Squeaky Clean
Most people know that it is important to wash one’s face in the evening before bedtime and in the morning. However, many do not realize that their cleanser is not clearing away all of the dirt and debris. Some believe that any type of soap will do, while others insist on paying large sums for high-end cleanser. Many dermatologists will tell patients that simple antibacterial soap is enough to clean the skin. However, soaps generally dehydrate skin, leaving it dry and flaky. There are many different types of cleanser on the drugstore shelves, and it can be a daunting task to pick just one. Here is a concise list with an appropriate cleanser for each skin type.
VivierSkin Hexam IDS Gentle Cleanser is intended for oily or acne-prone skin. While the cleanser removes bacteria, debris, and makeup from the user’s skin, it will not over-dry like many other cleansers. Instead, the IDS Gentle Cleanser restores the skin’s natural moisture balance, soothes skin, and even repairs damage brought on by acne or the sun. Just as with most cleansers, the VivierSkin Hexam IDS Gentle Cleanser is applied to damp skin in the evening and morning, and then simply rinsed off with warm water. This face wash is simple to use and has a reputable brand name behind it, which is always important with skincare products.
For dry skin, the AminoGenesis Really Really Clean is a welcome alternative to products that simply exacerbate dryness. This cleanser provides dry skin with rich amino acids, which repair cells and reestablish skin’s normal moisture balance. The Really Really Clean cleanser is perfect for makeup removal and will not cause a harsh reaction or irritation. Also, by providing nutrients to the skin, the AminoGenesis cleanser leaves skin with a healthy glow and eliminates dry patches. While this cleanser is applied morning and night, it can also be used as a moisture-rich shaving cream.
Lastly, those with normal skin typically end up using a product meant for another skin type. However, the GM Collin Hydramucine Cleansing Milk is a perfect cleanser for those with little to no skin problems. Not only does this product clear away any makeup and debris, it also dissolves any excess sebum. Excess sebum can clog pores and cause breakouts. This cleanser is applied in the typical way, both morning and evening. GM Collin also has other products that can complete a person’s daily skincare regimen.
