A face wash is an integral part of a healthy daily skincare routine and using the correct face wash that suits your skin type is an essential part of your beauty regimen. While there are several face washes available today, some claiming to be natural and Ayurvedic, not all face washes are created equal.
Ingredients such as Neem, Chandan and Bitter Orange Peel that are revered in Ayurveda for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make a well formulated Ayurvedic face wash score way above a regular face wash you can buy at a supermarket.

Look at the ingredient list. First, check if the ingredient list is provided in full. Pay special attention to words such as ‘Base Q.S.’ or ‘cleansing base’ on the label. Also, check if only three to four ‘key’ ingredients are mentioned. This indicates that all the ingredients of the product have not been disclosed and the product could contain harsh foaming agents and/or parabens.
Secondly look for beneficial Ayurvedic ingredients in among the list of key ingredients. These could be ingredients such as Neem, Aloe Vera, Orange Peel, Honey etc. Also avoid face washes with SLS, SLES and other harsh foaming agents being used in them.

The Just Herbs Neem and Bitter Orange Cleansing Face Wash is ideal for oily/combination skin that is prone to breakouts. It balances the oil production and cuts down excessive sebum.

There are plenty of face washes available in India that simply aim to cleanse your skin but are loaded with harsh surfactants that also dry and irritate your skin in the process. Some of them are completely chemically derived and just a mere glance at the ingredient list is enough to know of their chemical composition.
But what makes things more complicated are the face washes that label themselves as Ayurvedic and yet use harsh surfactants such as SLS, SLES or preservatives such as parabens to make sure they lather upon application. Most do not mention the ingredient list in full on the label often using terms as ‘Base Q.S.’ and ‘cleansing base’ to hide all the harsh ingredients being used in the base.
If you come across such a product, do demand a full ingredient list and make sure that the product is free from SLS, SLES and parabens at the very minimum.

If you’re looking at something more contemporary, practical and modern then a mildly foaming Ayurvedic face wash such as the Neem and Bitter Orange Cleansing Face Wash is ideal.
