5 Most Loved Face Washes for Summer Season

If you ask a dermatologist to suggest only one product, they’ll definitely suggest a good face cleanser. Face washes are not merely the first step of skincare, they are the heart of nurtured, healthy and radiant-looking skin. 2 minutes of daily face cleansing with a proper face wash can make most of your skin worries go.

Our Indian market is flooded with face washes of every kind. The biggest question is what to use and what to leave. Our suggestion is, you choose something that suits your skin the most. If your skin is oily choose something that will clarify the skin without ripping the natural moisture barrier of the skin.

For those with dry mature skin, stick to soothing face cleansers without soothing ingredients like aloe or rose oil. People with sensitive skin should be extra careful while picking face washes. Look for gentle skincare ingredients like cucumber, sandal, or lavender. Stronger ingredients like tea tree or witch hazel might cause sensitivity to your skin.

Whatever may your skin type and condition be, your skincare choice should be gentle, coming from organic sources, and free from harmful constituents like parabens or sulfates. Make sure you test your skin’s current needs once a while and change your facial cleanser according to that.

Something that suits you in humid summer months might not be the best choice in dry winter weather. We want you to reap the best from your daily face cleanser; here’s India’s Most Loved Face Washes 2021!
