Cleanser & Face Wash
The first step towards healthy skin begins with a thorough cleanse. The correct cleanser can be your skin’s best ally, effectively purifying it by removing impurities, excess oil, and makeup residue without compromising its natural moisture barrier.
The best cleansers go beyond the surface, gently coaxing out impurities that can lead to a dull complexion or breakouts. Selecting a cleanser tailored to your skin - feeling dry, oily, combination, or sensitive - is crucial to ensure the product works synergistically with your skin’s unique characteristics.
Different types of cleansers
Various types of face cleansers cater to different skin needs.
Cream cleansers
Lush in texture, cream cleansers are ideal for dry or sensitised skin. Their gentle action retains natural skin oils, making them a perfect second step for double cleansing. They provide a soothing experience, leaving your skin feeling nourished and hydrated.
Foam cleansers
Foam cleansers generate a rich lather that removes excess oil. They are ideal for combination skin types or to remove layers of makeup. They effectively cleanse the skin, leaving it refreshed and balanced without stripping away essential moisture.
Oil cleansers
Oil cleansers work harmoniously with your skin’s oil, balancing the skin whilst removing pore-clogging debris. These cleansers are suitable for removing waterproof makeup without drying your skin and can help to maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. To ensure a thorough cleanse, it is typically recommended to follow up with a secondary cleanser to remove any remaining residue.
Milk cleansers
Milk cleansers offer a gentle cleansing experience, preserving the skin’s natural moisture balance. Ideal for sensitive skin, these cleansers provide a soft yet effective solution that not only cleanses but also soothes and hydrates.

FAQs
Can a face wash remove makeup?
Yes, a face wash can effectively remove makeup. However, for heavy or waterproof makeup, it’s best to use a specialised cleanser like an oil cleanser as the first step, followed by a regular face wash to remove all makeup residue thoroughly. This way you can ensure that your skin is left completely clean and minimise the potential blocking of pores and resulting acne.
What does a face cleanser do?
A face cleanser purifies the skin by removing dirt, excess oils, makeup, and environmental pollutants. It helps to clear pores, reduce breakouts, and create a clean canvas for other skincare products to penetrate more effectively. Regular use of a face cleanser can contribute to a brighter, clearer, and healthier complexion.
What’s the difference between a facewash and a face cleanser?
The terms 'face wash' and 'face cleanser' are often used interchangeably, but they refer to slightly different products.
A face wash is a foaming product designed to deeply clean the skin, removing excess oil, dirt, and makeup. It is often used in the morning to refresh the skin and remove the day's impurities at night.
On the other hand, a face cleanser can come in various forms, such as creams, oils, or milks, and is designed to gently clean the skin while maintaining its natural moisture balance. Cleansers are often more hydrating and suitable for a wider range of skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.
While both products aim to clean the skin, face washes are generally more suitable for oily or acne-prone skin, whereas cleansers offer a milder, more hydrating cleanse for all skin types.
How do you use a face cleanser properly?
To use a face cleanser properly, wet your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of the cleanser to your fingertips or a soft cloth and gently massage it into your skin in gentle circular motions, covering all areas of your face. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent irritation. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel. Use your face cleanser twice daily, morning and night, for optimal results.
