A complete guide to choose the right face wash according to your skin type

1. For dry skin

If you have dry skin, go for a cleanser which leaves a thin layer of moisture after washing. Choose cream-based face wash that helps remove most of your makeup, dust and impurities. However, if you use waterproof makeup products, in addition to cream-based cleanser, you will also need a separate makeup remover. Avoid face washes that contain salicylic or glycolic acid, as they have a tendency to dry your skin.

2. For oily skin

People with oily skin often wash their face to fight against oil especially at the T-zone (between the forehead and your nose). A cleanser with salicylic acid, aloe vera and tea tree oil is best for those with oily skin. You can also opt for gel-based cleansers, which are light and hydrating. In addition, it is better to give up alcoholic products, as they can make your skin look oilier. You can also choose salicylic acid-based face wash, as it controls oil production and opens up pores.

3. For combination skin

If you have a combination skin type that is both dry and oily skin, then you have to take care of your skin in two ways at the same time. For combination skin, you can opt for an aroma-free cleanser. It will prove to be super-gentle on your skin. You should use water based, oil free and gel based products. Before buying the products you can try the cleanser or face wash on your elbow first to check how it reacts with your skin. You can use water or coconut oil to remove makeup.
