If your face squeaks after washing, your cleanser is too harsh — and stripped skin fights back with more oil. The goal for oily, acne-prone skin in Bangladesh's heat is a cleanser that removes sweat, sunscreen and excess oil but leaves the skin barrier intact. Foaming and gel cleansers suit oily skin; harsh bar soaps and alcohol-heavy face washes do more harm than good.

What to look for (oily/acne-prone)
- Gel or foaming texture, low-pH (around 5.5).
- Active options: salicylic acid (BHA) cleansers help unclog pores — but use once daily, not every wash.
- Fragrance-free if acne is active.
- No harsh sulphates or high alcohol that strip and trigger rebound oil.
- Double cleanse at night if you wear sunscreen/makeup: oil cleanser first, then this.

How to wash (without over-doing it)
Twice a day — morning and night — with lukewarm (not hot) water. Over-washing or scrubbing strips the barrier and worsens oil. At night, double cleanse if you wore sunscreen or makeup: an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve them, then your gel cleanser. Pat dry, don't rub.
Common mistakes
- Using a "squeaky clean" harsh wash → rebound oil and irritation.
- Washing 4–5 times a day thinking it controls oil — it doesn't.
- Hot water stripping the skin.
- Using a BHA cleanser AND a BHA toner AND an exfoliant — over-exfoliation. Pick one acid step.
