If you have dry or sensitive skin you should use a face cleanser. Soaps tend to be drying and can leave an alkaline residue on the surface of the skin which tends to cause irritation and interfere with the skin's ability to retain moisture.

Because the heat from a hot shower tends to release your pores, it's a good idea to use the Pore Cleanser either during or just after a shower or bath. You should always remove makeup, lotion or soap from your face before using the Pore Cleanser. This ensures that your pores are as accessible as possible.

Surgical Steel rings must be highly polished and must have been passivated, which is an acid cleaning process.
