Does facial cleanser have side effects? What types have

Facial cleanser is the most common skin care product and is liked by many people. So does facial cleanser have any side effects? What types of facial cleansers have serious side effects?

Does facial cleanser have side effects?

1. No side effects

The main function of facial cleanser is to clean pores and remove oil to prevent oil from clogging pores. It only stays on the face for a few minutes and will not harm the skin if used properly.

2. Inappropriate facial cleanser has serious side effects

There are many types of facial cleansers, which are divided into gentle facial cleansers and oily skin facial cleansers according to the nature of the skin. Gentle facial cleansers are milder, usually have less foam, and are suitable for dry and neutral skin. Facial cleansers for oily skin are more alkaline, have strong cleansing ability, and produce rich foam, making them suitable for oily skin. If people with dry skin choose a facial cleanser with strong alkalinity and high foaming content, it will make the skin drier and there will be a strong feeling of tightness after washing the face. If people with oily skin choose a gentle facial cleanser with less foam, it will not be able to thoroughly clean the dirt in the pores, which can easily cause clogged pores and acne.

3. Excessive use may cause serious side effects

Sebum can clog pores, but it can also help moisturize and lock in moisture. Facial cleansers can remove oil from pores. Using them too many times a day can cause some side effects. For example, dry skin has less sebum secretion, and washing your face too frequently with facial cleanser will make your skin drier and drier. Oily skin has strong oil secretion, and washing your face too frequently with facial cleanser will stimulate the sebum reflex to secrete more oil faster, and make the skin appear oily on the outside and dry on the inside.

What types of facial cleansers have serious side effects

1. Whitening facial cleanser

Most whitening facial cleansers contain a certain concentration of fruit acid or BHA, which softens the cuticle and helps to exfoliate the old dead skin cells. They are somewhat irritating and long-term use is very detrimental to the health of the skin.

2. Deep cleaning strong alkaline facial cleanser

The cell environment itself is weakly acidic. Strong alkaline facial cleansers will destroy the acid-base balance of the skin and disrupt the normal secretion of oil, making the skin drier or stimulating more oil secretion. Long-term use of strong alkaline facial cleansers is not good for skin health.

3. Exfoliating facial cleanser

Exfoliating facial cleanser is used when the aged cuticle has not been completely removed. It only needs to be used regularly (once every 15 days) and does not need to be used every day. Daily use will cause the cuticle to be too thin and the skin will become more and more fragile and sensitive.

4. Makeup remover and facial cleanser

Facial cleansers and makeup remover oils are two different things. Don't buy two products combined into one. Many people find that when using makeup remover facial cleansers, they cannot remove makeup thoroughly, which can easily cause makeup to clog pores.

Facial cleansers have no side effects if used properly, but some types of facial cleansers have inherent side effects.
