How Important Is An Effective Facial Cleanser?
I think in the past week I've seen about nine or ten different commercials for facial cleansers
. Everyday there seems to be a newer, better and more efficient facial cleanser. There are hundreds of cleansers out there and all of them are definitely not all the same. Using a quality facial cleanser daily is a key step in keeping your skin clear and healthy. A high quality facial cleanser can clear the pores and clean the skin of dirt and the acne causing bacteria. The best cleansers contain all natural ingredients that are free of preservatives, chemicals and fragrances that can cause allergic reactions.
We all have different kinds of skin; oily, dry, combination, sensitive, etc. Finding the right cleanser for you shouldn't be that hard, but for some people it is. There are all natural facial cleansers for every type of skin. When looking for a face wash, consider ones made with Shea Butter, to moisturize and protect from sun damage, Aloe Vera for its healing properties, Chamomile and Tangerine Oil to disinfect and kill any bacteria, while clearing pores and promoting maximum nutrient absorption. These extracts and oils are world renowned for their healing and nourishing properties that provide the healthiest skin imaginable.
Now that I've promoted all things natural, I'd like to say something about those chemically based facial cleansers. Many of them contain synthetic astringents and disinfectants that can be harmful to our skin resulting in redness, dryness, and itchiness which are side effects that can make things like acne much, much worse. Some can even experience severe allergic reactions of the face resulting in swelling, hives, and tenderness, in which case medical attention should be immediately sought.
Make sure you avoid facial cleansers or any other skin care product for that matter that is made with artificial fragrances as they are known to cause just as bad of an allergic reaction as many of the other synthetic ingredients found in many facial cleansers such as redness, dryness, irritation, peeling, and in some cases increased acne. The best facial cleansers are made with exotic plant and fruit extracts that provide a light, gentle aroma that is quick to dissipate and is completely natural.
But what happened to good, old fashioned soap and water? Well, first off soap is incredibly drying to the skin and can actually cause breakouts on those with sensitive skin. Soap is meant for the body, not the face. Its pH is just too high to be used on such a delicate part of our body, unless it's formulated to be used on or around our face. Those soaps made for the face are unfortunately, usually not strong enough to clear the dirt and bacteria away.
Washing your face too much is actually really bad for your skin and can do way more harm than good. Using a mild all natural face cleanser once in the morning and once in the night is a sure fire way to keep you skin clear and clean. Make sure to stay away from any chemicals or synthetic fragrances that can cause allergic reactions. Always do your research; consult a dermatologist, talk to friends and family or read facial cleanser reviews and see if any of those options can point you on the right track to the best facial cleanser for you.
