The cleanser is the first step in a skincare routine and since it is the foundation, it is so important to get this step right. There are so many options when it comes to facial cleansers. These options can make the process of choosing the right cleanser for your skin so overwhelming. If you are wondering how to go about shopping for the most appropriate facial cleanser, here are 3 top tips you might find very useful.
Tip 1 – Understand your skin type
Choosing the right cleanser for your skin starts with you understanding what your skin type. It helps you pick cleansers with the ingredients your skin needs. You don’t want to go for a cleanser just because it is popular with beauty content creators, instead you want to choose the right cleanser that best suited for your skin. For instance, if you have a dry skin, you would want to try oil and cream based cleansers as they are more hydrating. While, if you have an oily skin, you would want to try foam cleansers as they are more lightweight and remove excess oil effortlessly. Understanding your skin type is the first step in getting your skincare routine right and picking the most appropriate cleanser. What is your skin type?
Tip 2 – Go for gentle cleansers
Like with everything skincare, always opt for gentle cleansers. Using harsh skincare products are never a good idea, especially for those with more sensitive skin. It is always best to go for gentler and more natural products that would do only good. Always check the ingredients before you buy a new cleanser or any skincare product, and make sure you are happy with all that is included. Which cleanser are you currently using?
Tip 3 – Try double cleansing
Double cleansing is a beauty tip I have recently really gotten into and I am loving it! It is simply using 23 different types of cleansers to cleanse the face or using the same cleanser twice to ensure the face is properly cleansed. I use an oil based cleanser and I follow up with a water based facial cleanser. Double cleansing works great for me and it is definitely a cleansing tip I would highly recommend.
