Face Cleansing and Moringa Facial Cleanser 

It's still summer, although you’ve religiously applied your SPF every day -- even if you’re just inside the house -- have you also cleansed your face every day like your life depends on it? 

Keep your face clean is a phrase that goes beyond our teenage to adult life. This is one of the few phrases our mom reminded us when we were young which then resonated with us until we’re grown ups. However, the busyness of adult life is far different than just frolicking around when we were kids, there are times we just hit the sack with full make up on because we just feel so tired. Yikes! Guilty as charged! 

Especially during summer, there are tons of activities to do during the day that drain our energy, making us forget to cleanse during the night. 

Benefits of Face Cleansing: 

When you go out or just go on with your day, your face is more likely to pick up dirt, bacteria and pollutants, especially when you wear makeup everyday. In addition to that, dead skin cells build fast as well. Go on a day or two with no cleansing and you can see how the build up in your pores turn into breakouts and more. 

1. Removing Build Up

• The most common benefit of facial cleansing is removing build up dirt and other unwanted debris. As we mentioned, throughout the day your skin will accumulate a lot of dirt and build up dead skin cells. Cleansing your face regularly will remove these impurities, giving you a clean, radiant and fresh looking face. 
• Boosting Hydration

• Facial cleansing regularly will also help the skin maintain a proper level of hydration by managing PH level and enabling sufficient water and product retention. 
• When to know if you have dehydrated skin? If your skin looks and feels rough, wrinkled and aged then it means your skin is dehydrated.
• Maintain Clear Skin

• Have you ever experienced waking up with a small red bump on your face? At first, it was barely noticeable, so you just didn’t mind it at all and continued with your day. However, on the second day, it started getting bigger--and oftentimes, it’s  painful as well. Then eventually you started to get conscious of your face, you put on layers of concealer to hide it and tried different treatments just to get rid of it. 
• No one likes acne, but if it’s there, what can we really do? Depending on its severity, it can also affect someone’s mental state, causing emotional distress and slowly deteriorate one’s confidence.
• When you don’t do facial cleansing everyday, excessive build up on the surface of your skin will cause blockages of the follicles, trapping the sebum, sweat and dead skin cells. Blockage of sebum on the skin will cause bacteria to penetrate the follicle which causes inflammation.

How do cleansers work? 

“The normal pH of the skin is between 4.5 and 6.5. When you cleanse your skin, there is an interaction that occurs between the cleanser, the skin’s moisture barrier and the skin’s pH. Soaps contain harsh surfactants that can alter the skin barrier and increase skin pH—increasing the potential for dryness and irritation. Soap-free gel, cream and foam cleansers are formulated to be as effective, but gentler, causing less disruption to the skin barrier and minimal change to skin pH.” - Neostrata 

Why go natural? 

Now that you know the importance of facial cleansing, you might be confused on which cleanser to use. The skincare market is really saturated, there are a lot of products available, but we encourage you to choose an all natural plant based cleanser. Why? 

1. There are no pesticides residues: 

• You come in contact with chemicals during the day, when you use natural cleansers you will reduce your exposure to those chemicals. 
• There are no synthetic ingredients:

• One thing you can be sure of when you opt for a natural cleanser is there are no synthetic ingredients. These synthetic ingredients may be a potential cause of allergic reactions and even eczema. 
• Natural products are often from more sustainable sources: 

• Using natural products can help you improve your carbon footprint and reduce your impact on the environment because natural and organic farmers are more committed or more likely to use a sustainable method of agriculture.
• Free of harsh and harmful chemicals

• If you ever wonder why your face feels dry after face cleansing, that is because traditional face wash contains harmful and harsh chemicals that are stripping your skin. 
• Improves the health of your skin

• The harmful chemicals may cause more harm than help you improve your skin barrier and heal your skin. Opting for a natural facial cleanser can help you heal your skin naturally and you are assured that the ingredients are safe aside from hydrating and soothing.
