How should I choose a cleanser for my skin type?
Start by identifying your skin type. Dry skin benefits from creamy or gentle cleansers enriched with moisturising ingredients like Vitamin E. Oily and acne-prone skin often does well with foaming cleansers containing tea tree oil or seaweed to help balance oil. Combination skin typically needs balanced formulas that cleanse without over-drying. Sensitive skin requires mild, fragrance-free options with soothing ingredients, such as the Aloe Soothing Cream Cleanser.
What's the difference between cleanser types?
Cleanser textures are tailored to different needs. Cream cleansers suit dry and sensitive skin, cleansing while helping maintain moisture. Foaming face washes create a lather that rinses away easily for a refreshing feel, ideal for those who like a deep-clean sensation. Cleansing butters are especially effective at removing makeup while still nourishing. Across all types, formulas use nature-inspired ingredients to gently clean and revive the skin.
How do I incorporate a cleanser into my skincare routine?
Begin your routine with a suitable face wash or cleanser applied to damp skin using gentle circular motions, avoiding harsh rubbing around the eye area. Rinse with lukewarm water, as hot water can strip natural oils. Pat skin dry with a clean towel, then follow with toner to help balance pH, and apply serums and moisturisers while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration. For a deeper cleanse, pair your cleanser with a reusable cleansing pad for mild exfoliation.
