TYPES OF CLEANSERS
GEL:
Gel cleansers are just that, gel-like. They are typically clear. They can include extra exfoliation, like a salicylic acid or jojoba or wax beads. They're great for deep cleaning. Micro-exfoliating Honey is one of my faves, a client fave is Brightening Cleanser! Generally used for oily and combination skin. I use a gel cleanser to prep for Dermaplaning.
MILK / CREAM
Milk or cream cleansers can be like a lightweight lotion or a bit thicker. Some are more hydrating, some more calming. Some contain anti-aging and brightening ingredients, like mandelic acid. A pro fave! Best for dry or sensitive skin. I use and love the Hydra Replenishing Cleansing Milk.
FOAM
Foam cleansers are light-weight and also good for deep cleansing. Typically for oily and combination skin. I rotate a foam cleanser once a week with my milk cleanser in the summer because I get a little oiler in the summer. I have a couple to choose from and like them both.
OIL
Oil cleansers are a bit newer and actually good for oily skin. Sounds strange right? But like attracts like and oil cleansers can help clean out pores and remove makeup without drying out your skin. Oil cleansers are good for most skin types too!
Check out the new Bare Beauty Cleansing Oil from PurErb that uses botanicals to give you a dewy glow!
MICELLAR
Micellar Cleansers are amazing and quick! They are made up of tiny micelles (tiny molecules of oil in soft water) which are attracted to oil and dirt. But there is no oily residue left behind. It's a little thicker than water and no need to rinse! Great after the gym or as a second cleanse.
Best for dry skin. I love my Osmopure!! Safe for lash extensions!
