Frequently Asked Questions About Our Face Wash and Facial Cleansers

What type of face cleanser is best for oily skin?

For oily skin, a face cleanser that effectively removes excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture is ideal. Look for cleansers with ingredients like salicylic acid, which helps to gently unclog pores and control oil production. Foaming cleansers can also be beneficial as they help to remove excess oil and leave the skin feeling refreshed.

What type of face wash is best for dry skin?

For dry skin, a face wash that provides gentle cleansing without stripping away the skin's natural oils is recommended. Look for hydrating face washes that are formulated with moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. These ingredients help to nourish and hydrate the skin, preventing dryness and promoting a softer, more supple complexion.

What type of facial cleanser is best for combination skin?

For combination skin, a balanced approach is key when choosing a facial cleanser. Look for cleansers that effectively cleanse the skin without stripping away its natural oils or causing excessive dryness. Gel or foam cleansers are often well-suited for combination skin as they offer a thorough yet non-drying cleanse.

Can I use a cleanser to remove makeup?

Yes, many cleansers are designed to effectively remove makeup along with dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin. However, for heavier or stubborn makeup, you may need to utilise a dedicated makeup remover or use a double cleansing method combining a makeup remover and a cleanser for a thorough cleanse.

How often should I wash my face?

The frequency of face washing depends on your skin type and personal preference. For most people, washing the face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, is sufficient. This helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities accumulated throughout the day and overnight.

Should I use hot or cold water to wash my face?

It is generally recommended to use lukewarm water to wash your face. Extreme temperatures can be harsh on the skin. Hot water can strip away natural oils and moisture, leading to dryness and irritation. Cold water, on the other hand, may not effectively remove dirt and oil from the skin.

Are Paula's Choice facial cleansers tested on animals?

No. Paula's Choice is committed to being a cruelty-free brand, and we do not conduct animal testing for any of our products. All of our products, including our facial cleansers, are 100% fragrance-free and clinically proven to be non-irritating.
