Her World Beauty Awards 2022: Best cleansers and makeup removers

These are the best washes and cleansers for a dewy, supple and glowy complexion

by Vanessa Chia   /   April 26, 2022

Cleansing is the cornerstone of any good skincare routine. Whether you have combination, sensitive, dry, oily or acne-prone skin, it’s important to find a cleanser that balances your complexion. A cleanser that is too harsh and drying can strip the skin of its natural oils.

On the end of the spectrum, a cleanser that is too light might not be able to wash away the day’s grime, excess sebum and makeup. This explains why it’s so important to find a cleanser that works, so the rest of skincare products can effectively penetrate the top layers to work their magic.
