Air pollution, sweat and product residue are daily battles for everyone's skin, which is why it's important to wash your face daily to combat these skincare enemies. While you might think that you can use a body wash to unclog your pores, you would be wrong.
dr Tim Gulek, Dermatologist, Founder of Royal Fern, with over 20 years experience in the industry explains: “You need to exfoliate your skin at least once a day at night to rid it of dirt, sweat, FPS and FPS. . form".
be continued. "A good cleanser should support the skin's natural pH balance and not be too harsh as it can strip the skin of its essential natural oils."
So it's time to ditch soap for its drying, exfoliating, and pH-balancing properties and say hello to a facial cleanser that cleanses your face while preserving moisture, removing excess oil, and fighting pimples. They provide a solid base for all subsequent products including moisturizers, oils, masks and serums to help your beauty reach its radiant potential.
Cleansers come in all shapes and sizes, so listen to your skin's needs when choosing the right one for you. If you tend to be dry, look for products with moisturizing properties, or if you have a lot of oil, oil-controlling ingredients should be on your wish list.
Ingredients like salicylic acid, alpha hydroxide, niacinamide, and zinc help fight breakouts, says Dr. In general, however, the ingredients should not be comedogenic, i.e. do not clog the pores.
“A cream or balm cleanser is great for dry skin. Look for ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which have multiple moisturizing benefits.”
The variety of cleansers on the market can be overwhelming for those new to facial cleansing. That's why we've put together a guide to finding something for every skin type and budget, from the elegant Horace to the luxurious Augustine Bader Gel Cleanser.
