Facial Cleansing
Clear, evidence-aware guidance to facial cleansing: choosing an appropriate cleanser, recognising over-cleansing, understanding rinse-off ingredients and setting realistic expectations.
Choose a cleansing question
A face wash should clean the skin comfortably, not promise a medical treatment or need to strip every trace of oil. Use lukewarm water, fingertips and gentle techniques; persistent pain or inflammation needs clinical advice.
