Chapter I: Introduction and Literature

Introduction
People of different ages, skin types, and individual characteristics can get acne. To get rid of it, people tend to touch it and put
all sorts of products on it and because of that they end up putting the wrong products on the skin. The products may not be fit
for the skin type they have; it may dry or irritate the skin. According to Mandal (2018), other factors include genes, hormonal
changes, especially in adolescents, and it being a side effect of certain drugs like steroids.
Literature
It’s important to know what products you use, especially your soap. Different soaps work for different people. There are also
different factors when it comes to your soap, facial wash, or cleanser’s effectiveness, like your skincare routine. Beauty expert
David Pirrotta (2016) says that “the goal of any skincare regime is to moisturize, protect, and repair.” If your skin care routine
does not follow this, it may affect the effectiveness of your soap. It may also damage your skin and lead to even worse
breakouts.

Chapter II: Methodology

Two types of popular commercial cleansers will be used on an individual with oily skin. One will be a cleanser with chemical
ingredients, while the other will be one with organic ingredients. First, the face will be splashed with water using the hands.
After that, a pea sized amount of the chemical facial cleanser will be applied and will be lathered on the right side of the face
for 2 minutes and will then be rinsed thoroughly away using water. Then, a coin sized amount will be used on the right side of
the face and will be rubbed for also two minutes, then rinsed away using water. The face will then be patted dry using a face
towel. The individual on whom the cleansers were tested on will then take a picture of her face to document the effectiveness
of the cleansers used.
