The Face Shop Facial Cleanser
So, in exfoliation 101, we learn that grainy scrubs are magic, and anything from mud and silicone to rice can be especially rejuvenating to the skin. That might be true, but for people with sensitive skin, exfoliation might a tad tricky, and even counterproductive. That is where the face shop facial cleanser comes in.
This cleanser is a rice water-based face product that contains microbeads which are mild exfoliates with the potential to brighten skin complexion.
The face shop facial cleanser is what you need if your skin is overdue for a pore detox and you would like to even out your skin tone. It works as a foam cleanser, makeup remover, and just a good old moisturizer since it manages not to dry out or stretch the skin – ultimately you’ll be left with slightly brighter skin, and unclogged skin pores. One thing users might be wary of however is the presence of potassium hydroxide but considering its minute quantities and the presence of Stearic acid, you might not have much to worry about.
