Consider changing your facial cleanser now that the weather is getting colder. Cold and wind cause your skin to produce less natural sebum, resulting in drier skin. Therefore, it's important not to use products that dry out your skin.
Cleanse with a foaming facial cleanser
There aren't many skin types that benefit from a strong foaming cleanser in the long run. Thankfully, most ecological skincare products are gentle despite their foaming properties.
A foaming cleanser is suitable for oily skin, combination skin with oilier areas, painful acne-prone skin, or touch-sensitive skin.
Odylique Lenom Tea Tree Facial Wash
Odylique's foaming cleanser is antiseptic, soothing, and antibacterial. It works well for impure skin, similar to Suki's cleanser. Since this is created with sensitive skin in mind, it's a better choice if you (also) have easily irritated, inflamed, or reddened problem skin.
100% Pure Coconut Oil Cleansing Milk
If you don't have issues with impurities or inflamed skin, but rather dry and sensitive skin, this coconut cleanser from 100% Pure is something for you. It has a thin gel-like consistency, moisturizes, and feels gentle on the skin. It barely lathers but contains a gentle cleansing agent that cleans delicately without drying out the skin and rinses off easily with water.
Cleanse with a cleansing milk
Cleansing milk is gentle on the skin and is a good middle ground for those who don't really have time for oil cleansing or find foaming cleansers too drying.
A cleansing milk is suitable for normal, dry, drier combination skin, or sensitive skin.
i+m naturkosmetik Cleansing Milk
i+m's cleanser for sensitive skin has a soft consistency and a mild scent of real vanilla. It's completely free from essential oils and perfumes. A fantastic well-balanced cleansing milk with a pH around 5, just like your skin. Contains soothing Aloe Vera, balancing jojoba oil, and nourishing almond oil among other ingredients. It does exactly what it promises—cleanses facial skin without drying out or irritating the skin.
Cleanse with an oil
Oil is the best choice for most skin types for the simple reason that the skin gets a deep cleanse and a light exfoliation without disrupting its natural oil or moisture balance. Massage in about 5-8 drops of oil directly onto dry and dirty skin. Place a warm and damp cloth on your face and relax for a moment. Wipe away the oil, makeup, and dirt with the cloth until all oil is gone. Oil cleansing can be beneficially combined with other cleansing methods to remove stubborn makeup or used 1-2 times a week for a deeper cleanse.
Cleansing oil is good for all skin types (except for skin that's painful or touch-sensitive) and especially beneficial if you wear makeup or need a deep cleanse.
Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt
An oil cleanser in the form of a soft balm. Wonderful for cleansing if you have dry and tight skin. The skin quickly regains its luster and softness. Wipe off with a warm and damp cloth, just like a regular oil cleanser.
Fushi Kalahari Melon Oil
Kalahari or watermelon seed oil is effective at dissolving excess sebum, has anti-ageing properties, and doesn't clog pores. It's therefore appreciated by all skin types, but especially by clogged acne-prone skin and mature skin. Watermelon seed oil is also suitably thin for cleansing and absorbs nicely as a facial oil as well as a hair oil.
