facewash

Morning sink ritual

A facewash is a cleanser formulated for the face, gentler than body soap and designed to remove oil, dirt, and makeup without stripping the skin: I use a gentle facewash morning and night.

In hockey and lacrosse slang, a facewash is the act of shoving a gloved hand into an opponent's face, usually after a whistle—an antagonizing gesture rather than a serious attack.
