The very first step in a skincare routine is washing your face. Isn't it? Hence, it is important to buy a face wash that is neither harsh nor very mild. A good face wash should effectively cleanse your face from dirt, sweat, excess sebum and makeup. It should also help unclog your facial pores but without stripping the natural oil from your skin or making it dry and tight. Your face should feel clean and refreshed and give out a naturally healthy glow.

Things to Remember Before Buying a Face Wash
1) The thumb rule while shopping for a face wash - always buy a face wash based on your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin then gel and foam-based face washes are ideal. An oil-control face wash that deeply cleanses your skin and eliminates excess sebum and impurities is a good pick. Do check if it is alcohol-free and contains tea tree oil, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, charcoal and/or AHA as its ingredients.
Dry skin people need gentle cream-based facial cleansers. Hypoallergenic and non-foaming formulas with moisturizing ingredients like honey, aloe vera and even ceramides and hyaluronic acid are best for them. Sensitive skinned people should ideally go for mild foaming cleansers that are free from fragrance, parabens, alcohol, harsh exfoliants and chemicals. Dermatologists recommend micellar waters for combination skin types.
2) When trying out a new face wash or any skincare product, it is always best to buy a small-size bottle or sample pack (if available). This not only lets you know if the face wash suits your skin in fewer washes but also helps you decide if you want to repurchase it in full size or not.
3) Apart from checking out the ingredient list, understand the meanings of a few big jargon that commonly appear on the label. For example: 'non-comedogenic' means that the product will not clog your pores, 'dermatologically-tested' means that the product is tested by a dermatologist/s while 'hypoallergenic' means that the product is unlikely to cause any allergic reaction.
