The 5 Best Cream Cleansers for Dry Skin
An all-encompassing cleansing session can be one of the most relaxing and awakening parts of a daily skin care regime. In the morning, cleansing can help prep the skin for moisturizer, serum and sunscreen to come. In the evening, cleansing can help remove dirt, oil, impurities, and pollution built up from the day so you can snooze with a clean canvas.
In today’s world of endless product options and launches, shopping for something as fundamental as an everyday cleanser can start to feel a bit overwhelming. If you have dry skin, the process can be a bit more cumbersome since many traditional cleansers can strip the skin of moisture. That’s where cream cleansers come in. “I like cream cleansers for dry skin,” says board-certified dermatologist and Skincare.com consultant, Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali. “They can help nourish skin.” If you’re on the hunt for a cream cleanser that can nourish your dry skin, you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, discover our picks of the five best cream cleansers from the L’Oréal portfolio of brands.
