A good cleanser should be an essential part of any woman's natural skincare regime, an expert has said.

This is the view of facialist Nichola Joss, who told women's lifestyle site All About You that having a good cleanser is "essential".

She explained there is no way to avoid exposing skin to sweat and harmful oil, dirt and pollution in the course of a day, but that cleanser could help to remove it.

Using a cleanser on tired skin can help it to stay "looking fresh and to help avoid breakouts and accelerated ageing", she added.

Women looking for an organic solution to help the skin look its best could consider Weleda's Almond Cleansing Lotion, which is designed to gently loosen dirt trapped in pores without causing any irritation.

A writer on Anderra, a site which reviews natural beauty products, said Weleda's cleanser "is so gentle and doesn't leave my face feeling at all stripped".
