Introduction to Facewashes
Facewashes are skin care products that are used to clean and moisturize the face. The term “facewash” is a general term that can refer to any of three types of cleansing products: facial cleansers, skin toners, and makeup-removing liquids.
Facial cleansers are generally used after the removal of makeup or dirt to thoroughly clean the face but not remove moisture. Skin toners are similar but they have astringent qualities to tighten pores, while makeup removers may use ingredients such as mineral oils and detergents to dissolve oil-based cosmetics.
Facewashes typically contain an exfoliating agent such as ground walnut shells or jojoba beads because dead skin cells can clog pores and lead to infection.
Why Your Skincare Routine Might be Missing Something Important
The skin is the largest organ on the human body and it takes a lot of work to keep it healthy. For some people, this might include adding a face wash to their routine.
Some people believe that in order for their skin to be healthy, they need a face wash and moisturizer. However, does that mean that they are missing something?
When you think about skincare, there is more than just your face that needs to be taken care of. The rest of your body- especially your neck and décolleté- needs just as much love as your face.
This article explores what you might be missing when it comes to your skincare routine.
Find the Right Face Wash for You
Not all skin is created equal, and so it can be difficult to find the best face wash for yourself. In this section, we will go over a few different kinds of facewashes that might work for you if your skin has been having some troubles.
The first thing that you should know about facewash is what kind of skin type you have, because the use cases for each person are drastically different based on this category. If you have dry skin, then a good facewash to try would be Skintelligence® Hydra Derm Deep Cleansing Emulsion which offers soothing and moisturizing benefits to the skin. If you have oily skin or break-outs, then the only kind of facewash that can help combat these things is Benzoyl Peroxide like Timeless Prescription® 3-Step Acne Control System because it helps eliminate offending agents and excess oils on your face.
