There are more and more types of skin care products sold on the market. It is really not easy to find a correct facial cleanser that helps the skin. So is it better to use facial cleanser or facial cleanser for oily skin?

Facial cleanser types and selection tips

Facial cleanser is a skin care product that we use every day in our daily life. Many friends have asked me how to choose a facial cleanser that’s right for them. I think we should first understand its basic cleansing mechanism. Only in this way can we clearly understand which facial cleanser is right for us.

1. Basic types:

a. Foaming facial cleanser - This is the most commonly used one, which is the surfactant type. The cleaning effect is achieved through the emulsification ability of surfactants on grease. This type of product has a stronger cleaning ability for water-soluble dirt. Soap facial cleansers are also one of these categories, but due to their obvious characteristics, they are generally treated differently from ordinary surfactant facial cleansers.

b. Solvent type - This type of product relies on the oil-oil dissolving ability to remove oily dirt. It mainly targets oily dirt, so it is generally some makeup remover, cleaning cream, etc.

C. 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.

2. How to choose:

Different dosage forms have different cleaning mechanisms and different skin feel. Based on the needs of different skin types, I have the following suggestions:

a. Oily skin: People with oily skin secrete more oil than the average person, so they 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. Products of this type currently on the market include Pond's Seaweed, Ding Jiayi Ginseng, Neutrogena Deep Cleansing Facial Cleanser, Nivea Whitening Facial Cleanser, etc.

b. Combination skin: This type of skin is mainly oily in the T-zone, while the cheeks are generally neutral and may be dry.

Therefore, this type of skin needs to strike a balance between the T-zone and the cheek area. We should not only consider cleaning the T-zone and choose products with very strong fat-removing ability, especially in the autumn and winter seasons. I have this type of skin, but my cheeks are neutral, so I usually use some soap-based facial cleansers in the summer. In autumn and winter, because the oil secretion is not so strong, you can switch to ordinary foaming facial cleanser.

Most people with oily skin have oil on their faces all year round. This is because the skin secretes too much oil, causing the skin to become greasy. People with oily skin are most likely to get acne and freckles. When choosing skin care products, whether it is a facial cleanser or a cleansing milk, you must find one that is suitable for your skin and has a good oil-removing effect, and you must choose one that is non-irritating.
