The reason why choosing a certain facial cleanser tends to give us all headaches is the fact that there are too many of them, all promising pretty much the same things, and
they leave us clueless on which to rely on, right in front of the filled shelves of the stores.
After all, the problem is still important, since our facial skin is daily put under tremendous stress and harmful actions. It can be the weather, the pollution, the cosmetics
we use or the stress we release through all our pores, but all these can only harm this sensitive part of our body so we could at least make some efforts to clean it twice a
day.
Naturally, in order to do so, one needs to know how many types of skin there are and which one does he or she has.
Long story short, the normal skin is properly balanced regarding durability, moisture and oil secretions, an oily skin is obviously secreting too much sebum, the dry skin
is itchy and feels tight, the sensitive one will often have allergic reactions when getting in contact with chemicals and there are also people less fortunate who have a so
- called combination skin, which can be dry in some face areas and oily in other areas.
Now if you have an oily skin, which is the most likely to cause you acne, you should be looking for products based on water or for non - comedogenic cleansers. If you find
something with benzoyl peroxide , salicylic acid or even the natural tea tree oil, you should
definitely try it, as it will help you with reducing the breakouts. Just make it a foaming or a gel cleanser.
For a dry skin, facial cleansers based on creams are perfect, preferably with rose hip or olive oils. Whatever you do, avoid using bar soaps because they can only make your
skin even drier.
Sensitive skin is even more difficult to take care of, since it requires products without alcohol, without fragrance and definitely without too much sodium or sulfur.
Anything based on glycerin, aloe vera or honey is more than welcome.
Last but not least, if you feel like your skin has an aging tendency, do your best to find a facial cleanser with retinol, glycolic, hyaluronic or hydroxyl acids.
Such acids are supposed to better clean the dead skin cells and make wrinkles less visible.
If you are curious about what other options do you have when it comes to taking care of your skin, you should be glad to find out that soaps, lipid free cleansers,
cleansing creams, abrasive scrubs, woven meshes, face cloths, cleansing pouches and even face brushes are available on the market. The only problem would be for you
to get to know every single one, understand its main features and functionality and see whether it is really appropriate for your facial skin or it will make your
acne worse.
Finally yet importantly, do not forget that cleaning your face should be just a part from a more developed daily ritual, to also include a toner and a moisturizer.
Now you should be ready to go choose the right facial cleanser for you.
