Cleansing Foam

Cleansing foams produce a light lather that helps remove excess oil, sunscreen and daily impurities. They are commonly selected by people with normal, combination or oily skin, although gentle and moisturizing foam cleansers are also available for dry or sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently with your fingertips and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. A large amount of foam does not necessarily mean better cleansing, and strong formulas may leave some skin types feeling dry. Choose a mild product made for your skin type and follow with moisturizer when needed. Dermatologists generally recommend gentle cleansing rather than scrubbing or using abrasive tools.
