Hello IMBB ,
I am Sana , I am a regular reader of your blog, & it always brings a smile on my face. Today I am going to ask something because IMBB is the best place for getting the proper information..
CTM is the key to a healthy skin. Please let me know the difference between a face wash & cleanser.
can I use face wash instead of cleanser or I can use the both. Can I use a face wash before the cleansing toning moisturizing routine..

For oily skin, it is better to use a (anti-bacterial) facewash/ foaming cleanser to remove excess oil and kill bacteria. In CTM, the cleansing doesn’t really exclude face wash anyway. It can be part of the cleansing step, along with a cleansing milk specially for make up removal.
Hope I’ve helped! 🙂
O Sana let me say that even i sincerely followed CTM routine only after my stint with IMBB… *powder* *powder* *powder*

Sana, I believe that facewash is compulsory in CTM routine. *oye balle*
Cleansing is a method of clearing the dirt, oil and clogged pores. Use a good facewash for this in the morning.
Basically cleansers and face washes are similar except that cleansers are usually cleansing non foaming lotion which help to remove makeup and dirt and freshen up skin without the foam and water.
It doesnt give you the squeaky clean feel unlike facewashes.
Facewashes are usually to remove dirt and oil and are foaming. Most facewashes don’t remove makeup effectively.
So this is what I prefer:-
1. Morning routine is foaming facewash> toner > serum > moisturizer > sunscreen > makeup
2. Evening routine is cleanser to remove makeup, follow it up with facewash to remove all traces of dirt and oil then follow it up with a toner and night cream.
My CTM routine on daily basis is cleansing my face with Joy skin fruits apple face wash, then toning with Ayur skin toner and then moisturising with ponds age miracle day or night as per the time. 🙂 I use Nature’s essence sunban 40 sunscreen before going out.For scrub i use VLCC diamond scrub thrice a week. *preen*
