How to choose a face wash gel

Of course, you need to start with a thorough study of the composition of the gel. No matter what type of skin you are: dry, oily, combination – the safest and most gentle care will be provided to you by products that do not contain alcohol, parabens, sulfates, especially SLS (Sodium Lauren Sulfate). You should also be suspicious of silicones (Quanternium or Polyquanternium). But plant extracts with a bactericidal, softening effect will provide the skin with fullness and help build an additional barrier layer.

Even when choosing a gel, customers rarely pay attention to the smell, they say, this is not the most important thing, but at the same time, if the “washer” does not suit your sense of smell, you will soon set the bottle aside. And again, look at the composition. Perfumed aroma indicates the presence of fragrances, and this is an extra “synthetics”. The ideal option is the gel is completely odorless or with subtle plant notes.

In no case do not buy a gel that contains mineral oil. This is a petroleum product, whose “trick” is that at first it moisturizes and softens the skin well, and then it dries it out a lot. Plus, it imperceptibly clogs the ducts of the sebaceous glands, which leads to the formation of comedones and blackheads.

And finally, the best face wash is the one that matches the age-related characteristics of the skin. There are three types of funds here:

SVARBU! Use face wash only for evening care. In the morning, the skin does not need intensive cleansing from dust and cosmetics, so a light foam or tonic will be enough for it.

Eksperto nuomonė

Tatjana Egorycheva, kosmetologė:

– From the common myths about cleansing: there are gels for washing for the season. Like, some dry the skin too much in the summer, some do not provide sufficient moisture in the winter. In fact, if the washbasin does not initially give you uncomfortable sensations, then you do not need to change it often. The exception is cases when the skin really reacts strongly to the change of seasons, becoming more oily or, on the contrary, dry. But then it is better not to take a gel for washing, but to switch to more gentle cleansers.

Well, besides, girls sometimes like to just change their makeup. I want another jar, a different smell, a novelty. For God’s sake! But remember that the shelf life of quality products is quite short and you simply will not have time to use up all the jars that you spent on.

And one more thing about the marketing ploy. In advertising for washing gels, manufacturers like to talk about extracts of medicinal plants that are part of them. However, in order for them to begin to have a beneficial effect on the skin, they must be applied for at least 15-20 minutes, which, of course, no one does in the case of cleansing before bed. Therefore, their presence in masks and creams is necessary, but washers are useless due to the short duration of exposure.

Questions of interest to readers about how to choose the right gel for washing, what useful components should be included in the composition of the products, and which ones should be avoided, will be answered by Varvara Marchenkova – Founder and Chief Technologist of KHIMFORMULA

How to choose the right gel for washing?

The right choice of face wash gel is the key to effective cleansing and a healthy look for your skin. The determining factors in choosing the right cleanser are the current condition of your skin and its type, as well as climatic conditions.

When choosing a gel for washing, carefully read the composition on the label. For dry skin, the high percentage of sulfates contained in the product is detrimental. On the label, they are hidden behind the abbreviation SLS. Opt for mild plant-derived surfactants such as cherimoya fruit enzyme concentrate, cocoglucoside derived from the fermentation of coconut oil, corn starch and fructose, or cocamidopropyl betaine derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil. Such a tool is suitable for daily cleansing not only of dry facial skin, but also of normal and combination, as well as oily and problematic skin and will not overload it in the summer.

What beneficial ingredients should be included in cleansers?

Dry facial skin requires increased hydration, so it is important to choose cleansers with a high content of moisturizing ingredients, such as extracts of chamomile, rose, centella, aloe vera, ginseng, rice bran, cucumber, vegetable glycerin, D-panthenol, polysaccharide complex, hyaluronic acid, sodium lactate, vitamins C and F, urea. These actives have strong hydrating and barrier functions, ideally care for dehydrated skin, relieve irritation, fight peeling and protect the stratum corneum from external influences. They work equally effectively and safely at any time of the year.

In a cleanser for oily skin, it is desirable to have a complex of fruit acids and Retinol, which are responsible for the proper functioning of the sebaceous glands, regulate sebum production, eliminate oily sheen, renew and tone. 

Gel for problem skin often contains salicylic acid, zinc, aloe vera, tea tree essential oil. These components absorb excess sebum, soothe the skin, have a powerful anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, and prevent acne.

What ingredients should be avoided in cleansers?

Regardless of your skin type or condition, avoid alcohol-based formulations that list the following ingredients on the label: Alcohol Denat., SD Alcohol, Alcohol, Ethanol, n-Propanol. They can cause irreparable damage to your skin, especially during the hot season when the skin suffers from a lack of moisture.

An excess of essential oils in the composition can cause a serious allergic reaction. In summer, these concerns are most relevant, since the furanocoumarins contained in many essential oils, under the influence of sunlight, provoke serious burns of the skin.

The high content of glycerin in the cleanser, which is recognized as a good skin moisturizer, can backfire in the form of dryness, tightness and inflammation. The optimal percentage of glycerin in the product should not exceed 3%, so feel free to refuse a product that has glycerin on the label in the first line of the composition.

How to understand that the gel for washing is not suitable?

When using a facial cleanser, as with any facial cleanser, monitor your skin daily. If after washing you notice redness and increased dryness, which with each new use of the product are aggravated by irritation, an allergic reaction, itching, crackling and inflammation, these are serious signs that indicate the wrong choice of cleanser. Discard it immediately and let the skin rest for a couple of days, avoiding washing with formulations with a high content of anionic surfactants, such as sodium laureth sulfate (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), sodium myreth sulfate (Sodium Myreth Sulfate). They aggressively affect the stratum corneum of the skin, provoke a violation of the epidermal barrier and increase the evaporation of moisture from the skin. 

Even on the hottest days, do not wash your face with cold or even icy water. Low temperature leads to vasoconstriction and outflow of blood, which slows down the sebaceous glands. The result is dry, irritated skin. Use room temperature water for washing.
