Whether you have oily, spot-prone, dry, mature or combination skin, here are the best cleansers to suit your skin…
By Felicity Williams & Abbie Schofield
A good cleanser should be a part of everyone’s daily beauty routine. The age-old rule to never go to bed with your makeup on exists for a reason — not washing your face can result in clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes. Not only do cleansers remove dirt, SPF and makeup, but they leave the skin feeling and looking revitalised and refreshed. With cleansers out there to remedy any concern, from angry breakouts to tight, dry skin, we’ve selected our favourites.
