You walk in the grooming aisle of the supermarket, seeing rows after rows of different face washes, tackling different needs. Choosing the correct one can be difficult.

A face wash is the building block of a man’s grooming routine. It can make or break your skincare needs. Starting off by figuring out what your skincare type is a sound idea.

While soap and water do the job to quite an extent, a face wash is a step-up from that catering to your specific needs. From gentle exfoliation and removing dirt and oil to laying the groundwork for your moisturizer and sunscreen is a must.

Here are the best face washes for men of every skin type.

A well-balanced skin type is broadly termed as ‘normal’. Your skin doesn’t get irritated or oil for the most part of the day.

A face wash with white clay and honey provide gentle purification while nourishing your skin. It removes dirt without stripping you off of your natural oils. You aren’t looking for a squeaky clean face but nourished skin with natural PH levels.

If your skin feels tight, dry and maybe flaky and can easily get irritated all over, you, my friend have dry and sensitive skin.

And if that’s the case, you want to look for soothing, healing ingredients like coconut milk and lavender in your face wash. Rich in lauric acid, coconut milk moisturizes, improves elasticity and softens skin while lavender relaxes your irritated skin.

You experience oily patches and a natural shine on your face. It’s because of the extra sebum your body produces.

One more reason could be the lack of moisture. 

Solution? A moisturizing face wash is what you need. Look for ingredients that control excess oil like lemon, giving you a refreshing feeling in the morning. Amazonian white clay is known for hydration and giving a matt glow. Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen.

Imagine your face has a “T” on it. The horizontal bar goes across your forehead - the vertical bar runs down to the tip of your nose. This is called the T zone. Guys who have combination skin have an oily T zone but dry/sensitive skin on the rest of their face.

This face wash provides intense oil control and fights acne which to be honest is enough to seal the deal. Lime extract and naturally sourced Salicylic acid combine together to check acne and blackheads.

All the products mentioned are free of parabens, sulphate and any kind of harmful ingredients.
