- Facial cleansing - The first step in ensuring that your face wash is effective in your skin care plan is to see how effective it is in cleansing your face. Of course, face wash works to clean your face. But does it wash your face effectively? Test the effectiveness of your face wash by taking a piece of cotton and putting on a toner. Apply to the skin. If there is residual dirt on the cotton, this means that your face is not completely cleaned by your cleanser.
- Does not dry the skin - when the skin is dry, the oil glands under the skin will detect declining levels of skin moisture and will release more oil to compensate for the loss of skin moisture. Then the skin becomes greasy and the chances for acne appear very high.
- Clean the pores in your pores - choose a deep cleanser. It will wash your face down into the pores. Of course, we cannot avoid having pores especially for those who have oily face and love to wear cosmetics every day.
- Moisturizing - Face wash should also work on moisturizing the skin other than cleansing. If you sit in a 24-hour air conditioning, the skin will become dry. So you really need a face wash that can regulate oil levels and maintain skin's natural moisture.
- Be gentle - chemical cleansers that have too strong a chemical effect on the skin. Avoid using face cleansers that can erode pigments and skin. This will cause the skin to become thinner and exposed to sunlight.
- Contains fragrances and preservatives - these ingredients can irritate the skin and cause allergic effects such as Paraben or Phenoxythanol Methylchloroisothiazolinone.
