Cleansers are very important skincare products because most cosmetics and environmental pollutants which land on the skin cannot be removed by washing with plain water alone since they are not water soluble. Using a well formulated cleanser removes these substances from the skin together with sweat and excess oil.
Cleansers are especially important for acne treatment because the excessive oil on the skin contributes to clogging of the pores and acne breakouts. Cleansers therefore have an important role to play in the treatment and prevention of acne vulgaris as well as other skin conditions.
How to Use Cleansers on your Face
To use your cleanser and cleanse your facial skin effectively do the following:
1.Wash your hands
2. Wet your face
3. Apply the cleanser to your hands, add a little water and work it into a lather.
4. Gently massage the cleanser into your face using your fingertips.
5. Rinse off the cleanser.
6. Pat your skin dry.
