In this blog, we take you through types of face wash and their benefits. From our innovative acne face wash to a hydrating formula that replenishes your skin’s moisture content – scroll ahead to make an informed choice. Before we get into specific skin concerns, let’s refresh our basics on face wash.

 What Is A Face Wash?

 Available in gel, cream and foam-based formats, a face wash is meant for deep cleaning the pores. A potent formula removes the most stubborn traces of impurities without hampering the skin’s natural pH. 

 What Are The Benefits Of A Face Wash?

A face wash has a flurry of benefits when used right.

1. It Ensures A Clean, Bright Surface: Using a face wash buffs away dead cells and debris on the dermis, ensuring a clean, bright surface. This also ensures healthy cellular regeneration overnight for rejuvenated skin.

2. Improves Blood Circulation: Using a face wash regularly improves the blood supply to the skin cells. This increases the collagen production in your skin, making it look taut and supple.

3. Keeps Pores Clean: Your skin bears the wrath of pollutants and other environmental aggressors on the reg. This leads to an unwanted build-up on the dermis which may clog the pores – further leading to whiteheads, blackheads or even acne. A meticulous face wash prevents clogged pores, keeping bumps and eruptions at bay.

4. Facilitates Better Absorption Of Serums/Treatments: Using a face wash cleanses the pores, ensuring better absorption of your serums/treatments.

5. Soothes Inflammation And Redness: Using formulations infused with Hyaluronic Acid,  Glycerine or more, offset inflammation or redness caused to the skin.

How To Use A Face Wash?

While there is no rulebook for using a face wash or cleanser, you can use these tips & tricks for the best results.

1. Amount: Use a coin-sized amount of your face wash and work it into a lather. Next, use a light hand and scrub your face gently for 30 seconds –  while being extremely cautious around the eyes/lips.

2. No Vigorous Rubbing: To reiterate, aggressive rubbing can be abrasive to the skin. It can strain your skin and should be avoided at all costs.

3. Double Cleanse: After 30 seconds, use cold water to rinse off. Cold water makes your skin look taut while minimizing the appearance of pores.

4. Never Overwash: Use your face wash only twice a day (during your morning and night time routine). Overwashing can expel natural oils from your skin, making it flaky and uncomfortably dry.
