With summer approaching and the increase of temperatures raising the humidity. It’s absolutely essential to use products that keep your skin’s oiliness at bay. There’s many cleansers on the market that can make it a confusing choice of what to pick, so it’s important to know exactly what your skin needs in terms of ingredients and strength. Gel and foaming formulations are great for driving that excess oil out of your pores. We recommend the cleansers you should be adding to your skincare shelfie that will allow balance to your skin’s oil levels during the warmer seasons of the year.
+ The Nourisher – Youth to the people, Superfood Cleanser.
With cold-pressed antioxidants, this cleanser allows you to gently wash away make-up and any excess grime. Described as a ‘fresh smoothie’ in your face, this cleanser has ingredients such as Kale, Vitamins C, E, K and Phytonutrients that feed your skin the perfect concoction to allow it to thrive. Massaging this into your skin for 30 seconds, is the correct way to allow the ingredients to absborb into the skin effectively. The Superfood cleanser is an ideal cleanser if you want to add a product to your routine that brings a vitamin boost!

+ The Combo – CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with Salicylic Acid
This gel formula cleanses gently whilst smoothing out the skin, due to the combination of Salicylic acid. The Salicylic acid focusses on exfoliating the skin gently whilst you cleanse and with the added touch of Hyaluronic Acid, the skin is able to retain its natural moisture so you’re not left with dry and tight skin! The gel is packed with essential ceramides that also protect the natural barrier of the skin, so it doesn’t disturb your skin’s PH balance.
You can purchase the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with Salicylic Acid at Boots.
+ The PH Friendly – COSRX Low-pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
With the focus on being mild, the CORSX Low-ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser is great for having a gentler approach to your routine whilst not disrupting it. Even though this is more targeted at dry and sensitive skin, it can even be great for oiler skin as it won’t completely strip your skin’s natural oils. This formulation however is better if you wear light make-up, as it won’t heavily cleanse down heavier make-up. A double cleanse with this product is definitely a must!

+ The “Does what it says” – La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel
The Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel is more high on the high tolerance spectrum of facial washes. The gel is strong enough to withstand lifting any make-up, dirt and grime from skin without leaving it tight and and dry. As with most La Roche-Posay products, the cleansing gel is suitable for ultra sensitive, intolerant and allergy-prone skin which is great news if you need something vigorous yet to some extent gentle. Without disrupting the skin’s PH levels, the cleansing gel also reduces spots and blackheads, leaving the skin feeling clean for the next step of your routine!
