Basic Daily Skin Care: Face Cleansers

 A daily skincare are routine is a must if you wish to enjoy flawless skin. The quality of products plus a consistent routine will deliver great results within weeks!

Let’s start off with cleansing:

You may choose from:

[Face wash or Face cleansers

[cleansing balms

[Cleansing oils 

[Micellar water 

[Cleansing gels 

[Cleansing clays

Cleansers are not the same as toners! However, toners are used to also cleanse but that’s after you’ve done the actual cleansing. Toners remove leftover dirt!

If you wear make up, consider using a make-up remover or cleansing oils or cleansing gels  such as micellar water and then follow up with face wash . 

There are cleansers targeted at skin needs like acne prone eg Inkey List Salicylic Cleanser, Nip + Fab mandelic cleanser, Cerave facial cleanser, Ceraphil Facial Cleanser,Neutrogena  oil free acne wash  and several other amazing brands. 

Personal note/observation: Cleansers are usually intended to be used as make-up removers too for most brands. They are an out of shower step. Same applies to cleansing balms and gels too. You apply and clean with towel without necessarily rinsing with water. Some cleansers double as make-up removers and face washes too. 

Next up, we will look at each cleanser type and the skin needs they satisfy.
