HOW TO CHOOSE CLEANSER?
Do you know that cleanser is important?
Regular cleansing is essential to keep your skin look radiant and healthy.
It helps anti-aging products and treatments work properly. If you have pores, cleansing helps to maintain proper pore size.
Hydration? Yes, cleansing encourages proper skin hydration and prevents the production of excess oils.
Penting ya cuci muka setiap malam sebelum tidur. You need to remove anything that you applied on your face, tak kira lah sunblock ke apa. Especially if you wear makeup. Please lah cuci muka dan jangan tidur dengan makeup masih ada. Tak sayang kulit? Do you know that cleanse skin every night can remove impurities, dead skin cells and excess oil.
A morning cleansing is also important as it removes any toxins and refreshes the skin. But please don't over cleanse your face. Only cleanse twice a day.
You might think that washing your face is like grab any cleanser and go, right?
Not exactly.
It's better to find one that works best for your particular skin type with ingredients that are good for your skin rather than harsh and drying. When your skin has just one problem such as excess oil production or dry patches, it's easy to figure out which products work best for you. But when you have both oily and dry skin which is combination skin, that's when things get challenging.
Remember, not all cleansers will work for your combination skin because you need a sophisticated balance. Some cleanser might over-moisturize your oily parts and other might not be strong enough to hydrate and smooth your dry parts, which ends up causing more problems instead of solving them.
Cleansing is always the first step to any basic skin care routine.

- fragrance and irritant free
- won't leave skin feeling sticky or dry after rinsing
