Is foaming facial cleanser any good?

Foaming facial cleanser is one that produces a lot of foam when you rub it gently. After applying it to the face, the foam can completely cover the face, cleaning stains in the pores, shrinking pores, and cleansing the skin. Whether it is a foaming or non-foaming type, as long as it is suitable for your skin, it is a relatively correct facial cleanser. You don’t have to deliberately choose a foaming type, you can buy it according to your personal needs.

Foaming facial cleanser - This is the most commonly used one, which is the surfactant type. The cleaning effect is achieved through the emulsification ability of surfactants on grease. This type of product has a stronger cleaning ability for water-soluble dirt.

Solvent type - This type of product relies on the oil-oil dissolving ability to remove oily dirt. It mainly targets oily dirt, so it is generally some makeup remover oil, cleansing cream, etc.

Foam-free facial cleanser - This type of product combines the characteristics of the above two types, using a moderate amount of oil and containing some surfactants

Soap facial cleansers are also one of these categories, but due to their obvious characteristics, they are generally treated differently from ordinary surfactant facial cleansers.

Different dosage forms have different cleaning mechanisms and different skin feel. Based on the needs of different skin types, I have the following suggestions:

1. Oily skin: People with oily skin secrete more oil than the average person, so they need to choose products with stronger cleansing ability. It is usually necessary to choose some soap products. Because soap products have strong degreasing power and are easy to rinse off, your skin feels very refreshed after washing.

2. Combination skin: This type of skin is mainly oily in the T-zone, while the cheeks are generally neutral and may be dry. Therefore, this type of skin needs to strike a balance between the T-zone and the cheek area. You cannot only consider cleaning the T-zone and choose products with very strong fat-removing ability, especially in the autumn and winter seasons. I have this type of skin, but my cheeks are neutral, so I usually use some soap-based facial cleansers in the summer. In autumn and winter, because the oil secretion is not so strong, you can switch to ordinary foaming facial cleanser.

Dry skin: It is best not to use foaming facial cleansers for this type of skin. You can use some cleansing oil, cleansing cream or non-foaming facial cleanser. Currently, cleansing oil products are found in some mid- to high-end products because compared to cleansing creams, these products feel more refreshing on the skin.
