Cleanser

The term ‘cleanser’ is sometimes used interchangeably with face wash even though they are different from each other. While it’s true that they both remove oil, dirt, and makeup from your face, the way they clean your skin isn’t quite the same. The main difference is that a cleanser is not just about cleaning but also soothing and hydrating your skin. 

At Ultraceuticals, we offer cleansers with different formulations to accommodate different skin types (normal, dry, and oily). As a one-stop shop for all your skincare needs, we also carry an extensive range of corrective serums, exfoliators, moisturisers, foaming and gel cleansers, UV sunscreens, body creams and lotions, eye creams, masks, and makeup removers. 

In addition, we offer customers free online consultations via Zoom where you can talk with one of our qualified skin specialists who can recommend a tailor-made daily skincare regimen or a professional treatment routine based on your skin type and skincare goals. 

What is a cleanser used for?

A skin cleanser cleans your face. But it doesn’t stop there. While removing the debris, dirt, and gunk that have accumulated on your skin throughout the day, face cleansing products have a special formula that soothes and hydrates the skin at the same time. For this reason, they usually come with a thicker and richer consistency than the usual cleansing face wash. Additionally, they have special ingredients that nourish your skin and balance your complexion. 

At Ultraceuticals, we carry cleansing products for face that are gentle on your skin, i.e., they don’t strip your skin of its natural oils, so they are ideal for many skin types, including combination skin. Incorporating a cleanser into your daily routine makes sense, especially if you notice that your face feels tight or too dry after using a strong facial wash. 

If you have oily skin, consider using a cleanser for face in the morning and a facial wash at night to maintain a balanced moisture level in your skin.

What are the benefits of using a cleanser regularly?

A cleanser plays an important role in your daily skincare routine. Without it, your skin may look dull and may be prone to whiteheads, blemishes, and other skin concerns. To help you better understand the benefits of cleansing cream for face, read the list below. 

Keeps the skin clean and fresh

The best cleanser removes oil, dirt, and debris but is still gentle on the skin. Throughout the day, your skin is exposed to pollution, dirt, and germs, which makes daily cleansing an important part of your skincare regimen. 

Boosts hydration

Aside from keeping your skin clean and fresh, a cleanser also hydrates and soothes your skin, making it radiant and soft to the touch. In a nutshell, this product helps manage the pH levels of the skin, enabling it to retain enough moisture to keep it looking young and healthy. 

Maintains clear skin

By helping remove excess oil and dirt build-up that can bog down your pores, a cleanser can help lessen the frequency of breakouts.

How often should you use a cleanser?

No matter how busy you get, you should always cleanse your face at least once a day. For those with oily or combination skin, washing two times a day (morning and night) is ideal. 

If you have oily skin, you can likely tolerate more cleansing than someone with dry and sensitive skin. Though most individuals are advised to wash their face morning and night – this is especially important for those with oily skin. 

Even if you feel like your skin is still clean from last night’s cleansing, it remains important to wash your face in the morning to help clear away excess oil as the dead skin cells on your body sheds while you’re asleep. The idea is to protect you from gunk and impurities that clog your pores, helping to minimise the occurrence of breakouts and to keep your skin refreshed and revitalised.

However, washing your face too often is not recommended. If your skin feels flaky, dry, and tight, it may be a sign that you are overwashing. Remember, your skin produces natural oils that are also beneficial; removing them completely might be counterintuitive, as your sebum-producing glands could ramp up oil production to compensate for the lack of it.
