Did You Know… TIP: Be sure to regularly clean and maintain your makeup items so they will last you longer, and keep you healthier as well. This also includes cleaning your brushes at least every month with a little dish soap or baby shampoo. Clean Up Your Face While there are different tools for face washing, most people use some type of soap. Even though some facial and body cleansers are made of most of the same ingredients, there are significant differences. Facial cleansers are milder on the skin because the surfactant they contain is milder than that of body cleansers. Some liquid body cleansers even have a harsher than usual surfactant, which manufacturers make up for by adding a good, but heavy, moisturizing system. That moisturizing system is based on the inclusion of emollients in the cleansing formula. Facial cleansers use different emollients, as the ones found in body cleansers leave behind a heavy, greasy feeling. These differences in formula contribute to why facial cleansers tend to be more expensive than body cleansers (very mild surfactants are more costly). http://dermatology.about.com/od/cleansingyourskin/a/facial_cleanser.htm) Don’t Forget Dad!
