How To Pick The Best Cleanser For Your Skin
You must be aware of the fact that the skin on your face is 100x thinner than the skin on your body. Since the facial skin is thinner, it is prone to damage and irritation. It’s imperative to invest in products and treatments that strengthen the epidermis- the outermost layer of skin- and nourish the inner layers too. While dermatologically approved treatments will work wonders, it’s not a feasible option for all. Investing in products that suit your skin type is an accessible and better option as it lets you customise skin care for better results.
Everyone dreams of blemish-free, glass-like skin. Little do we know that attaining what is advertised for ages is a vain feat. What one can aim for is skin that’s clean, healthy and glowing. Every skincare routine starts with choosing the right cleanser. A facial cleanser that cleans out your pores without causing any reaction or irritation is often difficult to find. Here’s a guide to help you figure out the best facial cleanser based on your skin type.
What Are Skin Types?
Based on genetics, external and internal factors, each human has a specific skin type. There are broadly four categories:
● Normal- You have blessed genes to thank if your skin type is normal. Normal skin has well-balanced sebum production meaning, your skin isn’t ‘too dry’ or ‘too oily.’
● Dry- Dry skin appears parched and flaky. You’d often feel tightness around your face with itchy patches if you have a dry skin type. This skin type has low sebum production resulting in dryness.
● Oily- People with overactive sebum production have oily skin. Their oil glands produce extra sebum that results in the shiny appearance of the face, enlarged pores. This skin type is most prone to acne.
● Combination- As the name suggests, combination skin is a mix of normal, dry and oily. Most people with combination skin have an oily T-zone- forehead, nose, chin- and dry or normal skin overall.
What Kind of Cleanser Will Suit My Skin Type?
Normal skin does not require special efforts if you choose a cleanser that essentially cleans without irritating the skin with chemicals. You can follow it up with a moisturizer, serums of your choice and sunscreen.
Dry skinned people need to consider cleansers that have a foam or cream base. Cleansers like Lisen Perfect Balance Cleanser Foam or Lisen Divine Radiance Cream to Foam Cleanser clean the skin without ripping the natural skin oils. Some cream-based cleansers provide required moisturization with deep cleaning too.
Oily skin requires ingredients that will help in sebum production without irritating the protective layer of the skin. Look for cleansers that have vitamin C, salicylic acid, tea tree essence and are foam based. Since oily skin is more prone to clogged pores resulting in acne, you should choose the best cleanser for oily acne-prone skin. There are various options available in the market but Lisen Divine Radiance Cream to Foam Cleanser stands out. It is suitable for all skin types and helps in controlling acne
Combination skin is tricky, to begin with. It is prone to acne and other skin problems too. An acne foaming cream cleanser like Lisen Divine Radiance will work wonders for combination skin. It won’t parch your T-zone or irritate the rest of the skin.
Takeaway
Being intimated by perfect looking skin on-screen is far from reality. Each skin is different and beauty lies in diversity. Choose health overlooks and be consistent with skincare.
