How to choose your face cleansing gel ?

Now an integral part of beauty routines, facial cleansing gels help purify the skin, effectively remove impurities and leave the skin soft. However, this cleansing foam, which can be used morning and evening, must suit your skin type.

Indeed, whether you have dry skin, oily skin or combination skin, it can sometimes be difficult to choose your facial cleansing gel.

Furthermore, there are many specificities and it can be hard to navigate them. That’s why TdeM shares its advice today to help you find the purifying facial cleanser suited to your skin type.

Which facial cleansing gel for dry skin?

The face, especially when you have dry skin, is a very delicate part of the body. That’s why choosing the right facial cleansing gel is essential.

However, the use of the latter can be combined with other cosmetic products for dry skin such as a nourishing cleansing milk or a micellar water. Indeed, cleansing milk removes all traces of makeup from the face while leaving a veil of softness on the skin. Micellar water, for its part, will complement a facial wash with a cleansing gel to effectively remove impurities and all the micro particles left by pollution.

If the skin is atopic or tends toward atopy with eczema for example, it is also possible to finish the treatment with a facial oil that will provide much more hydration.

Which cleansing gel for combination and oily skin?

Cleansing these skin types requires specific products and techniques. Indeed, you must eliminate excess sebum or at least reduce it, effectively remove impurities and get rid of blackheads.

As a result, choosing a cleansing gel tailored and specific to combination and oily skin is even more important. You should use a foaming cleansing gel that respects the skin and is not overly stripping. Indeed, if a purifying gel is too aggressive, it will tend to activate the sebaceous glands and increase sebum production. It is this production that will lead to pimples and other imperfections.

With this type of skin, it is therefore necessary to use products that will limit shine on combination to oily skin. It is also good to regularly exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells.

A good beauty routine for combination to oily skin is to use a cleansing gel morning and evening. In the morning to remove excess sebum produced during the night, and in the evening to remove impurities collected during the day.

Which cleansing gel for blemish-prone skin?

Blemish-prone skin in adulthood should be cleansed with suitable cosmetic products.

Indeed, in adulthood the skin is already more mature and it is therefore appropriate to remove dead skin to reveal a younger-looking skin layer.

You can thus use an apricot kernel exfoliating powder before cleansing the skin with a purifying gel.

Contrary to popular belief, blemish-prone skin should not be left dry. That’s why it’s good to hydrate it deeply with, for example, facial oils. Indeed, the drier the skin, the more the sebaceous gland is stimulated and increases sebum production.

Which cleansing gel for sensitive skin?

Finding the right purifying gel to cleanse sensitive skin is not always easy.

Indeed, this skin type tends to react if you use products that are not suitable. And that’s why you absolutely must find products that are suitable and completely natural. Because simply using tap water can irritate the skin due to limestone or chlorine, it’s better to use a neutral product, as is the case with micellar water.

Indeed, this type of product is often made with natural flower extracts or even from thermal water.

If you want to use a cleansing gel to remove makeup, it’s better to favor a cleansing milk instead. Gentler on your skin, it will also provide much more hydration. To provide complete protection to your skin, you can perfect your treatment with a facial oil. This will indeed have the ability to build a skin barrier against external aggressions. Your skin will be more beautiful and fully protected.

Which treatment to use after using a purifying gel?

Want to complete your beauty routine by applying a treatment after using your purifying gel? In that case, several options are available. You can either use a face cream that will plump and deeply hydrate your skin, or use a facial oil.

The latter, thanks to its very active components, acts like a beauty serum to bring radiance to your skin. Please choose a facial oil rich in vegetable oils such as coconut oil or Buriti oil, which will provide maximum hydration to your skin, especially for mature skin.

There you go, you now know how to choose your facial cleansing gel according to your skin type. Don’t forget that cleansing your face should be done morning and evening to keep your skin healthy. Do you prefer to use micellar water to cleanse your face and want to learn more?
