There are tons of acne cleansers in the market. However, not all of them are suitable for your skin type and there are some that are not effective at all. Having a good cleanser is part of the regimen to help you cure your acne, so you need to know how to select the best acne cleanser for your skin.
The first thing you need to know is your skin type. Our skin type differs from each other and one acne cleanser will not suit every one of us. There are a few skin types and they are sensitive, dry oily and normal skin.
If your skin tends to dry easily after cleansing, most probably you belong to the dry skin type. If your skin is sensitive to products and turn red easily, most likely you have sensitive skin. If your skin is oily all day long, you belong to the oily skin type.
Once you know what type of skin types you belong to, you can proceed to find the best acne cleanser for your particular skin type.
You need to look out for acne cleanser that has non-comodogenic properties. These cleansers are tested and proven that will not block your pores. Acne occurs when your pores are blocked and inflammation occurs and it helps a lot when your cleansers do not contain any ingredients that will clog up your pores.
When shopping for your cleanser, always look at the ingredients list at the back of the product. Avoid products that contain alcohol as the first few items on the list. The higher up the product is in the ingredient list, the higher the percentage of it in the product. Alcohol dries up the skin quickly and it can cause dry and flaky skin. Make sure that it is not the first few items in the ingredient list.
I recommend cleansers that contain natural ingredients such as aloe vera and tea tree oil. These 2 ingredients can help to reduce inflammation and tea tree oil can help to kill the bacteria that cause acne. These natural ingredients can help cure acne without any side effects.
Last but not least, don’t rely too much on your cleanser or acne products to help you cure your acne. If you are suffering from acne for years, remember that most likely it is not because of acne products or cleansers that you use. Acne products and cleansers can help to improve your acne condition, but the real cure of acne lies in using holistic methods to get rid of the underlying problems that cause acne.
