How to Choose the Right Face Wash for Your Skin Type
A face wash is the first step of every skincare routine, but the wrong one can leave your skin tight, dry or greasy again within an hour. The truth is simple: different skin types need different cleansers. In this guide we show you how to find your skin type and match it with the right Nova Glow face wash for a clean, comfortable face.
First, Know Your Skin Type
Wash your face with plain water, pat dry and wait one hour. Then check: if your whole face feels shiny, you likely have oily skin. If your forehead and nose shine but your cheeks feel normal or dry, that is combination skin. If your face feels tight, rough or flaky, your skin is dry. And if it often turns red or stings with new products, treat it as sensitive and choose the gentlest options.
Best Choice for Oily and Combination Skin
Oily skin needs a cleanser that removes extra oil and dust without stripping the face completely, because harsh washing can make oil come back even faster. The Rice Face Wash is a gentle everyday favourite for this: rice-based cleansing helps the skin feel fresh, soft and matte, and it suits both oily and combination skin used twice a day. Wash with lukewarm water, not hot, and keep your massage short and soft.
Best Choice for Dry and Sensitive Skin
Dry skin needs kindness more than strength. A hydrating cleanser cleans away the day while leaving the skin’s natural moisture alone. The Hydrating Aloe Vera Face Wash is made for exactly this: aloe vera is loved for its soothing, cooling feel, so your face feels calm and comfortable after washing instead of tight. If your skin is dry, washing once at night and only rinsing with water in the morning is often enough.
Best Choice for Dull Skin That Needs Glow
If your main concern is dullness and an uneven, tired look, pick a cleanser with brightening support. The Saffron Face Wash brings the traditional glow of saffron to your daily wash, while the Vitamin C Face Wash adds the freshness of vitamin C, a favourite ingredient for brightness. Both give your routine a head start before your serum and cream even touch the skin.
How to Wash Your Face the Right Way
- Use lukewarm water: hot water dries the skin and makes oil glands work harder.
- Massage for 30 to 60 seconds: use fingertips in gentle circles; no scrubbing hard.
- Twice a day is enough: morning and night; more washing usually backfires.
- Pat dry, then moisturise: apply your cream while the skin is slightly damp.
