Cleansers: Do they differ? Do they matter?
Cleansers are the critical starting point for any home care regimen. unfortunately the majority of cleansers sold out there are detergent cleansers. detergents are not good for the skin at all. Truly gentle cleansers are really hard to find. Just because the label says so or they clam that it is dermatologist recommended does not mean it is a gentle cleanser. That is just marketing hype. It is what the ingredients are that matters. Cleansing for 10 seconds with a detergent cleanser will strip your skin of its essential lipids. detergent cleansers generally make peoples skins more sensitive and are bad for everyone.
