What do facial cleansers actually do?
Facial cleansers remove dirt, debris, oil and other environmental pollution on the skin. Daily washing of the skin removes impurities and dead skin cells helping to rebalance the skin and correct the ph level. Without cleansing, skin would become blocked with debris, excess oil, dead skin cells and environmental pollution. It can also look dehydrated and feel rough.
Without regular cleansing, moisture cannot penetrate into the skin efficiently, and your pores can potentially become clogged with acne or itchy skin, along with premature ageing.

Tips
- STOP using soap to cleanse – this strips the skin of good oils and changes ph levels.
- Use your fingers to massage the cleanser in for a few minutes. Let the cleanser sit on the skin for a few minutes to activate before removal (aids desquamation process).
- Remove cleanser with tepid water which helps keeps skin structure firmer.
