Cleanse Your Way To Younger Healthier Skin
Cleansing your skin correctly is probably the singularly most important exercise you can do to keep your skin healthy. It’s not just about soap and water. As a matter of fact, using bar soap can damage your skin and cause breakouts.
We are so lucky to have a range of skincare products to keep our skin healthy and looking younger than our true ages.
I make sure I take advantage of all the products that have these essential nutrients and natural chemicals to promote good skin maintenance.
One of the key elements in facial cleaners is Glycolic Acid. For those of you wondering what Glycolic Acid is, it’s a colorless, translucent, crystalline compound, C2H4O3, that occurs in cane sugar, unripe grapes, and sugar beets and has numerous industrial uses.
This colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic crystalline solid is highly soluble in water. It is used in various skin care products. It has the smallest molecules in the group so is able to penetrate our skin deeply and easily, making it the most effective for treating fine lines, acne, blackheads, dullness, oiliness, etc.
This is why I use NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash every day. It’s one of the best on the market and I love the foaming action. It feels so amazing on my face.
It reacts with the top layer of skin, breaking it down by dissolving sebum and other substances that bind cells together. Using Glycolic Acid causes the dead skin cells to be sloughed away revealing smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin. It’s also a very effective acne treatment.
Using Glycolic Acid makes skin more sensitive to the sun so it’s very important to wear sunscreen whenever using any sort of AHA to avoid pigmentation and further damage.
Even if you don’t use products with Glycolic Acid you should be wearing sunscreen daily with at least an SPF of over 20 anyway!
If you are using bar soap to cleanse your skin, you can be doing a huge disservice to your skin and can cause the following problems.
- After-wash tightness (AWT)
- Dryness
- Damage to the barrier function of the skin
- Redness
- Irritation
- Itching
That’s why it’s so important to cleanse your face with the right products. I’ve discovered a cleanser that worked beautifully for me, and you all know how much I love sharing what works for me with you!

NeoStrata Company, Inc. NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash looks good. I love care taking of my skin, and this looks like I’d add it into my skin care routine!!!! Thanks for a great blog post.
So much great information here. I love when you introduce me to new brands and products!
I love a foamy face cleanser! A lot of info to consider in this review.
Great educational article. I use it, but not daily…my skin would come off.
Thanks for the detailed product review. My step-mom worked in a salon for years. I should point this out to her. She’s more aware of the features / issues than I am. (But I this is a good primer to get me started!)
Wow, those pictures show a big change. I had never heard of NeoStrata and appreciate your thorough review.
Hi Elin, it’s really an amazing cleanser. It’s part of my skincare routine from now on! thanks much and have a great week!
Another article I enjoyed. I heard it’s a nice product for those who have keratosis. Shower with it to wash away dead dry skin cells and follow up with a glycolic body lotion (like Glytone). Keep up the great work.
This is definitely one I want to get Carolann. I picked up the 10 Miracle leave-in hair conditioner you previously recommended and love the results.
Love your reviews on things so informative. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks to you Anj! I always love seeing your smiling face <3

Love the products you share with us! This one looks like a keeper.
thanks Heather! It’s so amazing and my skin has been loving it! Have a great weekend!
It is always better to apply products that are dermatologically tested since the skin, especially facial skin is very sensitive, rather than using low quality products and being sorry later. I am very impressed with the results of this range I must say! This is something I would definitely recommend to my friend.
Hi Eliza, I can’t tell you how fab it’s been for my skin. I agree. We have to be mindful of what we put on our skin. My skin has never looked better since I’ve been using this product. Thanks much for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!
