to your skin. :)
Think of it this way - you want your most effective products to be on your skin for the majority of the day. Typically, our morning regimen (cleanser, toner, creams) will be on our skin for about 8 hours. Likewise, we assume your nightly regimen will be on your skin as you get your recommended 8 hours of beauty rest. :) Therefore, to use these cherished products again for a situation that will only be taking up a small window of your time, you really aren't doing your skin (or your pocketbook) any favors.
The products I mentioned above are about $8-12 each. And considering how infrequently you will be using them, they will truly last you forever, while saving you a TON of money on eliminating the excessive (and unnecessary) use of your good stuff! :)
