Are you using the best cleanser for your skin type and skin concerns?
If you have oily skin consider a foaming or gel cleanser. This helps to remove excess dirt and oil from your skin allowing the following ingredients in your skincare regimen to actually penetrate through. *Bonus tip- Cleansers that contain niacinamide can help to regulate your oil on a superficial level.
For those with blemish prone skin consider using actives known to target C.Acnes like Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide cleansers.
For those with Dry, sensitive skin consider using a hydrating or creamy cleanser to help gently cleanse the skin without disrupting the skin barrier.
For those with combination skin or balanced “normal” skin type a cream to foam cleanser is a great option. Bonus tip* the CeraVe cream to foam cleanser is amazing for removing makeup/sunscreen but keeping your skin barrier healthy.
