What should be the foam for washing: the rules of choice. The best foam cleanser Foam cleanser for face and eyes

Cleansing agent of the new generation are foams for washing. The foam is more pleasant to use than ordinary soap, it penetrates deep into the pores, cleanses them, and prevents the skin from drying out and tightening. The main difference between the foam cleanser and all other products is that a foaming agent is built into the bottle, and the skin is cleansed not with a concentrated product, but with a soft foam with a reduced content of surfactants.

A nice addition to this is a more economical consumption of funds. I pressed the dispenser once and got a portion of foam for a full wash. But it should be remembered that Asian manufacturers mean a slightly different means by foams. They do not embed a foaming agent. The product must be squeezed out in the palm of your hand and foamed with a special mesh.

The modern cosmetics market represents a fairly wide selection of facial cleansers. These foams differ in manufacturer, cost, and composition, which is suitable only for a certain type of skin.

The main criterion when choosing a foam cleanser should not be the belonging of the product to your favorite company, not its good price, but what type of skin you are the owner of.

Enlarged pores are clearly visible on it, which can become clogged with dust, cosmetic residues and fat. Constant and meticulous care is needed to avoid problems. For washing, you need to choose products with a maximum cleansing effect. But the product should not cleanse the skin “to a squeak”, because. this will provoke even more sebum production.

So cleansing should be effective, but delicate. The product chosen for washing should eliminate impurities, but not disturb the water and fat balance of the skin. Such foams for washing are presented below.

Grandmother Agafya's recipes airy cloudberry cleanser

So, we looked at the best foam cleansers, trying to indicate what type of skin this or that product is suitable for. But it is up to you to choose the best tool for yourself. After all, only you know your face and your skin thoroughly. Only you know what scents you like and how you tolerate different ingredients. Therefore, the final decision is always yours.

Whichever cleanser you prefer, in our selection you will definitely find something cool! And to make it easier for you to choose, we divided all products into “blocks”.

Micellar water

Micellar water appeared on the market much later than the usual gels and foams for washing, but quickly won the recognition and love of girls all over the world. No wonder, because, unlike "colleagues in the shop", micellar water does an excellent job with the most persistent makeup, but it does not require rinsing. The product got its name because of the micelles contained in it - the smallest particles, which are liquid spherical crystals. These "babies", like magnets, attract particles of fat and cosmetics from the surface of the skin and envelop them. After that, all impurities get inside the micelles, become, as it were, their “core” and no longer come into contact with the skin. Micellar water is your ideal remedy if:

  • Are you too lazy to remove makeup before bed?
  • you have sensitive skin;
  • Are you looking for one eye and lip make-up remover?

  • Do you like products with a “soapy” consistency?
  • Do you like to cleanse the skin "to the squeak".

Foam for washing - a gentle and effective means of cleansing. With its help, you can remove the remnants of cosmetics and impurities from the face, as well as solve some skin problems. In our article - an overview of the features of such products and useful recommendations for choosing foams for any type of skin. We will also tell you how to properly wash yourself using foams, and what else to look for when choosing.

What is foam for?

Why do you need foam? First of all, it is a cleanser. You can start your daily skin care routine with it. The main feature of such a product is a very soft, uniform texture. Thanks to the most delicate texture, the facial foam provides a deep yet gentle cleansing. The foam contains natural and safe ingredients, while effectively removing makeup, sebum residues, and external impurities. At the same time, the caring ingredients that make up the foams fight dryness and dull complexion, normalize the microrelief, improve skin tone, and enhance the effect of anti-aging agents.

Does texture matter?

When choosing a face wash, many people think about which texture to choose, especially since the products with positive reviews are impressively diverse. Of course, the composition is of primary importance, but in order to get the maximum pleasure and effect from daily care, you can also pay attention to the consistency.

Foam or gel?

Washing gel is usually recommended for oily skin. Such a water-based product is thicker, when washed, it acts on the face a little longer, which ensures the complete removal of all contaminants, especially sebaceous gland secretions. After the gel, the skin becomes fresh and soft.

Foam or mousse?

Mousse for washing, like foam, is airy, but its texture is more dense. It is optimal if the skin is prone to sensitivity or is of a combination type. The mousse is applied gently and without unnecessary friction and is just as easily washed off with water, leaving a feeling of comfort and tenderness.

Choosing the right foam

Ideal for daily use, it contains a cleansing complex that does not dry out the skin. At the same time, a good foam is always refreshing and moisturizing without weighing it down, it prepares the skin for the application of subsequent products - tonic, serum and cream. The best foam should have a high-quality composition, regardless of whether it is budget cosmetics or professional, and match the type of skin.

For dry skin

Dry skin reacts very quickly to improper care. Cleansing cosmetics for it should eliminate impurities without destroying the thin lipid layer. To maintain optimal water content in the epidermis, it is worth using products with hyaluronic acid and emollient oils.

For oily skin

The best option is water-based, oil-free. Foams with acids, such as fruit acids, will provide deep cleansing and provide light exfoliation.

For combination skin

For combination skin, a balanced cleansing with moisturizing is important. It is necessary to remove sebum from the T-zone to protect against blackheads and shine and saturate the remaining areas with moisture. Best of all, foams containing extracts of white iris, French rose, anise, white lotus and acacia honey will cope with this. Before using the foam, you should take care of the make-up remover. For this, special lotions or micellar water are suitable.

For sensitive skin

For skin prone to redness and irritation, a hypoallergenic foam cream with the most delicate texture, containing nourishing ingredients and rosehip oil, is suitable. It will not only provide gentle cleansing of sensitive skin, but also eliminate discomfort, restore an even tone and improve microrelief.

For problem skin

Foams cleanse the problematic type of skin gently, without unnecessary mechanical impact. Such products must contain emollient, anti-inflammatory and protective plant extracts, for example, algae extract. It is very important to choose cosmetics without sulfates and other "heavy" components.

Acne Cleansing Foam

Many herbal ingredients are effective against acne. Among them are lotus and anise extracts. They reduce signs of inflammation due to antibacterial action. Acids can only be present in high-end professional medical cosmetics.

For teenagers

For teenage skin, as for adult skin, phased care is important. Gently and deeply cleanses foam with acids of fruit origin and herbal ingredients. After it, be sure to use a tonic or lotion, and at the end of the care, apply a light moisturizer, such as a fluid.

For men

Men's foam in composition is not much different from women's. It may contain hyaluronic acid, herbal ingredients, essential oil and other caring ingredients. Its main difference is a simpler application: before washing, you do not need to perform additional actions like make-up remover.

Which foam is better depends on individual characteristics. In any case, the product with an airy texture will give a real pleasure from cleansing. The main thing is to find cosmetics, the composition of which is precisely adapted to the needs of your skin.


Foam for washing is one of the first cosmetic products that appeared on the market. She was loved for her delicate texture and versatility. It gently cleanses the dermis and fights many problems. It has a different composition, focused on a specific skin type.

Korean foams are very popular. As a rule, they contain many caring ingredients that help soften and moisturize. The range of Asian, European and domestic products in stores is quite wide.

  3. Suitable for skin type. For problematic ones, foams with lactic, glycolic, salicylic acid are more suitable. For dry - with natural oils.
  4. We pay special attention to the tasks that this or that drug performs.
