Why Do We Need to Use Face Wash? 

Cleansing is the primary and most important step of a skincare regimen. Every day our face is exposed to dirt, pollution, and impurities that settle on the skin if not washed properly. We don't realize how these impurities can cause various skincare concerns and make your skin look uneven and dull. Effective cleansing helps remove these impurities while keeping it balanced, toned, and refreshed. But which product you must use for cleansing, the face wash or traditional bar soap, is another topic worth your attention and consideration. 

Which Cleanser Is Better? Face Wash Or Soap? 

Face washes are the latest entrants to the personal care domain but have almost replaced traditional bar soaps. The reason for their popularity is their refreshing impact on the skin. Face washes contain high water content that cleanses the skin without stripping your skin's natural oils. 

Frequent sun exposure and heat lead to moisture loss on the skin, and abrasive chemicals in soaps dry out your skin even more. Face washes have moisturizing ingredients that keep your skin healthy, soft, and smooth. They promote hydration levels on the skin and soothe dry skin, improving its look and feel. 

On the other hand, soaps have a high pH level that disturbs the skin's pH level and can cause dryness. The result of dryness is increased itchiness that leads to a myriad of skin issues and accelerates the aging process. So, if you want your future skin to stay resilient and look youthful for a long time, chose a gentle face wash with natural ingredients that suits your skin type.  

Benefits Of Face Washes

Comforts Acne-Prone Skin

The key to calming acne-prone skin is in your daily routine. Acne occurs when dirt buildup, excess oils, and dead skin cells clog the pores, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Keeping your face clean and washing it at least twice a day prevents impurities from settling on your skin and causing pimples. 

We recommend Acnex Scar Wash for comforting acne-prone and itchy skin. It uses peppermint oil, oregano oil, balm mint, and orange extract, along with vitamin E for visibly clear and soft skin. This face is carefully-made to preserve the skin’s natural oils while supporting exfoliating for reducing the look of scars and discoloration. Use it twice daily to get a visibly clear and even-toned complexion. It is suitable for daily use of all skin types. 

Soothe Irritation and Itchiness

Itchy skin is an uncomfortable condition that makes you want to scratch your skin. When you scratch your skin, it can cause irritation, redness, bumps, allergies, and scars. Scratching the skin can also lead to breakouts, which is an entry point for infections. Itchiness can get worse with dryness and makes your skin appear lackluster and discolored. 

The right face wash not only gets rid of impurities and dirt but also hydrates the skin to avoid dryness and dullness. Botanic Hearth's Tea Tree Face Wash with Mint has purifying tea tree oil properties and hydrating properties of mint combined. This gentle cleanser soothes the skin and supports the barrier function for a youthful and glowing complexion. It deep cleans the pores and draws out the excess oils without leaving the skin feeling tight and flaky.  It suits all skin types.
