Cleansing VS Cleanser

That is, what are the differences between cleansings and cleansers, what are the different types and when should we be applying these products. Let’s jump right in!

What is Cleansing and remover?

Cleansing is a facial care product for removing makeup also known as a makeup remover.

Mainly, it’s function is to merely remove cosmetics and makeup. For those who apply makeup or sunscreen regularly, cleansing is recommended as the first step in order to wipe off the products before starting to wash your face.

This is because many cosmetics and sunscreen products are waterproof. Therefore, if you do not wipe your face thoroughly with Remover, dirt and cosmetic traces can build up and get clogged in pores causing acne as a result.

What Are the Different Types of Cleansing?

There are many different types of Remover that you can go for depending on the characteristics of your skin such as:

Cleansing Milk: Suitable for Oily Skin

Due to its light and dry texture, this type of cleansing does not contain oil and therefore suitable for those with oily skin.
