Face wash has become an essential in our daily routine. Heading out with a fresh face makes us confident about whatever is in store for the day 💪🏼
Especially when most of us have some form of acne or pimples, it makes it necessary to have a specific routine to cleanse our face before we leave our houses. However, it does make one wonder how people cleaned their faces before there were soaps, serums, and face washes. 🤔
You wouldn’t believe how it all began. Ancient people used stones to scrape off dead skin cells! 🪨 I can’t even imagine the effect it must have had on their skin. After the stones, they started exploring plants. They used plant materials like plant ash to cleanse their hands 🌱
A lot of modern products make use of a variety of plants and herbs 🌿 They are quite useful in order to tackle issues like acne, pimples, and pore blockage. If you look back at the history of acne, there is significant proof that the Pharaohs had acne. Topical remedies were found in their tombs 🛕
These issues became a driving force to research further about a product that worked towards a healed face. The earliest sign that people made soap is as old as 2000 BC, found in Sumerian clay tablets. Phoenicians used animal fat and tree ash to make soap by 600 BC. Soap as a cleansing agent was recognised only after the first century 😲
The complete details of the soap-making process were published in 1775. The first wrapped soap bar was made in 1884 by the English. That’s the same year the Oxford Dictionary was first published 📖 and Carl Koller invented local anaesthesia 🤕
Since then, soaps as cleansing catalysts have seen major improvement and innovation. Some of these ancient practices can still be seen today. In fact, innovations like wristbands for face washing, face washing brushes, creams, specific face wash for acne, etc. have taken hold in the market.
Face wash and cleanser have become two different things, and each fulfils its purpose. Plants and herbs are used to make products that help maintain soft skin. Rough coffee and sugar grains are used to exfoliate dead skin cells.
Pink Clay to Detoxify
Sensitive, dehydrated, sun-damaged skin can heal with the consistent use of a facewash that contains pink clay. It absorbs excess oil and de-clogs pores. Marsallime offers a Pink Playa Facewash and Scrub that contains not just pink clay, but strawberries and hibiscus too. Utilising plants and their goodness, strawberries help restore Vitamin C in the skin while exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, and hibiscus makes your skin supple by protecting it against pollutants.
The combination of the three makes Pink Playa a deep cleanser that is suitable for all skin types. Heal your skin by being kind to it 🌷
