How to Pick the Best Facial Cleanser for Your Skin
Blemish-prone skin
Blemish-prone skin is double-trouble as skin can be dehydrated and oily at the same time. Pores can become clogged and breakouts can happen on the regular, and yet it can still feel tight and dry in other areas. A gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip away moisture is key! Use a gentle, soap-free cleanser to make sure you don’t dry out your skin. But don’t overdo it! Cleansing too harshly can mean skin becomes irritated and uncomfortable.

Dry skin
There’s sometimes confusion between dehydrated skin and dry skin, as the signs can feel the same. Dehydrated skin is where there’s water lacking in the skin, whereas dry skin is a lack of oil or lipids. When skin is dry, our lipid barrier is disrupted, and water can escape. The signs of dry skin? Think itching, redness, flaking, and tightness. The best kind of cleanser for dry skin is one that’s gentle and moisturising like a cleansing oil, or cream cleanser. Unsure if you’re dry or dehydrated? A good, moisture-balancing cleanser should help both.

Dehydrated skin
Dehydration can easily be relieved with the right products. If you can treat the signs of dehydration, skin sensitivity can decrease, too. It’s a win-win! When picking a cleanser for dehydrated skin try one with an instant boost of hydration that won’t wash away, and help rehydrate and combat the rough patches, tightness, and fine hydration lines around your eyes and jaw.
