Why is washing your face so important? Pollution in the air can be extremely unpleasant and can magic itself into minuscule particles, tiny enough to lodge themselves into our pores!
Result? The natural oils of your skin which also act as a protective barrier, are destroyed. This leads to Collagen breakdown, cell damage, aging, irritation, excetra, excetra, excetra!
In short, even if you cleanse your face, it’s super essential to wash your face at least twice a day. There are loads and loads of products available on shelves. The best bet will be to choose a product which has minimal soap but extra cleansing.
I’ve listed a few of my favourites here to make it easy for you to make a choice.
Neals Yard Remedies – Orange Flower Face Wash
I love the NYR products. They smell soooo good and are just a bunch of lovely pure natural and organic products. This one has natural neroli oil, distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree, soothing calendula and cooling aloe vera, it refreshes your skin, without drying it further. Super gentle and completely organic.

Sephora – Ultimate Warming Cleanser
This is one of the Sephora Hero Product for me. It’s diffrent from the other face washes, yet feels so right. My skin loves this face wash! It’s like a portable sauna for the skin, this cleanser warms upon contact with the skin to open up the pores and quickly eliminate impurities. Ever so gently, the skin is left clean and perfectly cleansed. Brilliant!

Lush – Buche de Noel cleansing roll
This product doesn’t fall in a particular category but is a fantastic cleanser! This blend of softening almonds, cleansing kaolin, and nourishing festive fruit is tender and feels amazing on the skin! It gently buffs and brightens, while cocoa butter ensures your skin stays soft.

Human+Kind – Wash Off Facial Cleanser
I like how rich and chemical free this cleanser is. This has a proper lather and feels fab on the skin with its creamy formula. It comes with a FREE deep-cleansing cloth which helps to gently exfoliate without irritation. The cloth is re-useable and machine washable. It’s one of those products which you keep coming back to!

Neutrogena – Hydra Boost – Gel Cleanser
This is one of the newer ranges that has caught my fancy and has me hooked still! Remember the Hyaluronic Acid bit that I wrote about in my previous post on micellar water? You could read it here! Any ways, Neutrogena is one of my all time favourites! There is always a Neutrogena on my bathroom shelf.

Nivea – Cleanse and Care Face Wash
This is a new entrant on the shelves. Not the brand, the range. The brand is trusted and loved from ages! Nivea has that familiar smell and a very moisturizing feel to all its products. I feel loved when I use these!

There is just one more thing that I need to add here in this particular post.

- Apply your favorite cleanser. Wet the LUNA 2 and activate its Cleansing Mode.
- Gently glide the LUNA 2’s cleansing surface in circular motions over your face for 1 minute.

You will love this addition to your cleansing routine.
I loved reviewing these facial washes and writing about them! I hope this post helps you choose the correct face wash for yourself! Don’t forget the Foreo Luna!
Until Laters…
