Are cleansing gels and cleansing creams the same? Are you choosing cleansing products for different skin types right?

As the first step in the "face project", it is very important to wash your face thoroughly. Although everyone knows how to wash their face, there are still many tricks to clean it thoroughly without damaging the skin. Take the various facial cleansing products on the market, do you know how to choose and what are the differences between them?

Is cleansing gel the same as cleansing balm?

Not exactly the same. Cleansing gel and cleansing cream are both cleansing products, but their cleansing strength is different. Cleansing cream has strong deep cleansing ability and can be used to exfoliate and remove makeup; cleansing gel has weaker cleaning power and can remove dead skin and excess cuticle as well as replenish water and moisturize. Cleansing gel is suitable for daily cleansing, while cleansing cream is suitable for friends who wear makeup every day and can remove makeup residue.

The more you clean your face, the cleaner it will be?

Many people believe that the more frequently they wash their face with cleanser, the cleaner their skin will be. For example, friends with oily skin produce more oil in the summer. In order to keep their face refreshed, they often use facial cleanser to wash their face. This is actually very damaging to the skin. Excessive cleansing will disrupt the balance of the skin. Therefore, it is only necessary to cleanse the face in the morning and evening. It is best to use cleansing products only at night.

How to choose facial cleansing products

1. For dry skin, you can choose a soap-free facial cleanser rich in amino acids. Amino acid cleansers will not take away the skin's own moisture when washing your face, and there will be no feeling of tightness after drying your face. They are suitable for dry skin. For example, Freeplus Facial Cleanser, EltaMD Facial Cleanser, etc.

2. For oily skin, you can choose a cleanser with stronger cleansing power and containing a small amount of soap base. Not all soap-based products are bad. Soap base can remove facial oil. Cleansers with a small amount of soap base are very suitable for oily skin. For example, Cleansing Expert Facial Cleanser, Chanel Camellia Cleanser, etc.

3. People with sensitive skin can choose cleansing products specially made for sensitive skin, which are fragrance-free and preservative-free. They can reduce the burden on the skin while gently cleansing the skin, moisturizing and soothing sensitive skin. For example, Avene Cleansing Milk, Winona Cleansing Milk, etc.
