We Break Down The Best Facial Cleansers For Your Skin Type

by MELISSA CHEW  /   January 22, 2018

Skin cleansing is the first step of your skincare routine. It may seem like a basic step, but getting it right may be trickier than just picking up any random facial wash off the shelf. Pick the right cleanser for your skin type (dry, oily, sensitive) or to address your most pressing skin concerns (acne, dullness, ageing) and you’re well on your first step to treating your skin right. Using the wrong kind of cleanser, however, could irritate or aggravate your skin unnecessarily and cause more problems before you can even start moving on to your skincare serums and creams, so choose wisely.

Click through our gallery to see the best cleansers for sensitive, dull, oily, dry, acne prone skin, or if you’re all about preventing skin ageing.
