Proper care is the key to the beauty and youth of the skin. Using special products from adolescence, it is possible to prevent the appearance of acne, early formation of wrinkles, to maintain the water-fat balance. Skin health directly depends on its cleansing. Previously, it was just washing with plain soap and water. But such care often led to dry skin, a violation of its lipid balance. Today manufacturers offer a huge selection of cleansers for every taste and wallet.

Gel is the most common type. It not only cleans from various impurities, but also has an anti-inflammatory effect. Unlike soap, the product does not dry out the skin. Thanks to a balanced composition, selected specifically for a specific type, it moisturizes and nourishes. It often includes herbal extracts, oils and specialty medicines.

When choosing a gel, you need to consider the following points: age and your skin type. Smell and consistency are also important. A light, unobtrusive scent indicates the absence of perfumed fragrances in the composition. A medium-thick texture will foam well and will not spread when washed.

Products from popular brands guarantee safe and gentle cleansing. Before buying a gel of an unknown brand, it is worth studying the composition in order to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions. Experts' experts have compiled a rating of the best products for problematic, dry, oily and sensitive skin, as well as universal and cleansing gels, taking into account the reviews of ordinary buyers.
