All You Need To Know About Choosing A Facial Wash

Have you ever struggled to decide which type of facial wash would be best for your skin. There are many different types to choose from, the bar, a liquid, an oil.... Below we will go over two different types of facial cleansers- the pros & cons. 

Beauty Bars (Bar Soap)

Personally, as the owner of the company, I would prefer most of my customers to use a bar soap. Here are MY reasons why:

• They last longer
• They are more ecofriendly
• They are customizable
• Less expensive in the long run. 
• They take up less space & it is easy to have lots of different bars for whatever your needs might be. 

Some cons that I could give?

• Using a bar soap has a learning curve
• If you use it too much, your skin can get dry
• Some customers need more education before using bars
• I usually recommend that customers have some type of facial moisturizer to use along side of the bars. 

​
Other experts say that bar soap is better for sensitive skin because it actually balances the pH of the skin. With natural, handmade bar soaps they are usually made with minimal ingredients & have beneficial oils to hydrate, cleanse, and soften the skin.

Liquid Soaps

Here are the reasons I offer liquid soaps for my customers:

• Customers want the feel of similar commercial products without all the yucky ingredients
• Customers find that they don't need to hydrate as often with facial moisturizers
• They are good for white heads & skin that is naturally dry. 

Some cons?

• It costs more in the long run
• They take up more space
• More ingredients that you could be sensitive to
• To our liquid soaps, we have to add thickeners (unless it is the foaming facial wash)
• These are harder to customize for different skin needs than the bar soaps. 
• Sometimes they can throw the pH of the skin off. 
• Not always great for blackheads

Some experts will tell you that liquid is more gentle to the skin than bar soaps. The jury is still out on that. Some of the studies were done with commercially made bar soaps, not natural, handmade bars. 

When it comes to choosing ...

a facial cleanser, it is important that you check out all of your options. What type of skin do you have? What are the needs of your skin? What ingredients are you sensitive to? Do you know what ingredients are in the product? Check the reviews of the products!
