Men's Face Wash - Australia

Great skincare begins with a great face cleanser, and although no two faces are the same, choosing a cleanser shouldn’t be hard, and should be matched according to one's skin type and ideally be used day and night. All cleansers are unique and host a slew of unique benefits, and we invite you to discover our all-encompassing range.

Why is it important to use a face wash?

A face wash effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin, preventing clogged pores and breakouts. It also prepares your skin for shaving and helps maintain overall skin health.

How often should I wash my face?

Generally, you should wash your face twice a day—once in the morning and once at night. Additionally, wash your face after heavy sweating or working out.

Can I use regular soap to wash my face?

It’s better to use a face wash specifically formulated for facial skin. Regular soap can be too harsh and may strip your skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

What ingredients should I look for in a face wash?

Look for ingredients like salicylic acid for acne control, glycolic acid for exfoliation, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and natural extracts like aloe vera or tea tree oil for soothing properties.

How much face wash should I use?

Use enough product to cover your entire face and provide a thorough cleanse.

Should I use a different face wash in the morning and evening?

It’s not necessary, but using a gentle face wash in the morning and a more targeted one (like an exfoliating or acne-fighting formula) at night can be beneficial.

Can face wash help with shaving?

Yes, using a face wash before shaving can soften facial hair and prepare your skin, leading to a smoother shave and reducing the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.

Which cleanser is best for me?

Those with oily complexions should look to foaming cleansers with clay, tea-tree, and acids in its composition to effectively remove pore-clogging dirt and oil. This also helps manage breakouts and reduces the redness of inflammation. The Daily Face Wash from MenScience is a favourite. 

Dry skin types in contrast require gentle, creamy cleansers to maintain the skin’s moisture balance, such as Anthony's Algae Facial Cleanser

For sensitive skin, seek minimalist cleansers without too many active ingredients.
