Cleaning your face is an integral part of every beauty routine. It helps remove impurities such as dead cells, makeup, bacteria and oil to unclog pores and keep your skin healthy. It also preps the skin to better absorb moisturisers and serums.
From cream cleansers to foaming face washes, there are many types of cleansing formulas to choose from. It’s important to pick a cleanser that suits your skin type, concerns and goals to take full advantage of its benefits.
