How to distinguish good and bad facial cleansers and how to store them

There are many types and brands of facial cleansers. When purchasing, you should first select according to your skin type. After taking it home and using it, how do you tell whether it is good or bad?

How to distinguish good and bad facial cleansers

1. If you rub your face with your hands after cleansing it with facial cleanser and something comes out, it means that the facial cleanser contains impurities and long-term use will clog your pores.

2. Do not apply skin care products after cleansing with facial cleanser. If your face feels very dry within 10 minutes, it means that the pH value of the facial cleanser is alkaline. Long-term use will cause water and oil disorder in the skin.

3. Try to open your eyes when cleansing your face. Poor quality facial cleansers will feel glaring.

4. Take a small amount of facial cleanser, put it on a spoon and burn it with fire. Inferior facial cleanser will splash oil and emit a pungent odor during the burning process.

5. Use PH test paper for testing. The PH value of the skin is 5.6. The milder the PH value of the facial cleanser, the closer it is to the PH value of the skin. If the pH value exceeds 7, it means that the facial cleanser is more irritating and has strong cleaning power.

6. A good quality facial cleanser will have a light fragrance and will not feel greasy when applied to the face. A low-quality facial cleanser will feel irritating and dry when applied to the face.

How to store facial cleanser

Seal the mouth and place it in a cool place, away from air, water, and exposure to the sun; you can store it in a storage compartment in the bathroom and take it out when needed; some facial cleansers are difficult to cover, so remember to check whether they are properly covered after use; do not touch the facial cleanser while taking a shower or using water, otherwise it will easily allow water to flow into the facial cleanser, causing the water and milk to mix and deteriorate. Facial cleansers come in bottles and tubes. Bottled ones can be placed upright, while hose-type facial cleansers need to be placed upside down. Firstly, placing them upside down will prevent water and air from easily contacting the facial cleanser; secondly, placing them upside down will make it easier to squeeze out the cleanser when using it; if you cannot place it upside down, it proves that the bottle mouth is not covered properly, and you can cover the bottle mouth in time.
