Cleansing is the FIRST step in your proper daily skin care regime. Cleanser is used to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, dirt, and other types of pollutants from the skin of the face. This helps to unclog pores and prevent skin conditions such as acne.

How to use?
Wet your face with water and take a small amount of cleanser to fingertips and apply in a circular motion to face and throat to gently exfoliate. Rinse thoroughly with water. Pat your face dry with towel. Follow with Toner and Moisturizer.

Why applying Soap to face is not recommended?

Using a cleanser to remove dirt on face is considered to be a better alternative to bar soap because of the following reasons:

• Soap has a high pH (in the area of 9 to 10), and the skin's surface pH is on average 4.7. This means that soap can change the balance present in the skin to favor the overgrowth of some types of bacteria, increasing acne.
• Using soap on the face can remove natural oils from the skin that form a barrier against water loss. This causes the sebaceous glands to subsequently overproduce oil (sebum), which will lead to clogged pores.

It is mentioned that Balancing Cleanser removes excess sebum. By the way what is Sebum?

The sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in the skin that secrete an oily/waxy matter, called sebum. Sebum lubricates and waterproofs the skin and hair of mammals. In humans, they are found in greatest abundance on the face and scalp, though they are distributed throughout all skin sites except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The sebaceous glands deposit sebum on the hairs, and bring it to the skin surface along the hair shaft. Sebum keeps hair and skin supple.
