What 4 ingredients should you avoid when buying your facial cleanser?

One of the most important step in your skincare routine is cleansing your skin.

I recommend cleansing your skin in the morning and double cleanse at night especially if you wear makeup.

It is important to wash your skin with a non drying sulfate free cleanser.

Why is that ? Are you asking..

Because it will strip out the moisture barrier of your skin, leaving it dehydrated..

Sulfates are a menace to your skin! Really you would be amazed on how many skincare products out there contain Sulfates.

Here is a list of 4 Sulfates to avoid.

  1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

    This is the most common Sulfate in skincare products. Itโ€™s also the most damaging to the skin. It will strip out your skin of its own moisture and can create irritation or causes eczema flare ups.

  2. Sodium Laureth Sulfate

    Slightly milder than itโ€™s predecessor but still dehydrating to your skin.

  3. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

    Often uses in low PH cleansers but still will dehydrate your skin.

  4. Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

    Yes! That one too. It will dehydrate your skin.

    Before you buy your next cleanser, look at the label and of course make sure it does not contain any of those iingredients.

    Instead look for one of those ingredients below that are safe and will NOT break the moisture barrier of your skin!

    Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

    Disodium Lauraminopropionate

    Cocamidopropyl Betaine

    Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

    Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate

    Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids

    Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

    Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

    Sodium Cocoamphoacetate

    Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids

    Just look at it this way

    your skin cells thrive in water and need water to live. You want to make sure that you are not using products that contain ingredients that will not compromise the hydration of your skin. Choose your cleanser wisely! avoid sulfates in your skincare.

As always my mission is for you to achieve your best skin!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!๐Ÿ
