Cleansers Having clean skin can give some protection from pimples but don't go overboard. Too much cleansing, more than twice a day, can actually damage your skin. Careful cleansing will remove some impurities and excess skin oils that can block pores and cause pimples and blemishes. However, for most people plain old soap and water will do the same job as the most expensive cleanser on the market.
Soap and water will also remove most forms of make-up. If your skin is very dry, or sensitive to soap, you may prefer to use low cost sorbolene. Toners Toners are also called astringents, and clarifying lotions. These are claimed to tighten skin pores, reduce the size of enlarged pores, and 'balance' the production of oil in the skin.
Research shows that these claims are untrue! Most of these products are made of alcohol or natural 'astringents' that can actually be quite harsh on the skin. The alcohol can make the skin feel 'refreshed' or tight and clean (just like men's after shave lotions, which are also alcohol based), but they do this by removing the oils from the skin, not by changing the size of the skin's pores.
People with dry skin actually need the skin's natural oils and can damage their skin by using toners or astringents. Toners can be useful for removing excess oils left by cleansers, but again, soap and water will do the same thing. If you like the way toners make your skin feel, it probably won't hurt to keep using them (unless they are too harsh and actually irritate the skin). You can usually get the same benefits from low cost products as you would from the more expensive brands.
Moisturisers Even though there is not a lot of scientific evidence that moisturisers make a difference, they can make the skin supple and therefore more resilient. There is some evidence that some ingredients in some moisturisers can protect skin. Read the directions before using them. Most people do not need 'moisturising' because the skin has its own way of keeping its moisture levels 'balanced'. But, if you like the way moisturiser makes your skin feel, go ahead and use it. Remember, you don't need to pay a fortune for a fancy product.
