Choosing the Right Cleanser for Your Skin: Tips for Acne-Prone Skin
Selecting the right cleanser for your skin type and acne severity is crucial, but using it correctly is just as important. Have your MDacne customized kit ready? Here are five essential tips for cleansing your face the right way.
1. Be Gentle—Don’t Overdo It
Over-cleansing can harm both dry and oily skin. For dry skin, it can strip away essential moisture, while for oily skin, it may overstimulate oil production, leading to more breakouts. Stick to washing your face twice a day, no matter your skin type.
2. Use the Right Amount of Product
More isn’t always better. Once you have the right cleanser for your skin, use only a small amount—no larger than a green pea. Dilute it with water in your palm before applying it to your face for even distribution and effective cleansing.
3. Avoid Harsh Cleansers
Cleansers containing alcohol might feel refreshing, but they’re not your friend. Alcohol-based products can dry out your skin, leaving it flaky, itchy, and irritated over time. Opt for gentle, hydrating cleansers instead.
4. Be Gentle When Washing
Scrubbing or rubbing your skin too hard can lead to irritation, dryness, and even more severe acne breakouts. Always handle your skin with care, using gentle motions to cleanse.
5. Rinse Thoroughly
It’s just as important to rinse off your cleanser as it is to apply it. Residue left behind can clog pores and irritate the skin. Splash water generously on all areas of your face to ensure no product is left behind.
