32763 Cleansing efficacy of mild facial cleansers for sensitive skin

Abstract

Skin cleansing is a major part of our daily routine in modern life. While traditional cleansing liquids are highly effective at removing dirt, makeup, oil and sunscreen, they can also disrupt natural skin barriers such as essential skin lipids, which protect our skin from overdrying and becoming too sensitive to the surroundings. This kind of harsh cleansing can reduce natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and potentially cause problems for those with sensitive skin. Thus, mild facial cleansers have become highly popular in recent years.
