It gently cleanses, smoothes, removes makeup, extracts dirt from your pores, and helps condition and balance your skin. Best Budget:. Best Foaming:. Because it foams up, it has a rich lather that rinses away with ease. Best Organic:. Best for Acne:. Currently undergoing a resurgence in the skin care community, these cleansers are, as the name suggests, powdery and soft when dry but disintegrate into a creamy paste when combined with water.
This concoction thoroughly cleanses your skin while gently exfoliating and, unlike physical exfoliants with beads that scrub the skin, these powder cleansers glide smoothly across your face.
Another good cleanser seeing a recent upswing in use is bar cleansers. But this new breed of bar often contains little to no soap at all, providing a luxurious and skin-friendly cleanser similar to that of their liquid counterparts. These bars often have a more balanced pH level and contain nutrient-rich, highly moisturizing ingredients like essential oils. Depending on the type of cleanser you choose to use, you may also decide to incorporate the use of a cleansing tool.
These add-ons to your cleansing experience may help you get a deeper clean while providing some exfoliation. Cloths, mitts, and sponges, for example, are made with special fibers of varying origins. Some are even made from plant-derived materials which may not even require the use of an additional cleanser as they can thoroughly remove impurities on their own in addition to removing dead skin from the surface of your face.
These tools include muslin cloths, kessa mitts, and konjac sponges. Another option that has been gaining in popularity are electric face brushes. A cleansing device like an electric brush not only reduces some of the manual labor that cleansing your face requires, but may help to tighten your pores, firm your skin, and boost the overall radiance of your complexion. An important note if you do decide to add a cleansing tool into your routine: clean it! So whatever tool you decide to use, be sure to carefully read and follow the care instructions to keep it in prime condition.
There are a lot of opinions on the proper way to cleanse your face, but generally speaking, there are a few basic steps which you should follow in order to thoroughly clean and prep the skin for any following products. Start by removing your makeup and other surface dirt from your face.
Whether you choose to use a makeup remover, micellar water, cleansing wipes, or a cleansing oil does not matter. Simply choose what works best for your skin and is able to gently wipe away your makeup, particularly any waterproof products, and other debris so your skin is ready to be washed.
Most combination skin types do well with gel-based or mildly foaming cleansers. For sensitive skin : Glycerin is a key ingredient to look for in cleansers for sensitive skin.
Glycerin improves and protects skin by filling up the intercellular matrix and also helps in building an even skin structure. It attracts just the right amount of moisture required to hydrate skin, but it is gentle and has no side effects, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin types.
Since sensitive skin is prone to irritation, be sure to opt for odor-free products. Its renewal powers also slow down and it starts producing less collagen and elastin. Due to these factors, fine lines can start to develop, skin tone can turn dull and skin can begin to obtain a rough texture. Another common problem for this age group is increased skin sensitivity or conditions like rosacea. Sobel recommends gel cleansers for anyone with acne or oily skin. Just like gel cleansers, cream cleansers are pretty much exactly as they sound—very creamy and lush in texture.
They work hard to gently cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Foam cleansers are pretty much in between gel and cream cleansers, which makes them great for combination skin types. They start out as cream or gel and burst into a rich, foamy lather. This type of cleanser removes excess oil as effectively as gel cleansers.
The oil from your skin works together with the cleanser to balance the skin.
