Cleansing Tips: How to Choose the Best Cleanser for Your Skin Type

Cleansing is the foundation of every great skincare routine, which is why it’s so important to use the best facial cleanser for your skin type. The satisfaction of removing dirt, excess oil, and makeup means your serum, facial cream, and other products can work the most effectively. You can set yourself up for a thorough but gentle cleanse by focusing on your skin type in the following guide.


OILY SKIN

Oily skin tends to produce excess sebum (oil), leading to extra shine. Everyone needs oil in their skin to keep it moisturized, but when you have overactive oil glands, you produce too much sebum.

CLEANSER TYPES:
Look for a foaming or gel-based cleanser that helps control natural oil production without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Naturally derived ingredients such as willow bark extract, citrus peel oil, and cucumber fruit extract are a few to look for in a gel cleanser.

ACNE-PRONE SKIN

If you have oily or even sensitive skin, you may also be prone to blemishes, which may be caused by oil buildup on the skin's surface.

CLEANSER TYPES:
A visibly clarifying cleanser in a gel formula, such as a salicylic acid cleanser, may be beneficial for acne-prone and oily skin because of its exfoliating properties. This type of product may also feature aloe plant extract, a known moisturizing ingredient with antioxidants.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive skin requires extra gentle care to avoid visible irritation and redness. Choose a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser with thoughtfully chosen ingredients. Avoid potentially harsh ingredients and synthetic fragrances that can aggravate sensitive skin.

CLEANSER TYPES:
Some gels and creams from clean beauty brands without potentially harsh ingredients can give you an effective but gentle cleanse. Just be sure to read the ingredients carefully.

DRY SKIN

Dry skin lacks moisture and often feels tight or flaky. Dry skin often looks dull and may have more noticeable fine lines and wrinkles. Mature skin can also be dry.

CLEANSER TYPES:
Cream cleansers with known moisturizing ingredients typically have a thicker consistency and are helpful in visibly locking in moisture. Cream cleansers with natural plant oils can be beneficial for dry and normal skin types.

COMBINATION SKIN

As the name implies, combination skin means dry in some areas and oily in others. It’s usually characterized by oiliness in the forehead, nose, and chin areas and dryness in other areas of the face. To address the unique challenges of combination skin, use a gentle cleanser that effectively removes excess oil and visibly refreshes without over-drying the skin.

CLEANSER TYPES:
A gel cleanser may be a great option because it is designed to not add oil to the skin and can offer foaming properties that help give you a thorough cleanse. In fact, most skin types may benefit from gel cleansers.

NORMAL SKIN

Skin that’s neither too oily nor too dry is considered a “normal” skin type. Many different types of cleansers can be used on normal skin. Still, it’s always best to choose a gentle, non-irritating cleanser that can effectively remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup without disrupting the skin's natural barrier.

CLEANSER TYPES:
High-quality gel, cream, and oil cleansers are all good options for normal skin types.
