Here’s why facial cleansing powders can elevate your skincare game to the next level: they’re incredibly gentle and easy to use. Their super-fine texture makes for the best exfoliation, as they remove impurities, unclog pores and polish the skin without scratching its surface. They work on all skin types and are especially suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin that can’t stand the abrasiveness of regular scrubs. Exfoliating powders can also help control acne, fade acne scars which overall results in a brighter, even-toned, and smoother complexion.
How to use: If you are unfamiliar with facial cleansing powders, it might be a good idea to slowly introduce them to your routine, starting twice a week and increasing their frequency gradually. Mix the recommended quantity (1 tsp generally) with a few drops of water and rub it within the palms to get a creamy (not dripping) consistency. Now gently massage the face in a gentle circular motion. For best results, keep it on for 2 minutes before rinsing off. Though you must allow the product 2-3 weeks to show results, you can feel the skin instantly refreshed after the first use itself.
