What types of facial cleansers are there and which one is suitable

There are so many types of facial cleansers nowadays that most people don’t know how to choose one, so they need to understand what types of facial cleansers there are? Which facial cleanser is suitable?

What are the types of facial cleansers?

1. According to the basic types:

1. Foaming facial cleanser: contains surfactants and is divided into two types: multi-foaming type and micro-foaming type. Surfactants are used to stabilize grease in water and dissolve it in water to achieve a cleaning effect. Soap facial cleansers are also one of these categories, but because of their obvious characteristics, they are generally treated differently from ordinary surfactant facial cleansers.

2. Solvent-based facial cleansers: This type of product relies on the oil-oil dissolving ability to remove oily dirt. It mainly targets oily dirt, so they are generally some makeup remover oils, cleansing creams, etc.

3. Foam-free facial cleanser: This type of product combines the characteristics of the above two types, using an appropriate amount of oil and containing some surfactants.

4. Collagen facial cleanser: Collagen facial cleanser adopts a soap-free formula, which is warm and comfortable. It can effectively remove facial keratin and dirt including melanin, restoring the skin to a transparent and refreshing state. The nano-collagen ingredients in the product not only quickly penetrate into the skin and promote skin metabolism, but also add a layer of protective barrier for the face, preventing the loss of facial epidermis moisture and the infiltration of large amounts of external pollutants, thereby protecting the delicate skin from harmful factors.

Second, according to the nature of the skin:

Facial cleansers can be roughly divided into two types - gentle facial cleansers and facial cleansers for oily skin. Gentle facial cleanser contains a mild formula suitable for neutral, dry and sensitive skin, while the formula of oily skin facial cleanser contains less oil, and the facial skin will feel drier after washing, so as the name suggests, it is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. If you have normal or dry skin, it is best not to use oily facial cleansers, as this will only make your skin drier and more dehydrated.

3. By purpose

According to different purposes of use, it can be divided into three types: ordinary type, scrub type and therapeutic type.

4. By object

Depending on the user, it can also be subdivided into facial cleansers for different skin types, household facial cleansers, facial cleansers for beauty salons, and so on.

Which facial cleanser is suitable?

1. Oily skin: Oily skin secretes more oil than the average person, so you need to choose products with stronger cleansing ability. It is usually necessary to choose some soap products. Because soap products have strong degreasing power and are easy to rinse off, your skin feels very refreshed after washing. Oily skin is suitable for moisturizing and refreshing facial cleansers, preferably those with plant extracts.

2. Combination skin: This type of skin is mainly oily in the T-zone, while the cheeks are generally neutral and may be dry. This type of skin needs to strike a balance between the T-zone and the cheek area. You cannot just consider cleaning the T-zone and choose products with very strong fat-removing ability, especially in the autumn and winter seasons.

3. Neutral skin: This type of skin is the easiest to care for. Generally, you can just choose some foaming facial cleansers. Of course, if your skin feels drier in autumn and winter, you can also use some foam-free facial cleansers instead. Because some foaming-free facial cleansers have been improved so that they are not as difficult to rinse off as before, and they do not feel very greasy after washing.

4. Dry skin: It is best not to use foaming facial cleansers for this type of skin. You can use some cleansing oil, cleansing cream or non-foaming facial cleanser. Cleansing oil products are found in some mid- to high-end products because compared to cleansing creams, these products feel more refreshing on the skin.

5. Sensitive skin: For those with allergic skin, it is recommended to use an anti-allergic facial cleanser containing bisabolol. Amino acid facial cleanser is also a good choice. Facial cleansers with too much foam often contain more anionic surfactants, are more alkaline, have a higher pH value, and are more irritating, so they are not suitable for use.

I hope these contents can help you understand the types of facial cleansers and know what type of skin you have, so that you can choose the facial cleanser that suits you!
