Best Cleanser as per skin type

Now a day in market so many cleansing options available, and with each one touting different benefits, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and get swayed by false marketing claims. Knowing the difference between each type allows you to filter your options and makes the hunt for the perfect cleanser a whole lot easier. If you have a normal skin type, feel free to try any type of cleanser as long as your skin tolerates it. We are describing some of cleanser for your skin care.

1. Gel Cleansers: Gel cleansers are clear and, as the name suggests, have a gel-like consistency. Generally designed for deep cleansing, they are effective at decongesting clogged pores, removing excess oil and killing acne-causing bacteria, thanks to their antiseptic and exfoliating properties.

Best for: Oily and combination skin 

2. Cream Cleansers: Cream cleansers are usually thick, creamy and contain moisturizing ingredients like botanical oils. They gently cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Cream cleansers can also come in the form of “milk” or “lotion.”

Best for: Dry and sensitive skin

3. Foam Cleansers: Foam cleansers are lightweight cleansers that start out as cream or gel and burst into a rich, foamy lather. This type of cleanser removes excess oil as effectively as gel cleansers.

Best for: Oily and combination skin

4. Oil Cleansers: Washing your skin with oil may sound like a recipe for breakouts, especially if you have oily skin, but most experts disagree. An oil cleanser is a gentle way of removing pore-clogging debris—including waterproof makeup—without drying your skin.

Best for: Most skin types

5. Clay Cleansers: Known for their absorbing power, clay cleansers purify your skin by drawing out excess oil and toxins from your pores.

Best for: Oily and combination skin

6. Micellar Cleansers: Originating in France, micellar waters feature “micelles”—or tiny oil molecules suspended in soft water—that attract oil, dirt and makeup. Another great thing about them: You don’t need to rinse them off with water.

Best for: Dry and sensitive skin

7. Powder Cleansers: Powder cleansers are nothing new, but they are certainly having a big moment right now. These cleansers—powdery soft when dry—dissolves into a creamy concoction upon contact with water, thoroughly cleansing your skin while providing gentle exfoliation. Unlike old-school physical exfoliants like those containing beads, powder cleansers can contain ingredients like rice starch or chickpea flour, which are kinder on the environment.

Best for: Oily and sensitive skin

8. Bar Cleansers: After years of staying out of the skin care spotlight, bars are slowly sneaking back in. This new breed of bars—some contain very little soap, others have none at all—are just as skin-friendly and luxurious as their liquid counterparts. They also offer more skin-friendly pH levels in addition to nutrient-rich, highly moisturizing ingredients, such as glycerin and essential oils. Extra points for being a greener choice than liquid soaps because the packaging materials primarily paper and cardboard break down more easily in landfills than plastic packaging.

Best for: Oily and combination skin

9. Cleansing Cloths, Mitts and Sponges: There are cleansing wipes, and then there are cleansing cloths, mitts and sponges. These cleansers are made with special fibers—some are plant-derived and don’t typically require the use of any traditional cleansers—to thoroughly remove impurities while also sloughing off dead skin cells. A few examples are muslin cloths, kassa/kessa mitts sponges.

Best for: Oily and combination skin

Adverse effect of makeup on skin

Makeup has become a necessity for most women and they believe that they cannot step out of the house without at least five different kinds of cosmetic products. The cosmetics market has bloomed to such an extent that not only are there different cosmetics for every kind of body part, there are different ones for different seasons too! But before makeup is marketed to us, it is tested on animals. Do you ever wonder why is it so?

Because the cosmetics we trust to make us beautiful are actually full of so many harmful chemicals. And despite the fact that these cosmetics make us look good temporarily, in the end they are going to leave an ugly effect.

Clogged Pores:

It’s easy to skip washing your face at night, but the negatives far outweigh the positives of this lazy habit. Sleeping in makeup can clog your pores and invite acne onto your face. It also can irritate your eyes and cause bumps to form on the skin close to your eyes. 

Premature Aging:

Leaving makeup on your skin overnight can accentuate wrinkles. Sun damage can also cause aging (and many people don’t wear sunscreen when they are wearing makeup). Age spots and wrinkles can appear as a result of not properly protecting your skin.

Dry or Oily Skin:

Certain makeup products can make your skin drier or more oily than it usually is. Additionally, when people with naturally dry skin try to put makeup on top of their skin, the makeup can make their skin even drier. You can tell if you have dry skin by symptoms such as flaky or scaly skin. A shiny face is a sign of oily skin.

So if you wear makeup every day-like many women-how can you protect your skin? We’ve compiled some makeup habits to help keep your skin as healthy as possible. If you develop these habits, your skin will thank you.

Healthy Makeup Habits for Your Skin:

Wash your face every night

It can be hard to motivate yourself to take off your makeup at night before you go to sleep. However, to avoid hurting your skin, it’s essential to develop this habit. The process includes first, using a makeup remover, and second, washing your face with a facial cleanser.

Clean your brushes regularly

This one can be difficult to do regularly, but you only need to clean your makeup brushes once a month. Deep cleaning your brushes will help get rid of the harmful bacteria on the brushes that come from your skin—from sweat and dead skin cells—and the bacteria that comes from makeup products.

Find makeup products that work for your skin

Everyone’s skin is different, and that’s why you need to pay attention to how your skin reacts to different products. Some products may dry your skin out, while others can make it oily. Through trial and error, you can find the makeup that is the best for your skin. Many dermatologists recommend mineral-based makeup products because they are often less harsh on your skin.

Use moisturizer and sunscreen daily

People often don’t use moisturizer or sunscreen as a part of their daily makeup routine, but, they really should—moisturizer can help alleviate the dryness makeup can cause, and sunscreen can help with anti-aging efforts. To combat dry skin, try to avoid putting makeup on flaky or scaly skin. If you must put on makeup, use a moisturizer as a base underneath your makeup. There are also brands available that combine moisturizer and sunscreen into one product to help you save time.

Don’t share makeup

When you want to borrow your friend’s lipstick, you’d better think twice. Sharing beauty products is a great way to spread bacteria. It may be convenient, but it won’t help your skin in the long run.

These simple steps will help you get the healthy, glowing skin that you deserve. Makeup isn’t totally bad for your skin, but it can cause problems if you practice unhealthy makeup habits. Developing these routines will help create a safe environment for your skin. Even though these are simple tips, they’ll help save you from unwanted acne, aging, and dry or oily skin.
