4. Find the right cleanser for your skin type Most cleansers pretty much provide the same benefits to the skin: they remove dirt, oil, bacteria and makeup. Cleansers can be formulated to target different skin concerns such as dry or oily skin and can come in an array of scents and textures. If you have oily skin it is most common to use a ‘gel’ cleanser. And, dry skin usually needs a ‘lotion’ style cleanser. A good cleanser will target dryness by providing light moisture or will help remove excess oils by targeting sebum production. (“Sebum” is just a fancy word that means oil.) A good cleanser will never compromise your skin’s moisture barrier, or increase oil production. So, no matter how tempting, don’t just grab a random cleanser off the shelf. Do some research, trial and error, and find what works best for your skin type. Be good to your skin and your skin is more likely to be good to you!
