Face Wash Guide: How to Choose One for Your Skin Type

Face wash is the most used product in your routine, so it is worth choosing well. The rule: it should clean, and your face should not feel tight afterwards.

By skin type

• Oily or breakout-prone: a neem-based wash like Neem Face Wash.
• Dry: a creamy, mild wash, used once a day.
• Combination: a gentle gel wash twice a day.

How to wash

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Use a coin-sized amount and massage for 30 seconds.
3. Rinse well and pat dry.
4. Moisturise right away.

Common mistakes

• Washing more than twice a day.
• Using very hot water.
• Scrubbing hard with a rough towel.
