Cleansers
The purpose of a cleanser is simply to clean your skin. When choosing a cleanser, consider the current condition of your skin. For example, if your skin is currently sensitive, has it always been sensitive or is it a side effect from topical prescriptions, or from environmental stressors, like cold weather? Also, consider how you like your skin to feel after you wash. Do you prefer a clean/tight feel, or do you prefer a cleanser that leaves a protective layer after rinsing? Cleansers should complement the moisturizers and treatments you put on your skin. Cleansers may contain other active ingredients to benefit the skin, such as Glycolic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide. Often, too much of the same active ingredient can compromise your natural skin barrier, so be aware of the active ingredients in your skin care products.
