Do madrileños wash their faces?

Upon our arrival to Madrid, an arduous quest was thrust upon Yasmin and I. It would involve long hours, conversing with many natives, we would need to become entirely aware of our surroundings and we would need strong, willing hearts to survive.

The quest which we have undertaken is to not be taken lightly- as we seek a facewash.

Since we arrived, we have spent hours looking for something that we can wash our faces with. We have tried farmacías (which by the way, only sell drugs- a Boots wouldn't go astray), perfumerías, supermercados, droguerías, little Chinese shops and even Lidl.

We cannot buy facewash anywhere. The only one that we've found is a Clearasil one- which I can't use because it strips the skin from my face so I'm just left with a gaping black hole where my face should be.

Last night I decided to make my own wash and threw a little something together with mint, olive oil, lemon juice, sugar and a pinch of salt. My skin feels lovely and dewy.

The homemade face wash will last a while, so that's part of our problem taken care of.

However, it still begs the question, do Spaniards wash their faces? And if so, what the hell do they use???






This is what happens when you don't have facewash.
