Best Face Wash for Dry Skin in India

As a dry skin person, I have always faced difficulties in finding the best face wash for my skin type. In the time when we have such a huge amount of choices or options, it becomes really hard to count upon one. The best face wash is not the one that is inexpensive, it is not also the one which is branded, but something that must work for the particular skin type.

Dry skin has its own saga to tell and only a dry skin person can understand the pain. Our skin does not retain sufficient moisture and thus, we experience scaling, itching, and many more skin problems. Naturally, we need such a kind face wash that is not only enriched with helpful ingredients but also retains moisture or at least makes our skin hydrated.

Often, people with dry skin ask me a number of questions. Most of the times, the questions are similar. So, in the following section, I have tried to jot down three of those queries.

1. I have Dry skin; Can I use Foaming Face Wash?

Myristic Acid-based foaming face wash is not a very good option for dry skin people. Those are way too drying. Rather, go for a soap-free gentle formula that can hydrate and moisturise skin at the same time.

2. Should I use Herbal Face Wash on My Skin?

Well! The herbal face wash has no base these days. And honestly, ingredients say it all. A herbal face wash might be SLS free or may not. So, the purity and efficacy depend upon the ingredients not the mere number of active ingredients or the so-called herbal ingredients.

3. What are the Good Ingredients to Choose for Dry Skin?

SLES, Hyaluronic Acid, Decyl Glucoside, Coco-Glucoside, Potassium Cocoate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, etc. are ingredients that are safe and effective for dry skin.

Tips to Take Care of Your Dry Skin

• Do not scrub your face with harsh cloth or scrub.
• Exfoliate twice or thrice a week. But do not overdo that.
• Make sure to wash your face with cold water.
• It is better to use a soap-free formula and mild cleansers. If you are using soap, make sure it is a moisturising one.
• It is better to use fragrance-free formula
• No matter how hydrating your face wash is, do not forget to use a moisturiser after you wash off your face.
