With regard to facial cleansing, it is preferable to use the mechanical action of gentle massage and scrubbing with a natural exfoliant, than to use the grease binding chemical action of detergents and soap.
Used on moistened skin with a gentle massaging action, skin scrubs will clean without destroying your natural oils, leaving your face soft and clean but not tight and dry.
it is also possible to use oils and butters to cleanse, these work on greasy dirt and make-up very well.
