Washing your face is an art, and you need to take it very seriously, if you don’t want your skin to feel like the Saharan desert or the wetlands of Cherrapunji. Now before we start sounding nonsensical to you, we will come to the point, but before that, ask yourselves a few questions. How do you purchase a cleanser? Do you just pick any brand that is trending on TV, or do you bother to check the ingredients to find out if it would suit your skin? You need to answer this question honestly, otherwise no one would be able to help you. Who knows, your skin might be undergoing unimaginable torture because you picked a wrong cleanser. Every cleanser is not the perfect one for your skin. Just like no two skin textures are similar, similarly no two cleansers are the same.
