The best way to cleanse your face is the gentlest way; use a rinse-off cleanser and forget about soap - its pH is too high.Cleansing skin care also gives a healthy glow to the surface of your skin. A high pH (alkaline) soap will dry the skin and diminish its life expectancy. The skin's surface is mildly acidic, having a pH of around 5. Most soaps are well over 7, and some as high as 10. Soaps with a high pH will not only dry the skin but also eliminate its acid mantle (coating on the surface). Unlike soaps, Cleansers remove makeup and dirt, but leave the skin feeling silky and supple. Cleansers basically consist of oil, water and surfactants. The oil dissolves the oil on the face; the surfactants dissolve everything else; water washes it all away. The best Cleansers also contain natural botanical extracts to soothe, protect, nourish and moisturize the skin. Be sure to choose a Cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type and condition. One of Feierabend's best cleansing skin care products is featured below: Breakout Buster Cleanser $12.95! Begin by washing your hands first, otherwise you will merely be working additional dirt into the skin. Then, splash your face generously with tepid to slightly warm water. Spread a nickel-sized dollop of Cleanser into your palm or onto a soft cotton washcloth. Using fingertips or washcloth, gently wash face using circular and upward motions. Wash for approximately 30 seconds for Dry skin, 60 seconds for Normal or Combination skin and 90 seconds for Oily skin. Then rinse, rinse and rinse again with tepid to slightly warm water. Any residue left behind can have a drying affect. It’s not too much to splash your face 21 times and drench the sink in the process – your face will thank you for it! Pat (do not rub) face dry with a clean towel. Cleanse face daily in the morning and evening. "Finally...a facial cleanser that actually works!"
