We are well aware that part of skin care is removing makeup before going to sleep at night. The face takes quite a molecular beating each day. Our faces brave the elements, from heat to cold, from wind to rain, and what's worse is that we touch them with our dirty hands throughout the day. Cleansers pretty much handles the job for us, not just by removing the makeup we have on but also by removing dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and other types of pollutants or germs that may clog our pores.
We usually use a toner and moisturizer after cleansing, but we all know that cleanser pretty much handles majority of nighttime skin care. This is more than enough reason to encourage us to look for a perfect cleanser. If you choose the right facial cleanser (or combination of cleansers), your face will regain a more youthful and healthy appearance. But how do you choose? When choosing facial cleansers, there are as many options to choose from as there are that many faces to be cleaned. You are probably either confused or frustrated with the amount of cleansing creams, lotions, pads, soap bars, gels, scrubs, and self-foaming cleansers that are available in the market today.
Before you can find the right facial cleanser for you, first you need to know what skin type you're going to work with. Most of us never really think about what type of skin we have, just that sometimes it's dry or oily. But everyone has a basic skin type, and having this knowledge will help you determine what type of cleanser your skin needs. Using the wrong cleanser for your skin type can make matters worse by further contributing to dryness, irritation or oiliness. Try finding out what skin type you have with the guidelines below:
- Normal skin: This type has a proper balance of moisture and oil.
- Oily skin: If your face looks shiny, greasy or oily a few hours after washing it, you probably fall under this type.
- Dry skin: Dry skin has facial pores that are hard to see a few hours after being washed.
- Sensitive skin: This type often feels tight or itchy, and experiences allergic reactions and flushing when put into contact with certain chemicals. If you fall under this type, you definitely need to make sure your cleanser will be compatible with your skin.
- Combination skin: If some parts of your face are oily while others are dry or sensitive, then you have combination skin.
