1. For dry skin – Firstly, clean up your skin with micellar water followed by a creamy cleanser to add a tint of hydration.
2. For oily skin – You must go for an oil-based formula because sebum dissolves in oil. Therefore, using an oil-based cleanser can be beneficial. Post that, one can go for any gentle cleaner.
3. For combination skin - Your best bet is nutrient-rich, oil-based cleansers with ceramides, as they can help plump and moisturize your skin. The same is also true if you have normal skin. After that, a cream-based cleanser can be used.
4. For acne-prone skin - Reach for a gentle cleansing oil when removing your makeup. To keep your skin from breaking out and calm irritation, look for antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients like azelaic acid, glycolic acid, etc.
