Gentle cleanser for dry skin as a second cleanse: HEEDA charcoal foam

Why look for a gentle cleanser for dry skin?

Once autumn hits, my skin gets bone-dry and I start feeling that inner dryness, so I went looking for a mildly acidic cleansing foam that finishes moist rather than squeaky-clean. The product I switched to this time was HEEDA's cleansing foam.

My skin normally sits somewhere between dry and combination, and how dry it gets shifts with the season.

What are the texture and foam of the HEEDA charcoal cleansing foam like?

At first I assumed the charcoal would leave my skin feeling squeaky-clean. The actual texture was black, and even a normal amount produced rich foam. With enough foam, there was less friction when rubbing my face, and cleansing felt easy.

How does HEEDA charcoal foam fit double cleansing on makeup days?

I've always double-cleansed, whether I only wore sunscreen or full makeup. I'd remove everything first with a lip and eye remover and a cleansing cream or milk, then go straight into a second cleanse with HEEDA's foam. I'm still not sure whether skipping straight to a single cleanse would work for me.

How does dry skin feel after washing with HEEDA charcoal foam?

I used to look for that squeaky-clean finish, but now the dryness that follows it feels like too much. This product had a slightly slippery feel that took a little getting used to, but it finished non-squeaky and just moist enough that I was happy with it. My husband and I are both using it daily now.
