What is the Best Cleanser for My Skin Type?
The search for the best cleanser for your skin type can be demanding and stressful. The purpose of a cleanser is to remove dirt and particles from your skin. However, using the wrong cleanser for your skin type can leave you with unwanted skin issues such as dry skin and breakouts. Here at DW Aesthetics, we’ve compiled a guide to help you choose the best cleanser for your skin type.
Cleansers for Combination Skin
People with combination skin usually suffer from an oily T- Zone whereas their cheeks are dry. The best types of cleanser for combination skin are ones that are gentle and have a gel-like consistency. A cleanser that includes exfoliants such as BHAs and AHAs will give you the best results. Your cleanser should also include peptides and ceramides to help keep your skin protected. People with combination skin should cleanse their skin twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Cleansers for Dry Skin
Dry skin is often red and irritated. This can make the skin tight due to its protective barrier being compromised. For dry skin types, we recommend opting for a cleanser that includes hydrating agents such as aloe vera and hyaluronic acid. You want to avoid cleansers with a foamy texture and include ingredients that are harsh on your skin. Exfoliating cleansers should also be avoided. As with combination skin, you should always cleanser your face twice daily, once in the morning and once at night.
