Facial Foam [For Dry, Oily, Problematic Skin] – How to Choose Facial Foam

What is foam cream?

Cream Foam Cleanser is a gentle cleanser with a pleasant texture designed to remove make-up residue and moisturize the skin. It effectively cleanses and moisturizes the skin, without having an aggressive effect on it and without disturbing the hydro-lipid balance.

The format got a double name due to the fact that the product is stored in a container and is distributed from the dispenser in the form of a loose cream, but when washed, it turns into a fairly thick foam. This is the difference between the cream-foam and the “classic” facial foam, which foams directly at the moment of squeezing out of the bottle with a foaming agent.

What is a foam cleanser for?

In general, this format of cleansers (foams, cream-foams and gel-foams for washing) has its advantages:

  • gentle action: foams, as a rule, contain more delicate cleansing components, gently affect the skin and do not cause a feeling of tightness;
  • economical consumption: thanks to active foaming, you may need less product to clean your face (compared to a regular face wash);
  • ease of use: there is no need to waste time whipping the product with your hands – classic foams are formed immediately when you press on the dispenser, and cream-foam foams on the skin during normal massaging movements when washing. This gives a special pleasure to the washing process, causes a feeling of lightness and freshness.

How to choose foam or cream-foam for washing?

There are many options for cleansing foams: for all skin types, for teenagers (for young skin) or anti-aging (for aging skin), budget and not so, exfoliating or deep cleansing … Today we will talk about how to choose the most optimal foam, depending on from skin type.

For dry skin

The foam may contain not only cleansing, but also moisturizing components, allowing you to maintain the required level of moisture in the upper layer of the skin and its hydrolipidic barrier. Pay attention to how you feel when using the product: if you think that the selected foam dries the skin, try looking for a product with a more delicate composition.

For oily and problem skin

For washing oily and problem skin, you should pay attention to the foam that meets the needs of such skin. The use of such a foam can gently and gently remove excess sebum, effectively cleanse pores and maintain a slight matting effect.

For normal skin

Foam for washing normal skin of the face can take into account all its individual needs, and also contain both cleansing and moisturizing components that help maintain the hydrolipid balance of the skin and its protective properties.

For combination skin

When choosing a foam for washing combination skin, it is important to consider that sebum is actively produced in the T-zone, and the dry zone may suffer from a lack of lipids. Therefore, the foam should have a fairly active cleansing effect, but at the same time not provoke a feeling of tightness and discomfort in dry areas of the skin of the face.

For sensitive skin

Foam for washing sensitive skin can contain not only cleansing and moisturizing, but also soothing ingredients. They help soothe sensitive skin and reduce the severity of its reactions to aggressive environmental factors.
