How do you choose the right cleanser for your skin type?
Read on to learn about the different types of natural facial cleansers, from gel and cream to enzymes, foam cleansers, and more, to find out which works best for your skin. 1. OIL CLEANSERS Oil-based cleansers remove oil-based contaminants (think excess oil, blackheads, dirt, and grime) from your pores. And nothing beats an oil-based cleanser for total makeup removal. They can come in liquid forms, known as cleansing oils or cleansing balms, which have a thick, sherbet-like texture that dissolves into an oil once you start rubbing it into your skin. Oil-based cleansers are often followed by a water-based cleaner. Our Face Cleanser is an oily cleanser with an innovative formula that rinses off easily with water. It contains Grape Seed Oil, Almond Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Vitamin E to nourish the skin's lipid barrier while cleansing, leaving it soft and supple. 3. CLEANSING CREAM If you have dry skin, you can use a cleansing cream. These are designed to nourish the skin barrier to leave your face feeling smooth and supple after cleansing. People with dry skin often complain that foaming cleansers leave their skin dry and tight. You can avoid this by using a cleansing cream! 4. FOAM CLEANER The cleansing foam is best for oily skin. They contain surfactants that bind excess sebum and oily impurities on the skin and pull the dirt out of the pores. However, they can feel a bit dry sometimes, so we don't recommend them if you have dry skin. 5. EXFOLIATING CLEANSERS Exfoliating cleansers are exactly what their name suggests: cleansers that also contain an exfoliating agent to remove dead skin during cleansing gently. Exfoliating cleansers can be enzymatic cleansers that contain exfoliating enzymes that only act on the skin's surface. Or they may contain exfoliating hydroxy acids like glycolic or lactic acid that works by breaking down the "glue" that holds skin cells together. Or they may contain sugar-like exfoliating granules that physically exfoliate the skin. Exfoliating cleansers also come in various textures, ranging from thick, creamy formulas to exfoliating gels or even enzyme powders that activate when emulsified with water.
How to choose a cleanser according to your skin type
Normal Skin: If you have normal skin, consider yourself blessed, your skin does not dry out. That doesn't mean you can skip your cleaner. Clean skin is compatible with other skin care products that penetrate the skin better and work their magic. A textured facial cleansing lotion is an ideal option for you. Combination Skin: The benefits of sensitive and combination skin create an ultra-gentle cleanse. Some common characteristics of combination skin are oily T-zone and drier skin around the skin. Therefore, this skin type needs a powerful cleanser for the oily parts and a gentle one for the dry parts. Foam or gel-based cleaner will do the job effectively. Balances the pH of the skin between cleansing and increased hydration. Oily Skin: If you have oily skin, welcome to the world of enlarged pores and a glowing complexion. This is all caused by excessive sebum production. For this skin type, choosing a cleansing gel is ideal as it removes excess sebum without irritating the skin. Look for ingredients like aloe Vera and tea tree oil, which provide clarity, balance pH, and prevent breakouts. Dry Skin: Dry skin is often itchy, scaly, or tight. For this skin type, a cream-based cleanser with moisturizing ingredients and fatty acids should work best. They remove dirt and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils and leave your skin hydrated and nourished.
