Traveling is a must for most of us. Due to industrialization and other reasons, the pollution has increased to such an extent that it has effects not only on our inner body but also our skin, including the face. Everyone of you must have experienced the layers of dirt and dust on the face at the end of the long tiring day. Only soap is not sufficient to clear it. Face wash can be a good substitution to the regular soaps. Face wash helps to cleanse the face by removing dirt and also moisturizes it. Compared to soaps, face wash contains less chemicals and that is why it is a better choice. There are different types of skins like dry skin, oily skin, sensitive, etc. Face wash should be chose according to the skin type. There are also special face washes for acne. Following are a few homemade face wash recipes for all the skin types.
