Using some soaps can dry out and strip the skin
of its natural oil, (called sebum which is there to
protect and moisturise our skin), this can even
lead to an increased production in oil to com-

It is important to clean away the dirt accumu-
lated on your skin, but to also keep it in good
condition. The answer is to use a face wash or
body wash that will cleanse and also balance
the skin, morning and night.
