How to choose a facial cleanser that suits you

Many people don’t pay much attention to the choice of facial cleanser. I think facial cleanser is enough as long as it can wash away the grease and dirt on the face.

In fact, this idea is totally wrong! ! !

Facial cleansers should also be selected according to skin type, time period, skin condition, and makeup intensity . Many skin problems, such as acne, peeling, stinging, etc., are actually caused by using a facial cleanser that is not suitable for you .

Today I will teach you how to choose the facial cleanser that suits you best!

In daily life, the facial cleansers we commonly use can be roughly divided into two categories: soap-based cleansers and amino acid cleansers . Let's start with the details↓

Soap-based cleansing

Features: Strong cleaning power, super easy to foam, more irritating than amino acid cleansers, but not as gentle as amino acid cleansers.

Applicable people: healthy skin types such as oily skin, combination skin, neutral skin, etc.

Alkali + fatty acid = soap-based cleanser

You can look at the ingredient list of your facial cleanser. Most soap-based cleansers are composed of XX acid and XX hydroxide .

Features: Super gentle, no irritation to the skin, average cleaning power, average foaming ability.

Suitable for: sensitive skin, dry skin, mixed dry skin, acne skin, neutral skin, etc.

You can look at the ingredient list of your facial cleanser. The ingredients of most amino acid cleansers are XX acyl + XX amino acid + XX potassium/sodium , such as sodium cocoyl glutamate.

After introducing amino acid cleansers and soap-based cleansers, let’s talk about how to choose.

Soap-based cleansing is suitable for people with healthy skin types such as oily skin, combination skin, and neutral skin.

Amino acid cleansing is suitable for people with: sensitive skin, dry skin, mixed to dry skin, acne-prone skin, neutral skin, etc.

In the morning: If you have dry skin, combination skin, sensitive skin, or neutral skin, you can choose to cleanse with warm water or a mild amino acid cleanser.

If you have oily or combination skin , you can choose to use a mild amino acid cleanser. Although facial oil is prone to occur, amino acid cleansing can still clean the facial oil without irritating the skin.

Evening: If you go out without makeup, when you get home, just use the mild amino acid facial cleanser you used during the day.

If you wear makeup before going out, you must use a makeup remover at night. First remove your makeup and then use a soap-based cleanser with slightly stronger cleaning power for a second cleansing. (In short, make sure to remove makeup thoroughly!)

Amino acid surfactant, foaming, suitable for sensitive skin, will not damage the stratum corneum if washed too harshly . The foam can be produced with bare hands, and the washing feeling is also very good. There is no residue on the face after washing, so it does not feel slippery.

There is another important point: when choosing a facial cleanser for acne-prone skin, try to consider amino acid-based ones to avoid damage to the stratum corneum due to excessive cleansing. Once the skin barrier is damaged, acne-prone skin will turn into oily and sensitive skin, which will be very difficult to deal with.
