Taking care of our skin on a daily basis is a crucial task for a glowing and healthy face. Throughout the day, our skin is exposed to dirt, excess oil, pollutants, and viruses. Moreover, during summer season, our skin becomes dry because of the absorption of its moisture by the sunlight.
We think that the makeup remover that we use is enough to get rid of all the impurities. However, relying on this face product only doesn’t help you remove all the dirt. It therefore necessary to use a face cleanser for a deep cleansing. Regular facial cleansing has actually many benefits: boosts skin hydration, keeps your face radiant, removes dead skin cells, and improves firmness and elasticity of your skin. It is really essential to clean your face before applying any cream, so your skin absorbs all the nutrients and vitamins.
Each skin type needs a specific face cleansing. Here are some tips to help you choose the best product for your skin.
Face cleansing for dry skin
Dry skin is known for its thin textures, fine pores, and early aging signs. It is therefore necessary to use a face cleansing with a moisturizing texture, compromising ingredients like almond oil, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. You should choose a face cleansing free from soap to avoid dehydrating your skin even more. Opt for a cleansing milk; it cleans your face deeply, moisturizes it, and controls the balance of fluids.
SHISEIDO - Extra Rich Cleansing Milk
LA MER - The Cleansing Milk
Face cleansing for oily skin
If your skin produces too much oil, leading to a greasy surface and acne, you need to choose a face cleansing that helps in reducing the oiliness, and removing all dirt and makeup debris. Opt for a product composed of natural ingredients like clay, enriched with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or zinc, with a gel texture to avoid clogged pores. The chosen product should also be paraben, soap, and fragrance free to avoid skin irritation, acne and blackheads.
LA ROCHE-POSAY - Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
Face cleansing for normal skin
Lucky are the ones who have a normal skin, since they can opt for any facial cleansing, whether it has a creamy, gel, liquid, or foamy texture. Choose the one that will give you a radiant and fresh look, while moisturizing your skin and reducing aging signs.
CHANEL- LA MOUSSE - Anti-Pollution Cleansing Cream-To-Foam
Face cleansing for combination skin
Combination skin is characterized by the Zone T, which is an oily surface (the forehead and the nose), along with a dry area. It is therefore preferable to choose a creamy or gel cleanser that will clean and purify your skin, since it acts on the greasy part of your face without affecting negatively the dry area. Go for a cleanser compromising hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E, to get rid of extra oiliness and acne, along with preventing clogged pores.
CLARINS - Gentle Foaming Purifying Cleanser
Face cleansing for sensitive skin
A fragrance and alcohol-free cleanser is the perfect choice for sensitive skin. Opt for a product composed of natural ingredients that will help you remove your makeup gently, while purifying your skin and controlling the balance of fluids. The face cleanser should comprise organic chamomile, aloe, or soy proteins to sooth your skin, along with chia butter that will moisturize your skin. Avoid choosing a cleanser containing peeling granules that can cause redness.
