How to choose a face wash

Of course, carefully read the composition. The skin will be grateful to you if the basis of the facial wash includes components of natural origin: without silicones, parabens and sulfates. And even more so without derivatives of petroleum products – mineral oil.

The ideal foam facial wash should include a cleansing complex that does not dry out the skin, moisturizes without weighing it down and prepares it for the application of subsequent products – tonic, serum or mask.

One more thing: in the list of products indicated on the packaging of the foam for washing, the component that is presented in high concentration always comes first. Usually the leading positions are occupied by water (mineral or thermal) and soapy chemical compounds. Next – extracts and extracts from natural products – chamomile, milk, green tea and so on.

Depending on the type and purpose, the facial wash may include pantohematogen, hyaluronic acid, coenzymes, and light acids.

If the remedy promises to fight acne and comedones, then the good news is if it contains essential oils of medicinal plants – citrus, coniferous – and zinc. Praise beauticians and foams for washing containing beta, hydro and alpha acids. But we must remember that skin exposed to such acids is sensitive to UV radiation. And if you really love such products with such a composition, then only in winter.

Foam for washing based on lactoferrin, rice bran, volcanic ash, bamboo and other components that do not provoke allergic reactions will be a great success! Suitable for those with dry and sensitive skin. And if the composition includes egg white, grapes and blueberry extract, which perfectly moisturize any kind of dermis, then the skin will thank you again.

IMPORTANT! If you feel discomfort after washing with foam, there is a feeling of strong tightness of the skin or, on the contrary, a feeling of stickiness or oiliness, then most likely this product is not suitable for you. Perhaps you have not correctly assessed your skin PH and its individual characteristics.

Expert Opinion

Tatyana Egorycheva, cosmetologist:

– Still, I will not deviate from the opinion that the foam for washing is the main product for young and fresh skin, the owners of which do not want to spend a lot of time on the process of make-up removal and cleansing. Apply the finished composition, rinse and you’re done. But for those who have already entered adulthood, I would recommend using the foam no more than once or twice a week, and the rest of the time to adopt more gentle cleansing methods – micellar water, hydrophilic oil, milk. Despite the fact that Korean brands – and they are now leaders in the production of cleansers – have almost abandoned the use of sulfates, which means that consumers are not threatened with allergic reactions and overdrying of the skin, I still did not clean it “to a loud squeak”. It is quite difficult to restore lipid balance after 35 years.

And one more thing: when using a facial wash, it is better to apply it not with your hands, but with a sponge. For example, konjac is a porous sponge made from the root of the Asian plant Amorphophallus konjac. This will allow you to more carefully work out difficult areas, such as the corners of the eyes and the wings of the nose, and, in addition, it is more economical to use foam so that it lasts for a long time.
