Are you the kind of person who comes back home post work (or whatever else you were up to) and immediately jumps into the shower to scrub off the day? Or are you the kind who right away plonks himself on the couch and starts playing the newest Netflix show that’s out? Maybe you’re a third kind, the one who starts cleaning, cooking or doing some other household chore? Whichever kind of person you are, please note that you need to use a face cleanser when washing your face.
A good cleanser is the foundation on which you build the building that is going to be your skincare routine. Every face needs a face cleanser, and what separates the amateurs from the skincare enthusiasts and experts is what follows after you’ve washed your face.
A face cleanser does many things apart from just cleaning your face. It balances the oils present, removes the free radicals that have clogged your pores and also removes bacteria that lead to unwanted blackheads and breakouts. Some cleansers also help nourish your skin thanks to certain ingredients that are present in them. There are also those that work as a mild exfoliant, which is great if you’re looking to hit two birds with one stone.
The mark of a good face wash or cleanser is its crucial after-effect - if your skin feels overly dry or stripped off, you’re definitely not using the right cleanser, or using one that’s way too harsh on your skin.
