Homemade Cleansers That You Should Try
Cleansing is an essential part of the skin care routine. All of us must have definitely heard this term when it comes to our everyday beauty regime but a very few of us know how important this step is.
Exfoliating, cleansing, toning and moisturizing are the four basic steps that are essential for a healthy skin. Cleansing is basically cleaning your skin by removing excess dirt that exfoliation couldn't do. It helps in maintaining the pH balance of our skin by shrinking the pores and keeping the skin ready for the last step, that is, moisturizing.
