Had Enough With Acne? Here’s the Best Cleanser to Get Clear Skin
You start your daily skin-care routine with your favorite cleanser. It suds up and you can just feel all the dirt and grime getting scrubbed off. After you rinse, your face feels clean and tight, but your acne just won’t go away.
If this is you, keep reading!
You have invested so much money into your skin, but the results aren’t lasting and nothing seems to work.
Most likely, the cleanser you are using isn’t right for your skin. Here is a simple way that will set you on the right path to getting rid of your acne.
It starts with a cleanser that won’t break the bank and will work for your skin, not against it.
First, let’s talk about how you know your cleanser is NOT right for you.
If your cleanser is making your skin dry, tight, or irritated, then STOP using it.
If it suds and foams STOP using it.
If your cleanser lists alcohol or menthol in the top 5 ingredients, then it will DEFINITELY dry out your skin. Dry skin becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Then STOP using it.
Most cleansers dry out your skin because it is more alkaline than the pH of your skin (which is at pH 5.5). Dry skin also causes more sebum production, which combined with cell shedding, will clog your pores.
The BEST Cleanser That Keeps Your Skin Hydrated
Now let’s get into a cleanser that will work for your skin. The BEST cleanser I have found to cleanse and hydrate your skin.
Bioderma Sensibo H2O Micellar Cleansing Water is a cleanser and brand that will clean your skin AND keep it hydrated.
Here is the science behind it. Bioderma’s micellar water contains molecules called surfactants. Imagine these molecules like tadpoles. The head is hydrophilic (it loves water) and the tail is hydrophobic (it likes oil). The heads that love water will go straight down into the water and the tail will stick straight up and grab onto the dirt and the grime.
Super Helpful Tips When Using Bioderma’s Micellar Cleanser
One quick wipe down of your face will cut through sunscreen, thick liquid foundation, and all the dirt and grime (sometimes a second pass may be necessary if you had a big day).
Use cotton pad or a reusable bamboo pad to apply the cleanser
Get the convenient travel-size bottle for your gym bag or for when you’re on the go
Make sure you rinse it off even though the label says non-rinse (surfactant is a detergent and it will dry out your skin if you leave it on)
