11 Best Face Washes for Dry skin

11 Best Face Washes for Dry skin

Hey Gorgeous,

Dry skin so uncommon nowadays… especially in summers when everybody looks like an oil factory but wait.. there are few like us who are dealing with dry skin as well. Though we get slightly sweaty due to heat but in the end we have dry skin and we can’t bear harsh cleansers that will rip skin off moisture.

I always find it hard to find a good facial cleanser/face wash for my dry skin as more than 70% of the face washes leave it dry and stretchy. I need something the cleanses my skin but still retain its moisture. The problem is even worse in winters when harsh winter winds sucks all the moisture from the skin leaving it all dull, dry and flaky. So, I am listing down few of the Face washes that are compatible with dry skin.
