How many times a day should I wash my face?

Ideally 2x a day - morning and night. DON'T do it more than that because it can dry out your skin and actually cause it to produce more oil.

Do I need to double cleanse every day?

Double cleansing is a MUST at night if you wear makeup or sunscreen. In the morning, a single cleanse or even just rinsing with water is enough.

What's the difference between foam, gel, and cream cleansers?

Foam/gel are better for oily skin because they provide a more thorough cleanse. Cream/milk are gentler and better for dry or sensitive skin.

Cleanser / Facial Wash

A facial cleanser is the first and most important step in your skincare routine. The right cleanser removes dirt, makeup, and oil without leaving your skin dry or irritated.

🎯 Cleanser Functions

✓Cleans away dirt, dust, and pollution from the skin
✓Removes makeup and sunscreen residue
✓Cleans excess oil without stripping
✓Preps skin to absorb the next products
✓Keeps skin pH balanced

🛒 How to Choose the Right One

Choose based on skin type - gel/foam for oily, cream/milk for dry

Check the cleanser's pH (ideally 4.5-6.5) so you don't damage your skin barrier

Avoid SLS/SLES if you have sensitive skin

Go for fragrance-free if your skin is sensitive

Double cleanse if you're wearing makeup or sunscreen
