Before You Forget to Cleanse Your Face …
Tired from a busy day? Did you come in and clean your face? You forgot. Before you forget to clean your face, think about the dirt and debris that’s building up under the layers of your skin.

Not all cleansers are created equal. Typically, Soap is not one of those cleansers recommended for your skin. Soaps have a tendency of drying your skin and stripping it of its natural oils. That’s not the result you want. You want a cleanser that will be mild and gentle on your skin. One that will cleanse without causing trauma to it.
