Do You Know What Type Of Cleanser To Use?

These days the skincare beauty industry brings facial foams, washes, bars, and gels, making it challenging to know which one to use. Using the right cleanser is vital as they are the foundation of a healthy skincare regimen.

Cleansers’ main job is to remove the dirt from excess sebum to dead skin cells, but without damaging the pH balance of the skin and the skin barrier.

An excellent skincare routine usually involves washing the face two times daily: in the morning and at night. It is also a fantastic idea to give a quick cleaning after the gym or whenever you sweat a lot.

Importance Of Cleansing Your Skin

There are two primary reasons to cleanse your skin. The first one is for removing makeup, dirt, and pollutants from the day. The second one is to help with acne and aging. Even though cleansing is essential, it is important not to overdo it.

You need to find a cleanser that does not make your skin feel tight and dry. Also, it is critical to know your skin type and lifestyle.  Always choose a cleanser for your skin type and lifestyle, rather than a branded bottle.

If you have dry skin, look for a moisturising cleanser, such as a cream, foam, lotion or milk cleanser. For oily skin, choose oil-free products and make sure they contain salicylic acid to remove excess sebum, such as COSRX Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser. 

If you have sensitive skin, do not use cleansers with acids, fragrances, dyes, and other harmful ingredients.

Gel Cleansers

Gel cleansers are transparent and have a gel-like consistency. They are usually designed for deep cleansing, as they are effective at unclogging pores, removing excess oil, and fighting acne-causing bacteria. They have antiseptic and exfoliating properties.

It is recommended for oily and combination skin.

An excellent option is COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser made from highly beneficial Tea Tree Oil that is widely used to refine the skin. It would remove excess oil and dead skin cells. Your skin will feel soft, moist, and refresh after using this gel cleanser.

Foaming Cleansers

These types of cleansers remove makeup, and they provide a foaming action leaving your skin soft. A lot of people prefer foam cleansers as they love the feeling of lather.  

It is recommended for combination to oily and acne-prone skin of any age.

Cream Cleansers

Cream cleansers contain natural oils mixed with water to calm down skin inflammation. One of the features of cream cleansers is that they may not need water as you apply them to the skin and then wiped off to have the cleansing effect.

They are widely used as they can seal in the moisture and nourish the skin.

Recommended for: sensitive, matured, or dry skin. Also, for those struggling with rosacea as they can effectively clean your skin and soothe the redness.

Please take note that if you have acne-prone or oily skin, you should not use cream cleansers.

You can try BANILA CO Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm, which offers three uses for the price of one: removes makeup, cleanses the skin, and provides moisture to rejuvenate and hydrate.

Bar Cleansers

Soap bar cleansers are excellent at getting your skin clean. They do an excellent job of removing dirt, oil, makeup, and any other impurities.

Keep in mind that because they usually have potent ingredients, they can remove too much oil from the skin leading to dryness.

If you use soap bars, you need to make sure to follow up with a moisturiser such as SOME BY MI AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Cream to hydrate the skin.

You can try SOME BY MI AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Cleansing Bar which can be safely used on sensitive skin and acne-prone skin to help optimise your skin’s health.
