Cleansers are an important part of maintaining fresh, clean skin. They help remove dirt, grime, makeup and dead skin off of the surface of the skin. Removing the extra debris off of the skin also helps amplify the effects of treatments, or anti-aging ingredients as it helps increase the skin’s absorption.

Cleansers can potentially irritate dry skin, and cause inflammation if the product is too harsh. Dermatologists recommend mild cleansers that are designed for people with dry or even sensitive skin to ensure that it does not worsen the vulnerable surface of the skin.
