Have you ever had the experience of buying a cleanser and then finding it is all wrong for your skin? If you have then this article is for you, it will give you some advice and tips on how to choose a cleanser that will work perfectly with your skin.
Before you even think about picking a product it is important to know what skin type you are. If you are not sure you can get a skin analysis from a beauty salon. Alternatively you can work it out yourself. The best way to tell is to wash your face and then dab dry. Do not apply any other products to your skin and leave your face for a couple of hours. Then take a tissue and place over your whole face and gently remove.
You now need to analyse the tissue to determine how much oil appears on the tissue. If there is a lot all over you have oily skin but it there is only oil in the T-zone then you have combination skin. If there is very little oil and your skin does not feel tight then you have normal skin and if there is no oil and your skin is tight you have dry skin. If you have sensitive skin you will probably know and will have experienced uncomfortable reactions to many products.
Now let‘s look at each skin type and determine what you need:
Oily Skin
If you have oily skin then you find your skin tends to produce excess oil which means you can be prone to spots. It is important to buy a cleanser that is specifically for oil skin and they will help to clear out the pores and reduce outbreaks.
However it is important to get a cleanser that will properly clean your skin. Something like a gel or a clay cleanser will work well. Stay away from cream cleansers, even if they are for oily skin as these will not have the effect you desire.
Combination Skin
If you have combination skin you will find that most of the skin on your face is either normal or dry. However you will still have excess oil production across the t-zone of your face. So it is important to use a cleanser that will reduce the oil production across the t-zone but still be gentle on the rest of your face.
We would recommend using a foaming cleanser or possibly a gel. These types are generally quite soft on your face but will help to reduce oil production.
Normal Skin
If you have normal skin then you have quite a steady flow of oil, although you may find your skin gets slightly dry in the winter. We would recommend buying a foaming cleanser to keep your skin fresh. If you get a little dryness in the winter you can tackle this with a slightly thicker moisturiser.
Dry Skin
If you have dry skin then the most important thing is to return moisture to your skin. This is to prevent the signs of aging that you can often get with dry skin. You are best to use a cream based cleanser if you have dry skin as these will help to add moisture back into your skin rather than strip it.
Sensitive Skin
It can be quite difficult to find a cleanser if you have sensitive skin but you are best to stick with natural products if possible. You can try products that are rich in aloe vera, lavender or chamomile. These can help to soothe the skin and also create a barrier to protect the skin from the elements.
If you are not sure about your skin or what type of cleanser you should be using, consult a professional and get as much advice as possible.
