Our skin can be a very sensitive subjective, especially as our bodies show signs of aging. Wrinkles, liver spots, acne and dry skin can happen to anyone, and often do. But they don’t have to, and there are a number of products and types of products on the market designed to help us avoid these issues altogether. One of those types of products is facial cleansers.

The first thing you might want to consider when choosing the right cleanser for you is the sensitivity level of your skin. If you have been particularly sensitive to creams and other topical solutions in the past, it might have been due to the fragrance present in the solution. Fortunately, finding a fragrance free solution isn’t hard. Simply look for water-soluble cleansers like Olay Foaming Face Wash. The list price is about $20 an 8 oz. bottle, but you can find it for cheaper fairly easily, so it’s certainly affordable. Best of all, it is oil, soap and fragrance free. The only noted drawbacks are that the wash can leave a slight residue, so more time is required for removal, and it is best used purely as a general facial cleanser as opposed to a makeup remover.

If you’re looking for a multi-purpose cleanser and do not have sensitive skin, there are a few excellent products out there, one being Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser. It is a little harder to find at a cheap price, unlike the Olay Foaming Face Wash, but if you’re looking for a makeup remover in addition to a facial cleanser you would be hard pressed to find a more effective product. Most users have found it to be more effective than cheaper alternatives, removing even the heaviest of makeup applications with relative ease. Again, there are some drawbacks like the unnecessary use of plant oils and a minority of users claiming it dries their skin out over time, but most find this to be a relatively gentle and effective multi-purpose cleanser.

Fresher, more vibrant and younger looking skin need not be achieved through sometimes messy cleansers. An easier to use alternative to cleansers can be found in a number of cleansing cloths. One of the more highly rated products is the Olay Daily Facial Cleansing Cloths. Most find it extremely convenient with packages coming in a set of 30 for ease of use. The cleansing cloths can also be bought in addition to the general cleansers as an alternative while traveling. Like the Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser, it can also be used for makeup removal.
