Cleansers
Whether you’re about to start your day, step outdoors, or have just entered home after a long and tiring day, the urge to wash your face is instinctual. A good cleanser plays a vital role in fighting various skin concerns. A gentle and effective face cleanser is the first skincare product in the holy trinity of skincare CTM – Cleanser, Toner, and Moisturiser....
It is important to have a solid face wash that helps to get all the dirt and grime off your face at the end of the day. Trust Lancôme to offer luxurious and effective face cleansers that not only provide a thorough cleanse but also don’t strip your skin of its essential oils, leaving it feeling soft and supple.
Types of Face Cleansers
There are different types and textures of face washes available in the market and you can pick one based on your skin type and needs. Here’s a lowdown of all the types of cleansers:
1. Gel Cleansers
These are clear and have a gel-like texture. Gel cleansers are typically designed to deep cleanse and are effective at removing excess oil, killing acne-causing bacteria, and decongesting clogged pores. This is the best face wash for women with acne-prone or oily skin.
2. Cream Cleansers
These are cleansers with a lush and creamy consistency. Cream cleansers are formulated to be gentler on your skin and are super hydrating. These are one of the best types of face wash for glowing skin as they don’t strip it of its natural oils. They are best suited for those with dry or sensitive skin. Crème-Mousse Confort Gentle Cleanser by Lancôme is a creamy foaming facial cleanser that is gentle on the skin.
3. Foam Cleansers
Typically, a foam cleanser or foaming face wash has attributes of both gel and cream cleansers. They are either cream or gel-based which when pumped out, transform into a luxe, foamy lather and are as effective as gel cleansers. Foaming face washes are great for combination skin types. Try Lancôme’s Mousse Eclat Hydrating Foam Cleanser which exfoliates and gently cleanses makeup and impurities.
4. Oil Cleansers
You may wonder whether having oil on your face to cleanse it is a good idea but trust the process. Oil cleansers, also known as makeup cleansers, are meant to remove water-proof makeup and dirt on the skin without disrupting the skin barrier. Many use oil cleansers as the first step in a double cleanse and follow it up with either a cream or foam cleanser.
Primary ingredients in Cleansers
When buying a face cleanser, you want to make sure that you’re buying the best facial cleanser for you. Which is why it is important that you check the primary ingredients in cleansers. Certain ingredients such as retinol, salicylic acid, ceramides, vitamin C, glycerin, and chemical and physical exfoliants work wonders on the skin. Consider the below tips when you buy a face wash online or in stores.
- Choose a face wash based on your skin type. Selecting the wrong type may further aggravate your skin concerns.
- The best facial cleanser for those with acne-prone or oily skin is one with retinol or salicylic acid.
- Those who have dry or sensitive skin should pick a cleanser with glycerin or ceramides.
- For daily use, choose gentle and non-stripping cleansers, i.e. ones that don’t dry out your skin.
- The best facial cleanser specially for those whose skin is prone to acne and breakouts is one that includes AHAs such as salicylic acid.
How to Apply Cleanser
Most of us know how to apply a face wash. However, most often we tend to miss out on even the most basic and crucial steps. So, here’s a refresher on how to use cleanser on the face:
- First and foremost, make sure your hands are clean before you touch your face. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap or a hand cleanser.
- Take a small amount of your favourite cleanser and apply it to your face and neck area.
