Do you have dry or sensitive skin, or is your skin prone to breaking out? The culprit may be a chemical buildup from your current skin care products. The best answer may be to replace your existing cleansers with natural skin care products.

The best natural sensitive cleanser ingredients are glycerin, olive oil, or sorbitol based.

Personally, I have learned that stripping the skin of all its natural oils in an effort to “cleanse” the skin is actually a misconception that contributes to many skin problems. In order to retain skin’s natural pH balance and moisture, there is only one way to wash. Even expensive department store brands are not necessarily good for your skin; so the best washes to use are those that contain sensitive skin ingredients such as olive oil, sorbitol, or glycerin.

The only way skin can really protect itself is to make use of its natural moisture and oils; common cleansers that use sodium laurel sulfates or salicylic acid as the main ingredient are definitely stripping your skin of its own oils.

Because the stripping action produces more dead skin cells, they will begin to act as a barrier to any moisturizers you use; even the most expensive and potentially effective moisturizers will not be able to adequately rehydrate your skin when faced with this wall of buildup. The layers of skin that can use the moisture to rehydrate and renew your skin cells will never actually be properly effected by the moisturizer. This is even worse than if you had not cleansed your skin in the first place!

Always be sure to check the list of ingredients on any so-called sensitive cleanser product to make sure you are not wasting your money. To eliminate dry, irritated skin, look for natural sensitive skin cleanser products that work with your skin’s natural oils.
