Washing your face might seem basic, but doing it right can make a big difference in your skin. In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee break down everything you need to know about cleansing—from choosing the right product for your skin type to understanding when (and if) you should double cleanse. They cover techniques, common myths (like whether hot water opens pores), and tips on how towels, pillowcases, and even your water temperature can impact your skin health. You’ll also hear about their favorite cleansing products, the science behind them, and a few fun facts along the way.
