Cleansers – Creams, Milk, Oils or Gels?

September 25, 2009 by marilynnsyrett 2 Comments

Cleansing is the first and most important part of your skin care regimen. It cleans the skin and flushes out all the dirt and impurities accumulated within the skin pores. There are a variety of cleansers available in the market – cleansing milk, cream cleansers, cleansing oils and cleansing gels. All these products have their unique characteristic properties and cater to specific skin types.

Cleansing Oils
Cleansing oils don’t just clean your face but are also used as a male-up remover. The Japanese are known for their cleansing oils. This is extremely beneficial for people with dry skin. You can massage the cleansing oil on the face and revitalize the skin. The massaging motion also enhances the blood circulation and provides a radiant glow to your face. Try the La Roche-Posay Biomedic LHA Cleansing Gel or Obagi C Cleansing Gel.

Cleansing Milks

Cleansing milks and cream-based cleansers are especially good for mature skin. This is why it is an integral part of an anti aging skin care regimen. They might not be able to remove make-up as efficiently as cleansing oils but they clean the skin gently without making it too dry. However, they often leave behind a thin film on the skin that can be removed by using a toner .

Foaming Cleansers
Foaming cleansers create a lot of foam and lather when you apply them to your face. They contain strong ingredients like sodium laureate sulphate etc (SLS). However, they can often end up drying the skin. Thus suitable for oily skin types. Try the Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel.

Dr. Marilyn Syrett is a world-renowned physician who helps women deal with their skin and suggests discount skin care products for inexpensive skin care. She has reviewed a variety of skin care products that address the requirements of normal, oily, dry & sensitive skin and helps to keep it healthy.

    Straight forward, relevant information. Would love to see recommendations for more natural and organic skin care products too.
