Choose the Cleanser That’s Right for You
Cleansers work to free your face of unwanted dirt, oil, and debris—without stripping away the top layer. But to find the proper facial cleanser, first you have to know your skin type. Are you dry, oily, combination, or sensitive? Our guide helps to find the cleanser fit for you to unclog, exfoliate, and purify your complexion.
Tips for Dry Skin
If you experience flaky, tight skin, learn to deeply moisturize and rehydrate. For more help, follow these simple tips.
● Avoid products that contain alcohol and fragrance
● Use gentle, non-drying products and follow with a facial moisturizer
● Use a micellar cleanser water as a gentle solution to remove dirt, oil, and makeup
● To support delicate skin, use milk or lotion-based cleansers
● Apply an exfoliant once a week to lift away dead surface skin cells and reduce flaking
