what is the use of cleanser - #28513
I am really trying to figure out what is the use of cleanser because my skin's been freaking out lately. I used to just splash water on my face, but it hasn’t been working. I've noticed a lot of blackheads and some weird dry patches. A friend of mine suggested I start using a cleanser, but I honestly don't get it. Like, how does washing my face with this stuff really help? I tried this gel cleanser for a week, but my skin actually felt worse! Like, were the extra ingredients irritating me, or is there something I’m missing? I also read somewhere that a good cleanser can be gentle yet effective, which sounds great, but can all cleansers really do that? I mean, what is the use of cleanser if it just makes my face feel tight and dry? So now I'm kinda lost, like do I need to look for one with specific ingredients? Should I be using it morning and night? What is the use of cleanser really? Especially if my skin is reacting so badly to it. Any tips or product recs that won’t just mess up my skin even more would be super helpful.
