I actually planned to do 2 posts for Treatment and Non-Treatment Cleansers but later made it into a single post so that you guys can have a look at all the products in a single post and choose accordingly based on your requirement.So sorry this one is going to be a lengthy post but I have tried my best to make it into a clean and concise format.Also do check out the product reviews which have been linked to the respective posts.I have basically divided these face washes into 2 categories:

• Non-Treatment Cleansers are from 1-9: 

These are mild,neutral and gentle face washes without AHA/BHA's which are meant to cleanse skin thoroughly without causing any dryness.These are great options if you are looking just for normal cleansers or if you are on acne treatments creams/ acne regimen like Metrogyl acne regimen, Epiduo acne regimen etc and looking for neutral cleansers which only cleanses thoroughly without causing additional peeling/dryness.

• Acne Treatment Cleaners are from 10-16: 

These cleansers are basically targeted towards acne treatment and contain AHA/BHA's like Salicylic acid,Glycolic acid,Tea Tree oil etc.If you have oily it acne prone skin,I would definitely recommend these cleansers as they provide skin exfoliation and treat pimples,blackheads.

5 Advantages of Mineral Makeup over Regular Makeup

This is a guest post from Pauline from Young Blood Cosmetics.

Minerals were popularly used as makeup ingredients by ancient Egyptian and Roman women.Around the 1970s, when cosmetic companies were mandated to disclose their ingredients to consumers, a list that revealed toxic chemicals in alarming proportions shocked the public. This made many health-conscious women look for alternate sources of makeup, and that's how natural minerals (and natural makeup) reappeared on the dressing tables of modern women.

Mineral makeup is loose or pressed powder consisting of naturally occurring inorganic materials such as bismuth oxychloride, boron nitride, mica, talc, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. The main advantage of mineral makeup is in what it lacks than in what it contains. It does not contain binders and waterproof ingredients that stick to your skin, causing bacterial skin infection. Here are 5 advantages of mineral makeup over regular makeup.

Hi Everyone,

Today I wanted to take break from product reviews and after long time to deal with one of the Acne Basics posts.With Acne,there is no short cuts to treating them nor do home remedies help.You have to understand,Acne is a bacterial infection and a hormonal problem,a much deeper and proper acne treatment is required to fix the problem like Topical treatments like Retinoids,Benzoyl Peroxide,Glycolic acid,Salicylic acid(AHA/BHA's) or Clinical treatment procedures like Chemical Peeling,Mirco-dermabrasion etc.But lets get real,none of the medications come without side effects.Same is the story with acne treatments,as well.The side effects include-dryness/peeling/flakiness,acne purging,redness among others.Most of them panic when they notice these side effects and get discouraged easily and give up on the acne treatments.So in this post,I will discuss on how to deal with these side effects,minimise them and in parallel treat your acne as well.
