The Skin Nerd: Finding the right cleanser for your skin type 

Whether you're dry, oily-skinned or looking to brighten, there's a recommendation for you.

If you are dry-skinned or dehydrated skinned, a lotion or a cream cleanser is going to feel more comfortable on your skin.

The humble cleanser does not get enough credit. A good cleanser removes the remains of the day without irritating your skin – a great cleanser does that and can treat your skin concerns too. Your cleansing step prepares your skin for the entirety of your skincare routine, creating a clean receptive slate for your acids, hydrators, nourishers and other active ingredients. I can’t get enough of cleansers, and personally, I love to customise, so I could have four or five on the go at once. Like a tool kit for your skin, I use the cleanser that will benefit the skin that faces me any given moment – oily, dehydrated, spotty or what have you!

If your new year resolution is to take better care of your skin, you simply must start with your daily cleanser and if your current just isn’t cutting it, do not fret, as I am here with some recommendations for you.
