In order to achieve a smooth and radiant complexion, something that everyone strives for, you must develop a skin care routine that works for you. Whether your skin is young or aging, the first step in your skincare routine should be to cleanse it with a cleanser.

 

What is a cleanser and what does it do?

A cleanser (face wash) is an essential part of everyone's daily skincare routine. Cleanser removes dead skin cells, dirt, oil, sweat, sebum, makeup and any other pollutants from the skin, thus clearing clogged pores. For acne-prone skin, redness and other conditions that may be due to pollutants forming in the skin, cleansers should be used as the most basic acne treatment.

In cosmetic applications, HPMC is mainly used for cosmetic thickening, foaming, stable emulsification, dispersion, adhesion, film formation and improvement of water retention performance, high-viscosity products are used as thickening, and low-viscosity products are mainly used for suspension dispersion and film formation.

Before choosing a product to incorporate into your skin routine, you should determine your skin type so that you can purchase products that will complement your skin and keep it healthy. There are 5 main skin types. They are normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive skin.

The right cleanser for your skin type

During and after cleansing your skin, you should feel clean, soft and non-irritated. To achieve this feeling, you need to choose the right cleanser for your skin type. Each skin type reacts differently to certain ingredients in cleansers and cleansing agents, so it is important to choose the right one for your skin.

 

Daily chemical detergent grade cellulose HPMC is used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, lotions, creams, gels, toners, conditioners, styling products, toothpastes, mouthwashes, toy bubble water.

 

Cleansers for normal skin

The best ingredients in cleansers for normal skin are retinol, salicylic acid, vitamin C and chemical exfoliants. All of these promote skin cell renewal, increase moisture and soften the skin to keep it healthy.

 

Washing your face for oily skin

To reduce oil, shine and prevent breakouts, look for cleansers that contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and glycolic acid, as they remove excess oil from pores. Tea tree oil is also a natural ingredient that dissolves oil and kills bacteria. If you are struggling with acne, the previously mentioned ingredients can also clear up blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.

 

Washing your face for dry skin

If you have dry skin, you should use a cleanser that will moisturize and nourish your skin. Ingredients to look for are lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and natural oils such as avocado and jojoba oils. Also, avoid those ingredients that should be used on oily skin. Cleansers that contain salicylic or glycolic acid can reduce oil and further dry out the skin, which can create more irritation, cracking and redness.

 

Cleansers for combination/sensitive skin

Both combination and sensitive skin types should use ultra-mild cleansers. Do not use physical scrubs or washes with microbeads, as these can cause tearing and further irritation of the skin. Use cleansers that are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, paraben-free and soap-free to ensure that you do not irritate your skin while washing.

 

Conclusion

Before purchasing a cleanser, be sure to determine your skin type and inquire if you have a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis. Once you have determined this and know which ingredients you need to create a clear, radiant, healthy complexion, you can make an informed purchase. Take similar precautions in any wound care treatment or consult a specialist for effective results.
