If you have dry skin,
avoid a cleanser that is too aggressive or that contains drying ingredients
like soap – choose something that won’t strip the skin.
For oily skin, avoid
anything too heavy that will sit on your skin or too stripping. Either of these
options can increase oil production.
For sensitive skin,
choose a gentle formula made with natural ingredients like peppermint. Look for
something creamy to soothe and not strip sensitive skin.
If you have normal
skin, you have the benefit of being able to choose a cleanser designed for any
specific skincare concerns you may have. Combination skin gives you a wider
range of options as well, though you’ll do best with something that clears away
oil and grime without stripping your skin’s natural moisture.
Once you’ve chosen
your cleanser, the next step is learning how to use it properly. Here are some
simple tips for washing your face properly:
-If you like to double
cleanse, you can start with a micellar water and a cotton pad to remove as much
of your makeup as possible.
-Wet your face with
lukewarm water and apply a small amount of cleanser to your fingertips.
-Rub your fingertips
together to spread the cleanser then apply to your face, using circular motions
to massage it into your skin.
-Massage the cleanser
into your skin for at least 30 seconds for the best results then rinse with
lukewarm to cool water.
-Pat your skin dry
with a clean towel but do not rub or scrub.
-Apply your preferred
skincare products in the following order: toner, serum, eye cream, acne spot
treatment if needed, moisturizer, sunscreen.
Knowing how to
properly wash your face is only part of the equation – you also need to choose
the right cleanser. When shopping for any skincare product, it is important to
know your skin type and to select a product formulated for that skin type, so
you don’t make your skincare concerns worse.
