Cleaning acne prone skin as gently as possible is one of the most important steps one must follow in order to sucseed in war against acne. Doctors, dermatologysts advice to have our skin cleaned twice a day with a gentle skin cleanser. Most of us do follow these advices thinking that we do the right thing.
All skin cleansers are not a like and we must read the ingredients list to make sure that they don't have the substanses which will irritate our skin or even worse - to give us more brake outs. Don't just go and buy a cleanser just because you derm told you so or because it is all over the news. I think by now we are all smart enough to see the difference between advertisement and real things. Most gentle cleansers are cleansers based on 100% natural ingredients. The only way to find out if a cleanser made with natural ingredients is to check the inngredients. If you see something in there that you can not even pronounse or you don't know what it is, then don,t buy it. Most likely it will irritate your skin and make your acne worse.
Lately, we read a lot about using just warm water as a skin cleanser to clean acne prone skin. It's been discussed in many different skin care forums and blogs. We also get many positive responses from people who uses just plain water twice a day without any skin cleansers or soaps. When you think about it, it does make sence that water has probably most minerals than any cosmetic cleanser on the planet.
