The Importance of Cleanser

It is not a hidden fact that our skin attracts dirt and oil. Dirt can get inside our  pores and block them if it’s not cleaned properly. Everyone has different skin. Some have oily skin, some have dry skin and some have combination skin.

Dermatologists suggest that every individual should use a cleanser according to their skin type. If the cleanser does not suit your skin, it can cause several issues such as dryness and increased oil production. Buildups can allow bacteria to penetrate your skin.

Benefits of using a cleanser-

A cleanser removes dirt and dead skin cells from your skin. If you use the right cleanser it will also maintain the ph balance of your skin. When your skin has been cleaned it let other products get deeper into your skin.

How to use a cleanser?

Some experts say that washing your face once a day is enough whereas some suggest that washing your face twice a day is more beneficial. We would like to take a side with cleaning your face two times a day. But washing your face more than that can strip your skin of natural oils. It will make your skin very dry. It can also trigger other skin conditions which we certainly want to avoid.

You should choose a mild cleanser. A harsh cleanser can disbalance the ph balance of the skin. Use a cleanser while putting less pressure on the skin and in a circular motion. Focus on the areas that feel dirtier.

How to choose a cleanser?

If you have oily skin choose an oil control cleanser. If you have dry skin choose a hydrating cleanser, and if you have combination skin choose an ‘all skin type’ cleanser.

If you wear makeup make sure to remove it before going to sleep. Your pores need to breathe. It is also a good idea to give your pores something yummy after having that makeup all day long, something like a hydrating serum.
