KEEP IT CLEAN

The oils and cleansers you should be using according to your skin type

-

Whether you’re an owner of dry, oily, sensitive, combinatio­n or normal skin, we’ve rounded up every facial cleanser and oil you should be using according to your skin type.

Go forth and conquer your skin goals!

OILY SKIN

When picking cleansers, those with oily skin should opt for products with exfoliants and salicylic or lactic acid as key ingredient­s.

It’s also important that those prone to oily skin allow the cleanser to sit on their skin for a few minutes – perhaps while brushing your teeth – before rinsing off as to unclog pores and provide a deeper cleansing process, ridding all excess oils from the inside out.

SENSITVE SKIN

Those with sensitive skin will be familiar with easily irritable skin, resulting commonly in redness or flushing and are prone inflammati­on.

Opt for natural products that don’t strip the skin’s natural oils or alter its natural balance to ensure the skin’s barrier remains intact, avoiding irritation.

NORMAL SKIN

For those with normal skin, opt for simple cleansers that aren’t too exfoliant based or overly moisturisi­ng.

COMBINATIO­N SKIN

Those who have combinatio­n skin – whereby your T-zone becomes oily yet cheek area remains dry – opt for natural products to help balance skin compositio­n.

DRY SKIN

For those with dry skin, opt for richer cleansers to promote the skin to hold optimal moisture.

You should also opt for oils that don’t strip away the natural moisture barrier.
