Mild cleansers are specifically designed to be gentler than regular brands. Because milder variations usually don’t contain added colour or perfume, they are less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. All cleansers will remove the accumulated dead skin cells, oil and dirt on the surface of your skin, but mild formulations tend to avoid completely stripping all of the protective oils. Newer types of cleansers include non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) foams and creams that are suitable for all skin types. Uniquely innovative is a dual action cleanser plus toner that can effectively clean pores to remove impurities while toning your skin. Look for cleansers containing an exfoliant, such as salicylic acid, to encourage skin cell turnover, and nourishing botanical extracts. These special formulations will gently clean, while providing the added benefit of leaving your skin moisturized. A simple regimen of twice-daily cleansing and moisturizing will help restore your skin’s natural balance.
