Been dragging a bit in the AM lately? If you're like most of us and don't function right until after your first cup of coffee... well, sometimes you just need a little extra pick-me-up to jump start your system. We've seen the soothing, relaxing effect that warming beauty products can have on us, but in the morning it's time for something chilly.
If you haven't tried a cooling face wash as a part of your morning skin care routine, you're missing out. These tingly, icy cleansers are a nice little shock to the system (think of a polar plunge for your face) that will delight your senses and leave you slightly less groggy. If you have acne-prone, oily or combination skin, you're especially going to love them for their oftentimes astringent and purifying properties. Take a peek at some of our favorite cooling facial cleansers — trust us, you'll want to try 'em all.
This sudsy face cleanser contains brightening vitamin Cand yuzu extract to brighten your complexion. It's formulated for combination skin and contains extra gentle scrubbing beads that provide the perfect amount of exfoliation — your skin is left glowy, smooth and soft. And best of all? It has a refreshing minty-citrus scent that wakes you up on contact.
This gentle cleanser creates an icy blast the second it hits your face. It's oil-free and contains glycerin, a humectant that helps keep the skin hydrated, while also soothing inflammation in acne-prone skin. We like the refreshing lather that rinses clean without any residue.
This zingy face wash gets its tingle from peppermint and tea tree oils that work to clarify and absorb excess shine. It also contains lactic acid, which helps to slough off dead skin cells, keeping pores free and clear. Pro tip: apply a thin layer and leave on for one minute before washing your face for deeper cleansing and exfoliation. If you suffer from occasional adult acne and uneven texture, you are going to love this one!
Wake your face up to the aroma of spearmint, grapefruit and lemon! This face cleanser is packed with gentle exfoliating beads and produces a rich lather. It also features brightening and anti-aging ingredients like panax ginseng and coffee. Use it daily to reveal softer, smoother, brighter skin.
