If your skin tends to feel shiny or congested by midday, we recommend reaching for a foaming formula like the Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, which helps remove excess oil without leaving skin feeling tight or stripped. For those dealing with visible pores, the Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser with Amazonian White Clay is another brilliant option that draws out impurities for a clearer-looking complexion.

The choice between a foaming and cream facial cleanser typically comes down to your skin type. Foaming cleansers tend to work well for oily and combination skin because they help lift away excess oil and impurities, while cream cleansers are generally better suited to dry or sensitive skin as they cleanse without stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier.

A facial cleanser removes makeup, excess oil, pollution, and impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. By clearing away this buildup, cleansers help maintain a healthy skin barrier and allow your other skincare products to absorb more effectively. We recommend cleansing twice daily to keep your complexion fresh and balanced.

A facial cleanser is designed for daily use to gently wash away dirt and oil, while a scrub contains exfoliating particles that physically buff away dead skin cells. Cleansers maintain your skin's cleanliness without disruption, whereas scrubs like our Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub are typically used 1-3 times per week for deeper exfoliation. Think of your cleanser as your everyday essential and your scrub as a weekly treat.

We recommend washing your face twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Your morning cleanse removes overnight oil and prepares skin for your daytime routine, while your evening cleanse is essential for removing makeup, SPF, and environmental pollutants. If you have particularly dry or sensitive skin, you may find a water-only rinse in the morning works well.

Most skin types benefit from exfoliating 1-3 times per week, though sensitive skin may need less frequent sessions. Over-exfoliating can compromise your skin barrier and lead to irritation, so we recommend starting slowly and adjusting based on how your skin responds. If you're using a chemical exfoliant like our Daily Refining Milk-Peel Toner, you may need to reduce physical exfoliation accordingly.

A face scrub can cleanse your skin, but it serves a different primary purpose than a daily cleanser. Scrubs are formulated with exfoliating particles to remove dead skin cells and are meant for occasional use rather than everyday cleansing. For your daily routine, we recommend using a gentle facial cleanser and reserving your scrub for 1-3 times weekly.
