Cleansing is an essential part of every skincare routine to keep impurities and bacteria at bay. However, if your skin often feels dry after cleansing, it could be a sign that your current face wash may not be suitable for your skin. Using the wrong face products such as ones formulated with strong chemicals can strip away your skin’s natural oils and damage your moisture barrier, leading to dry skin.
If you struggle with dry skin, you should definitely shop for hydrating facial cleansers to replenish your skin’s moisture levels. Opt for hydrating cleansers specifically designed for dry skin, as they are formulated to be gentle while still being highly effective in replenishing your skin’s hydration levels.
The best types of face wash for dry skin are formulated with purifying botanical ingredients that remove dirt, sebum and make-up without drying out your skin.
The Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser is packed with Aloe Vera extracts to moisturise the skin and prevent early signs of ageing. This foaming cleanser for dry skin also removes dirt, while hydrating and restoring balance to your skin.
If you have itchy skin due to severe dryness, the Soothing Gentle Foaming Cleanser will gently get the job done without irritating your delicate skin. Enriched with Alpine Herb and nourishing Shea Butter, this foaming cleanser is perfect for dry skin because it leaves your skin feeling soft and soothed.
Weekly exfoliation will also help to keep dullness away, so use the One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser to polish away dead skin cells, excess sebum and dirt from the surface of your skin.
As long as you use the right facial cleansers and toners that have been formulated for dry skin, it should not dry out your skin. However, you should be careful not to wash your face more than twice a day, as over-cleansing can cause dryness and make your skin more susceptible to fine lines, rough patches and blemishes.
Avoid cleansers and toners containing alcohol or strong acids, because these components are known to dehydrate and irritate the skin. If you’re looking for a hydrating toner for dry skin, the Soothing Toning Lotion comforts very dry and sensitive skin, while the Precious La Lotion Anti-Ageing Treatment Essence contains anti-ageing properties to moisturise the skin and improve radiance.
The common dilemma that plagues most women with dry skin is: “How do I know whether my skin needs hydration or moisture?”
The truth is that your skin needs both. Hydrating ingredients prevent water loss on the outermost layer of the skin, while moisturising ingredients retain hydration and fortify the skin’s barrier protection against moisture loss.
Clarins’ cleansers for dry skin provide both hydrating and moisturising benefits to keep your skin smooth and supple after cleansing. Shop the full collection of hydrating cleansers and toners for dry skin here.
