Welcome to our curated collection of face washes designed to meet every skin type and concern. Whether you're battling oil, dryness, or sensitive skin issues, choosing the right face wash is key to maintaining your skincare routine.
Here, we'll break down the ins and outs of face washes. Scroll through to learn which face wash is right for you.
Understanding Face Wash Essentials
Did you know that even today, around 54% of people don't use face wash? Where 60% are men and 48% are women, they don't even know how important face washing is, especially before bed.
The main job of a face wash is to clean the skin and remove dust. Every day, our faces consume a lot of dust and dirt that we can't see with our bare eyes. If we don't wash it off, it causes acne, rashes, or even more pigmentation.
On top of that, if you use sunscreen, it's essential to wash your face with a face wash.
So, in short, let's break down the benefits of using a face wash:
- It removes dirt, oil, makeup, and pollutants from your skin.
- It gently exfoliates, helping to clear dead skin cells.
- It keeps your skin balanced and hydrated by maintaining your skin's pH.
- Massaging it in can improve blood circulation, giving you a healthy glow.
- Using the right face wash can even help you look younger.
- It allows your other skincare products to penetrate better and work more effectively.
Once you see all these benefits, it's easy to understand why face wash is essential for skin care.
Choosing the Right Face Wash Based on Skin Type
The first step to start using face wash is choosing the right facial wash that matches your skin type. There are 5 skin types, each requiring different face washes. So, before jumping into any skin care products, know your skin type.
Here, I will discuss the best face washes for each skin type.
Oily Skin
Oily skin produces extra oil, especially in the T-zone, which can clog pores and lead to acne. You need a face wash with ingredients like salicylic acid or ceramides to clean oily skin. Other ingredients that matter for oily skin are,
- Hyaluronic acid for added extra moisturizer
- Niacinamide to Soothe the Skin
- Benzoyl peroxide to minimize breakouts.
Recommended Face Washes for Oily Skin: Himalaya Oil Clear Lemon Face Wash, Simple Moisturising Facial Wash, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash.
Dry Skin
Dry skin often lacks moisture and can feel rough or tight. So logically, dry skin requires a hydrating face wash that locks in moisture without stripping away natural oils.
Look for ingredients like:
- Hyaluronic acid and ceramides for deep hydration
- Glycerin is used to draw water into the skin to plump and smooth.
Recommended Face Washes for Dry Skin: Himalaya Aloe Vera Face Wash, Neutrogena Oil Balancing Facial Wash, Vitamin E Gentle Face Wash.
Normal Skin
If your skin is well balanced—not too oily or too dry, it means you have normal skin. Normal skin requires a face that is gentle, non-irritating, and fragrance-free.
A mild, plant-based wash is ideal, as it won’t irritate or upset your skin’s natural balance.
Recommended Face Washes for Normal Skin: Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel, Cetaphil Pro Foaming Face Wash, Boots Rose Face Wash.
Combination Skin
Combination skin means some areas (like the T-zone) are oily, and others (like the Perioral area) are dry. This type is common, especially in Bangladesh. Most combination skin has an oily T-zone and dry areas around the lips.
The face wash for combination skin must be free of oil, fragrance, and comedogenic ingredients. It should clear away oil and dirt without drying out sensitive areas.
Recommended Face Washes for Combination Skin: Biore Charcoal Face Wash, Lakme Minimalist Face Wash, and CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Bar.
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin reacts easily to external or internal factors, such as allergens and irritants, causing redness, itching, swelling, etc.
So, choosing the right face wash for sensitive skin is a very sensitive task. A face wash for sensitive skin should be gentle and fragrance-free, with ingredients that hydrate and soothe, such as,
- Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and niacinamide for hydration,
- Soothing botanicals like aloe
- Antioxidants like green tea polyphenols.
These ingredients help calm irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and provide hydration without causing redness or dryness.
Recommended Face Washes for Sensitive Skin: Cetaphil Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser, and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel.
So, what’s your skin type, and which face wash has worked best for you?
When and How Often to Use Face Wash
No matter how mild or well-suited your face wash is, using it roughly can irritate your skin.
So, you need to know when and how often you can use your face wash.
Many of you don’t even know that using face wash daily is necessary, but how often should you use it in a day?
It’s recommended to wash your face twice a day. Here are some helpful tips:
- Before bed: Washing your face at night is a must.
- Avoid Morning: Avoid washing your face right after waking up. Your skin produces sebum overnight, which helps with the aging process. Washing it away can lead to dryness and early signs of aging.
- After using sunscreen: It’s important to wash your face after wearing sunscreen to remove it properly.
Note: Don’t wash your face twice in a row. Instead, try double cleansing with a gentle cleanser.
How to Use Face Wash
We often overlook the correct face wash method, which can lead to mistakes. While it seems simple, many of us don't know how to use it properly.
Here's the right process for using face wash:
- Cleans Your Hands: Wash your hands with soap before touching your face.
- Wet your face: wet your face with water.
- Apply the face wash: Take a little amount of your face wash and make a foam. You can rub it in your hand or use a cleansing tool like a foaming mesh or dispenser.
- Massage gently: Now gently massage the foam onto your face for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Rinse: Then rinse off your face thoroughly with water.
- Dry your face: Finally, pat your face dry with a clean towel or tissue. Alternatively, you can let it air dry, which is my personal favorite.
This little awareness of using face wash will help you get the most out of your skincare routine and keep your skin healthier and more radiant.

Face Wash Based on Gender
Yes, even gender-based, there are different types of face washes. Men's skin is typically 20–25% thicker than women's.
So, according to the different skin conditions of men and women, here are some face wash suggestions for men and women separately.
Face Wash for Men
Men's skin is generally thicker, contains more collagen fiber, and produces more sebum than women's. So, it is clear that men need a different skincare routine than women. Whereas different faces as well.
Many brands have worked on men's skincare and have brought us different face washes for men. Let's see some of these,
- Garnier Men Acno Fight Anti Pimple Face Wash
- Intense White Face Wash For Him
- Ustraa Face Wash
Face Wash for Women
As women have very soft skin and are triggered by almost anything, they need extra care and less alkaline face wash. The face wash should contain specific ingredients for specific issues and fewer chemicals.
Here are some face washes for women you may try:
