Since you are cleansing your face everyday, day and night, it is important to find the right cleanser for your face that will perfectly fit you. Here are great tips on how to choose the right facial cleanser, that will not only, deeply cleanse your skin from all its impurities, but will also give it an healthy and radiant glow on a daily basis.
Why should I get a cleanser specifically for my face?
You need to know that the skin on your face is a lot finer, and more prone to dryness and imperfections, than the rest of your body; your facial skin grain is fine, has more pores and sebaceous glands than the rest of your body.
Choose your facial cleanser according to your skin type
As we have mentioned it before, choosing a cleansing product that fits with your skin type is more likely to result in an healthy, smoother skin that is less prone to dehydration. You most certainly turned to an “all-in-one” product recommended by friends, that will moisturize, exfoliate and cleanse your skin. You could not be more mistaken. Find a product that is adapted to your skin type will limit the damage and will improve your skin’s appearance in no time. Here are the products that you should look into:
Normal/mixed skin:Soap-Free micellar water or cleansing foam
Our recommendation : Cleansing Foam
Oily Skin :Foaming gels without oil or soap or micellar water
Our recommendation : Purifying Cleansing Gel
Dry Skin :Cleanser in the form of a moisturising make-up remover.
Our recommendation : Hypo-Sensible Skin Cleanser
Sensitive Skin : Over-oily hypoallergenic cleanser with moisturizing agents.
Our recommendation: Dermo-Cleanser Intolerant Skin
Another recommendation, take a look at the ingredients’ list below, to make sure you avoid them; your skin will only be grateful.
- Mineral Oils :Generally coming from oil (paraffinum, petrolatum), these substances put a water-repellent film on the skin and prevent it from breathing properly.
- Sulphated Detergents (everything that has sulphate in the ingredients)These foaming agents get rid of the “good oil” and take off the barrier that retains the hydration of your skin.
An important detail to remember: even if your cleanser does not foam, it does not mean that it doesn’t clear your skin. Make sure you always apply your moisturizer after your cleanse your skin.
