Skincare: My Top Favourite Cleansers

Skincare: My Top Favourite Cleansers

Proper cleansing is the first and most important step in any skincare routine. Using a cleanser that removes excess sebum, dirt, sweat, and impurities—without stripping your skin—is essential for maintaining a healthy moisture balance. That's why I want to share my go-to facial cleansers that keep my skin clean, hydrated, and comfortable.

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser

One of my favourite gentle cleansers is the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. It's a gentle face wash that is fragrance-free and hydrating. It is formulated with three essential ceramides to restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier, and with hyaluronic acid to help the skin lock in moisture. Though it doesn't have a foamy or soapy texture, it cleans without leaving my skin tight or dry, making it perfect for daily use, especially if your skin needs consistent moisture.

The isClinical cleanser is another favourite of mine because it’s safe for all skin types. It's a lightweight, gentle cleanser with a soft, pleasant fragrance. What makes it stand out is its versatility. It works as a cleanser, makeup remover, and toner, giving you a minimal, effective skincare routine in one step.

EltaMD Foaming Facial Cleanser

The EltaMD foaming facial cleanser is a top favourite for a reason. It has a rich, foamy texture that activates as soon as you massage a small amount onto damp skin. It's oil-free, pH-balanced, and suitable for all skin types, which makes it perfect for everyday use. The only downside is that it takes a little while to foam up. But once it does, it cleanses beautifully without stripping the skin.

Skinceuticals Blemish + Age Cleanser

The Blemish + Age cleanser is another top favourite I highly recommend, especially if you have blemish-prone or oily skin. It’s a gel-based cleanser formulated with glycolic acid and salicylic acid, two powerful exfoliating ingredients.
I love the cool, minty fragrance and the refreshing tingly sensation it gives when applied. Aside from cleansing and exfoliating, it helps brighten the skin and smooth skin texture over time.
