Sometimes we’re dry, sometimes we’re oily. You might be oily with mature skin or have dry skin with acne. Rather than peg your skin as one “type” when choosing a facial cleanser, think about your skin’s needs. Then, look for a cleanser with the right type of consistency and ingredients. Use this list of main skin conditions as a guide and notice that some overlap. This should help you choose the best cleanser for your skin, an essential and critical step in anyone’s skincare routine.
