Beauty hack: Choose your cleanser wisely

If you are fond of using just any type of cleanser on your face, you might want to rethink your cleansing strategy.

According to Web MD, the best thing you can do for your face is to use the gentlest cleanser you can find – and use it sparingly.

While the temptation may be great to wash your face several times a day – especially if you have oily skin – you should not give in. If you wash your face more than twice a day or use a harsh cleanser, you can damage the natural lipid barrier, the protective mantle of lubrication that keeps the skin looking and feeling healthy.

Once that protection is lost, your skin starts to crack, peel, itch, burn or sting and these could result to you looking older than your years.

Solution: Do not wash your face too often and use products that contain moisturising ingredients like glycerine, and anti-inflammatories like Niacinamide or Vitamin B3.
