Natural Face Wash

Due to industrialisation, development and other similar reasons the pollution levels have increased greatly, causing a number of new health problems. Our skin is one body part that gets most affected by the exposure of our body to the pollution. Come back from the traffic, wipe your face with a wet towel and you will see layers of dirt and dust on your face. Only soap is not enough to get rid of all the dust and to get back clear skin. Face wash can be a good substitute for regular soaps. Face wash helps in cleaning the face by removing dirt from the pores and also by moisturizing the skin, which soap is incapable of doing. However, though less, face wash also contain some amount of chemicals that might prove to be harmful for your skin if used regularly. The face wash you choose should not only contain minimum amount of harmful chemical contents but should also fight back various skin problems that you confront.
