which is best cleanser or face wash - #28495
I am trying to figure out which is best cleanser or face wash for my skin! Like, I’ve been having these crazy breakouts lately, right? I used to just wash my face with a bar soap – I know, I know, totally not the best idea! My skin got super dry and then oily at the same time…it was a nightmare. So, I went to the store and saw all these options like, facial cleansers, face washes, foaming this, creamy that, and honestly, I got super confused. Some friends told me a cleanser is what I need and others swear by face wash. But like, what is the actual difference? How do I know which is best cleanser or face wash for my skin? I’ve got combination skin, sometimes it’s dry near my cheeks and oily on my forehead! I've been trying a few cleansers that say they’re gentle, but I can’t tell if they’re really helping or just making things worse! Ugh, why is skincare so complicated? I don’t want to keep spending money on stuff that doesn’t work, ya know? Which is best cleanser or face wash that actually works for acne-prone skin? Any advice would be super helpful!
