Choosing a facial cleanser

Water-based cleansers: These mild, herb-infused, water-based cleansers softly bathe and freshen up the skin, leaving it bright and dirt-free. While water-based cleansers may not take away makeup as well as a soap- or oil-based cleanser, they are perfect for those with a dry or sensitive skin type, where a soothing rinse is all that is desired. Nourishing and mild botanical ingredients, such as floral waters, herbs, tinctures, fruit juices, apple cider vinegar, and even honey, can all be added to your custom-made formula.

Soap-based cleansers: Containing a natural surfactant, usually liquid Castile soap, these cleansers free the skin of pore-clogging impurities, makeup, and oily sebum accumulation. Soap-based cleansers are effortlessly personalized to suit each skin type’s specific needs. You can add particular ingredients such as clay for a deep cleanse; sugar or almond meal for an exfoliating cleanse; detoxifying essential oils can be added for those with blemish-prone skin; Aloe vera can be included for those with dry skin; and plant oils such as jojoba oil can even be added for dry skin types.

Oil-based cleansers: These are formulated with nutritious plant oils and beneficial essential oils.

Oil-based cleansers are concentrated and do not

contain any water. They are superb for removing

stubborn makeup—even eye makeup! They

can transform parched, mature, and sensitive

skin into softly cleansed, supple skin.

Even oily skin types can use an oil-based

cleanser with perfect results.
