I realize there are so many different products and skin treatments out there, and it can be really overwhelming to find one thats right for you. So i am here to try and help you find your perfect product, remember this may take some time. Make sure you go some where you can actually try the product before you buy it. Most companies will offer samples.
Lets start with cleansers, because this is one of the most important steps in your daily skincare, especially if you wear makeup. Good news is that cleansers are usually the easier part of this search.
If you have oily skin then you really want to find something that foams up, so it makes your skin feel cleaner. Also look for a cleanser that has a percentage of glycolic acid this will cleanse your skin without drying and tighten the pores. Most companies have there skincare separated into oily, normal, and dry so it shouldn’t be hard for you to find a good one that is right for you.
Here are a few of my favorites.
If you have sensitive skin you might want to use a product like Clarins Water Purify one step cleanser. If you don’t have sensitive skin then Lancome’s Gel Pure Focus cleanser is also good.
For all of you with normal combination skin types you should be looking for something that is cleansing but does not dry the skin. Look for moisturizing elements this will help prevent drying.
For those of you with dry skin ( i feel your pain) then you really want to find either a lotion cleanser that you can just wipe off with a tissue or something with a very mild exfoliator.
I love Aveeno’s moisturizing face bar or Kiehls which is great for sensitive skin.
I really hope this has given you a little more confidence about shopping for you perfect cleanser.
Stay tuned for part 2 when i go over moisturizers.
