Skin cleansing can help to minimise oiliness of the skin and can also reduce the number of bacteria present on the surface of the skin. Skin cleansing can therefore help acne sufferers to keep their skin in better condition and it helps prevent outbreaks. There are several skin cleansing products available, some of them will be discussed here.
Cleansing Creams
Often used by people with dry skin, these creams contain water, waxes, mineral oils and petrolatum.
Lipid-Free Cleansing Products
These are best avoided by acne sufferers. They don’t remove oils very well.
Soap-Free Cleansing Bars
Ordinary soaps can be too harsh for the skin. Soap-free cleansing bars can be less irritating to the skin.
If you are in any doubt as to which cleansing products to use for your skin, it’s a good idea to get advice from a dermatologist.
