Cleansers

Cleansing removes sunscreen, oil and the day's grime without stripping the barrier underneath. Skin should feel comfortable afterwards, not tight. Oil and balm cleansers dissolve sunscreen and makeup best, gels suit oily and congested skin, and cream or micellar formulas suit dry and sensitive skin. The evening cleanse is the one that matters most; the morning one can be gentler, or water alone for very dry skin.
