HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FACIAL CLEANSER? With so many products over-the-counter, sometimes we get overwhelmed by lots of options. Some do not know how to choose which cleanser is the right for their skin or they just simply don’t know the difference between all of them. To choose a suitable product, we need to recognize first what type of skin we have, taking into consideration our skin color and the pH of the products that are available.
Mixed and Oily Skin
You can choose a gel or foam with ingredients like green tea, salicylic acid and mint. Gel cleansers offer deep cleansing, they are great in treating clogged pores and these usually have exfoliating and antibacterial properties too. But if you like a more creamy or foamy consistency, foam cleansers are also an option, these work almost the same as gel cleansers. Clay cleansers, like the charcoal ones are good in absorbing oil from your skin, including your pores. There are also some cleansers made of special fabrics like cleaning wipes and sponges, but some of them need to be combined with specific products.
Sensitive skin
You need a gentle cleanser like the synthetic detergents, these are the best options for this type of skin, also you can choose milk cleansers or micellar water. Avoid soap with alcohol and with artificial scent.
Acne problems
Facial cleansers with antiseptics like salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide are the best options for people with acne problems. When being treated by a specialist, you can opt to get products made especially for you.
Dry Skin
Hyaluronic acid is the secret for this type of skin. You can look for cleansers with Hyaluronic acid combined with Vitamins A and E. Micellar cleansers are great for this skin type, you do not have to remove this cleanser after applying it. Make sure the cleanser do not remove the natural oil of your skin, because if they do, this is a sign that the cleanser has a big amount of artificial ingredients.
Oil Cleanser
If there is one type of cleanser that can be used in most skin types, it is this one, it is gentle and and is amazing in removing waterproof make-up.
