A Simple Guide to Natural Cleansers

Before you put on your face for the day, you want to be sure you start with a blank canvas. (Meaning: you want a squeaky clean face first!) 

​Oil, dirt, dust, makeup, sunscreen, and sweat are all reasons to wash your face and wash it well. The best way to naturally beautiful skin, is with natural cleansers, of course! Not properly cleaning your skin will lead to clogged-up pores, and a visit from some nasty little visitors: blackheads and blemishes. 

When you choose cleaners that are natural and plant-based, you are also avoiding sulfates, artificial fragrances, and toxic dyes. Sounds like a win-win. Cleansers don’t need to be harsh to be effective, in fact, the opposite is true. Cleansers that use surfactants and preservatives are hard on your skin and can dry out. 

It’s good to know what your skin needs. Picking the wrong cleanser will serve to only worsen any symptoms your skin is already experiencing. If you have dry skin, you want to stick with a cleanser that offers rich moisture and injects hydration into your skin. Foaming cleansers are a no-go for dry skin. Green clay is an excellent ingredient for absorbing excess oil, while still leaving your skin feeling hydrated. 

If your skin is oily, look for a cleanser that will degrease your skin, and help regulate the production of oil. If you have confused skin, as a lot of us do, find a cleanser for combination skin. These with both control oil, and promote moisture. 

Acne-prone skin needs a cleanser that will chill out all that redness, help calm inflammation and clogged pores. Cleansers with oatmeal and baking soda gently exfoliate acne-prone skin, while Dandelion root helps remove debris and toxins from your pores. Lavender is also great for calming the redness that comes with acne. 

Dull skin needs melanin regulation, to get rid of those layers of dull skin and brighten up that beautiful mug of yours. Maybe you’re on the sensitive side. Sensitive skin calls for a cleanser that will hydrate but won’t strip or irritate your skin. 

Aging skin is looking for ingredients that won’t strip the skin, but will promote elasticity, retention of moisture, and suppleness. Coconut milk offers rich fatty acids to help soften skin, and support collagen levels. 

Normal skin still needs a balanced cleanser; one that will reinforce both tone and hydration. Cleansers with activated charcoal offer detoxifying power, while still being gentle to your skin. Ingredients like mulberry, pineapple, and papaya are natural skin lighteners, to help you glow naturally.
