Taking care of sensitive skin requires a delicate touch, and the first step to protecting sensitive skin is your cleanser. An oil-based cleanser like Clean Slate Barrier Boosting Cleanser is going to be the best face wash for sensitive skin types. While the idea of using oil on the face might seem counterintuitive, an oil based cleanser has proven to be a blessing for those with sensitive skin. In this post, we'll explore the myriad benefits of incorporating an oil based cleanser into your skincare routine and why it's a game-changer for sensitive skin.
- Gentle Makeup Removal:
Sensitive skin often reacts negatively to harsh chemicals found in traditional makeup removers. Oil-based cleansers offer a gentle and effective way to remove makeup without causing irritation. The sunflower seed and meadowfoam oils in our Clean Slate Barrier Boosting Cleanser work to dissolve and lift away makeup, even stubborn waterproof formulas, without the need for excessive rubbing.
- Maintaining the Skin Barrier:
The outermost layer of our skin, known as the lipid barrier, plays a crucial role in protecting against external aggressors. Oil-based cleansers help maintain this barrier by providing a boost of nourishing oils. This protective layer helps prevent moisture loss, keeping the skin hydrated and less prone to sensitivity.
- Balancing Sebum Production:
Contrary to common belief, using an oil-based cleanser does not necessarily lead to oily skin. In fact, these cleansers can help balance sebum production. By using a cleanser with the right blend of oils like Clean Slate Barrier Boosting Cleanser, you signal to your skin that it doesn't need to overproduce sebum to compensate for dryness. This balance is essential for those with sensitive skin prone to inflammation.
- Reducing Inflammation:
Sensitive skin often reacts to environmental stressors, leading to redness and inflammation. The soothing properties of Clean Slate Barrier Boosting Cleanser, such as chamomile and calendula, can help calm irritated skin. Additionally, oil-based cleansers are less likely to contain harsh ingredients that might exacerbate sensitivity.
- Preserving Skin Moisture:
Harsh cleansers can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and vulnerable. Clean Slate Barrier Boosting Cleanser, on the other hand, not only remove impurities but also help lock in moisture with sweet almond and apricot kernel oils. This is especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin, as maintaining adequate hydration is key to preventing irritation.
- Versatility for All Skin Types:
Oil-based cleansers are not exclusive to those with sensitive skin. Their versatility makes them suitable for various skin types, from oily to dry. Clean Slate Barrier Boosting Cleanser is non-comedogenic, ensuring that it won't clog pores or contribute to breakouts.
