The 10 Best Facial Cleansers for Summer Skin

Double cleansing is absolutely essential to healthy skin. This is because the first cleanse helps to remove makeup, dirt oil and impurities, while the second cleanse can actually do its job of cleaning your skin. Pixi's Double Cleanse was created in collaboration with skincare guru Caroline Hirons, so you can bet your bottom dollar it's a fabulous cleanser. The first cleanser is oil-based, which helps to draw out impurities, oil and suncream from the skin. Containing a blend of vitamins and luxurious oils, it's excellent at removing makeup, all while keeping delicate summer skin hydrated. The second cream-based cleanser then helps to nourish and protect thanks to its unique peptide complex.

Anyone with sensitive and easily irritated skin will know that the summer months are some of the hardest to keep your skin in good condition. As the sun dries out the skin, it can cause extreme sensitivity in your skin and leave it looking red and feeling sore. La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser is completely free from common irritants and feels immediately soothing and cooling on sun drenched complexions. The lightweight milk gently cleanses away impurities, oil and sunscreen to leave skin feeling refreshed and clear, while its hydrating formula helps increase comfort, suppleness and moisture.

Don't be fooled that just because your skin is more sensitive in the sun, it doesn't need exfoliating. All the suncream and products you put on your skin need to be cleansed and buffed away so they don't get trapped in your pores and cause breakouts. In order to ensure the exfoliator doesn't strip your delicate summer skin however, it's always great to choose one built into a moisturising cleanser. The Elizabeth Arden Exfoliating Cleanser contains a blend of Vitamin E and Glycerine, which helps to soften the skin, while exfoliating beads buff away dead skin cells and impurities. The result is a beautiful complexion, which looks and feels super healthy and radiant.

Origins A Perfect World Cleanser is the perfect antidote against the sun's rays thanks to its free radical protection technology, which keeps the skin looking youthful, healthy and glowing. Enriched with minerals which help to extract dirt and oil from the pores and unblock congestion, alongside antioxidant-rich White Tea to protect the skin, the cleanser feels soothing and calming on the skin. It's brilliant to use both before and after a day in the sun to keep your skin looking gorgeous on your holiday.

Sometimes you need a little cleanse by the pool or sea if you have easily irritated skin. Salt and chlorine can immediately dry out the skin, so using a portable cleanser as soon as you get out the water will ensure your complexion stays comfortable. The This Works In Transit No Traces Pads are infused with Water Mint and Rosewater to immediately hydrate and nourish and will leave your skin feeling refreshed and softened. As they come in a handy portable tub, they are easy to pop into your beach bag and use whenever your complexion needs a little energising boost.
