Should I Splurge on a Cleanser?

By , About.com Guide

Question: Should I Splurge on a Cleanser?
Answer: Save your money on the cleanser and instead spend it on the products that actually spend time on your face. Why? You're basically paying for the package and the luxurious ingredients when it comes to cleansers. And you're just washing it off.

Basic drugstore cleansers do an excellent job of removing excess oils and dirt. You don't need fancy ingredients for that. Even the fanciest dermatologists and skincare specialists recommend basic drugstore cleansers and moisturizers to clients.

You're better off spending money on luxurious moisturizers that don't strip your face, but rather lock moisture in. Here's a list of cleansers from cheap to steep.
