Conclusion
These are the best face wash in India. This list includes an overview of the best face wash for every single category out there- dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin, combination, acne prone skin and for specific use of men or women. This guide can help you in choosing the best product in the market without having to worry about the reviews and ratings each product has online. We have carefully chosen only the ones that have the best ratings and the ones that customers vouch for.
Face washes are pivotal for face hygiene and effective maintenance of the facial skin. The skin around the face, ears and neck is susceptible to debris of smoke, dirt and impurities when you step out and is mor=st vulnerable when you come in contact with direct sunlight. Always thoroughly clean the skin around these areas to avoid any build-up of oil and dirt that can cause clogging of pores and cause acne and other skin ailments. Remember to follow this up with a soothing moisturiser so that you can lock the hydration back into the skin after a thorough face wash.
FAQs: Common concerns regarding face wash for oily skin
1. Can Face washes be used regularly on the face?
Yes! Face washes are absolutely safe to be used regularly on the face. Conventional soaps are much harsh and dries the skin out but a face wash is formulated to match the pH of the skin and comes in various different format to suit what you require for your face.
2. Is face wash better than a soap?
By all means, a face wash is better than soap. Soaps are made from chemicals and sulphate based compounds which are not good for the skin in the long run. Face washes are formulated with active key ingredients to target specific concerns and are much safer these days as they strive to keep it SLS, Paraben and Toxic chemical free.
3. How can I determine which face wash is best for my skin?
The first step for that would be to identify your skin type. If you have oily and acne prone skin, you have plenty of options to choose from. If you have dry skin that feels stretchy and lifeless, choose a milk based creamy face wash. For sensitive skin choose a rosewater or aloe vera based face wash.
4. How are face washes, cleansers and scrubs different?
Face washes are mild in nature and more oriented towards regular usage, even 2 to 3 times a day. A cleanser is a heavy duty formula that targets deep pore cleaning and removes tough make up, dead skin cells, impurities etc. A scrub provides a mild exfoliation effect by slowly rubbing away dead cells and oil from the skin to reveal a fresh layer of skin.
5. Can men and women’s face wash be used interchangeably?
There is not much a difference between the two however more and more brands are trying to create a tailor made product for men and women when it comes to face washes. The men’s face wash takes into account the tough skin, facial hair and more dirt and dead cells build up on contrary to women’s face. Hence it is advisable to choose the one that fits your skin the best.
