How to Choose a Facial Cleanser

It’s about time to go shopping for a new facial cleanser,but before plunking down my hard earned cash, there’s research to be done.

When searching for any new product, it’s important to assess how you will use the product and what’s going to work with your skin.

So here’s my list about what my skin needs and what I’m looking for in a cleanser:

• Skin type:  Dry, mature.
• Fragrance:  A little is fine, but nothing over-powering, and I hate that “off” smell that so many fragrance free product have.
• Use:  Used daily in the morning.  Extra points if its good for use with the Clarisonic.
• Desired result:  Fresh and clean feeling skin, without tightness.
• Cost factor:  Affordable, by working persons standards.

Now I’m looking for suggestions and recommendations.

I’ll be starting to sample cleanser later this month, so if there’s a cleanser that you love, and that meets my skin care needs, please leave your suggestions in the comments.
