Today I am going to talk all about facial cleansers! Most people use a cleanser and most people end up trying out many different ones in order to find the one that's just right for their skin. But behind the unique aspects that make people pick one cleanser over another, there are common ingredients that make all of them work the same general way. Today I am going to explore what makes them work and what extra step you should be taking to keep your skin healthy and beautiful!

Cleansers are basically used to clean off all of the oil, dirt, and makeup that clogs your pores. Some people use their cleanser as their makeup remover and some use a separate makeup remover, its all a personal preference, but the general idea is to remove unnatural or irritating substances from your skin.
Cleansers do just about the same thing as soap and detergent, but in a much gentler way that isn't harsh on one's skin. Cleansers work by breaking down big substances on the skin (oil, dirt, and makeup) into much smaller ones that are easily washed off. The difference between traditional soap and a cleanser is that cleansers are typically made with synthetic detergents which, while cheaper and easier to make, are also much gentler on the skin. Soaps contain ingredients that easily make the skin dry and irritated. Cleansers, while they still contain some of these ingredients, contain a much smaller amount in order to keep dryness and irritation to a minimum.
If you use a cleanser, you should always take the extra step of moisturizing your skin afterwards. Since there are drying effects of cleansers, adding moisture back into your skin is the best way to treat it after you've removed the harmful things. Think of it as taking out the bad and replacing it with the good!
Hey! I think I just accidentally included a life lesson into this post! Cleanse your life by taking out the negative things in it and then make sure to moisturize it by adding in some positives!
Much love,
Rachel
