Types of Cleansers: What’s perfect for your skin?🤔

Hi besties! Did you know that there are different types of cleanser and which one to use depends on our skin type? That is because each one are specifically formulated and functions differently on our skin. With that, here are the top three major cleanser types, for what skin type, and their functions.

📌 Foam Cleanser - This type of cleanser is cream-based that, as its name implies, changes into foam when combined with water. It is one of the most common types of cleanser and gives deep cleansing by lifting dirt and debris out of pores. Foam cleanser though is usually strong and can remove impurities thoroughly, giving the feeling of refreshment when lathering, as oils and dirt are removed. The downside is that they can give a dry and tight feeling after washing. This type of cleanser is best for oily and acne-prone skin as it rejuvenates greasy and dull skin. For those with dry to sensitive skin, extra precaution is needed because harsh ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium chloride might irritate the skin.

📌 Gel Cleansers - Gel cleansers usually contain a gentle formula that not only removes dirt but also can function as a makeup remover. It provides gentle exfoliation and acne-fighting properties. Since this type is usually mild as it effectively cleanses the skin, it is recommended for those who have sensitive or easily irritated skin - but is also suitable for dry skin since gel cleansers usually contain moisturizing compounds and soothing properties. It also prevents irritation, redness, and possible breakouts.

📌 Micellar Water - Distinct from the two mentioned types above, micellar water is lightweight and watery in consistency. It is usually oil and water-based and uses lipid ions to attract dirt from the skin, lifting the impurities, instead of scrubbing them away. Micellar water can be applied using fingertips or cotton pads and can be used as a substitute for cleansing wipes for more gentle cleansing. However, it has to be noted that micellar water is not for deep cleansing. This type is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin since it usually contains no harsh chemicals.

Hope this helps you decide in choosing what type of cleanser works best for your skin. What are your thoughts besties? 🤩 Let me know in the comments below! 💖
