Which Skincare Products Are Better??
I’ll be honest, choosing the best skin care products that work for me is so tough. Especially if you are someone like me who not only experiences acne-prone skin, but textured skin, sensitive skin, and has a combination or oily and dry skin.
What are you looking for?
The first question you need to ask yourself before you purchase any type of product is what are you even looking for? There are so many products you can use for your skincare. Such as:
• Face Cleanser
• Face Moisturizer/Night Cream
• Toners
• Eye creams
• Serums
• Spot Treatment
• Sunscreen
• Masks/Face oils
You also need to choose exactly what you want to treat or what your concerns are. Such as:
• Acne-prone Skin
• Textured Skin
• Uneven Skin
• Anti-aging
• Dark Spots
• Fine Line & Wrinkles
• Dullness
However, before you choose any of these, you need to figure out whether you have dry, oily, or a combination type of skin.
Best Ingredients to look for
Obviously depending on the kind of concern and the kind of product you choose; the ingredients will differ. But the majority of the time, some of the ingredients are the same. Which is why it is important to know which ingredients work best for our skin and which will be the most beneficial. Some ingredients that are good for skin include:
• Aloe Vera (everyone’s favorite)
• Alpha-Hydroxy Acid: helps get rid of dead skin cells for a brightening effect. Most popular include lactic acid and glycolic acid.
• Antioxidants: helps protect skin from environmental stressors
• Argon Oil
• Benzoyl Peroxide: highly effective for treating acne
• Green Tea: helps with anti-aging
• Jojoba Oil
• Vitamin E
• And so many more!
This is just the beginning of the list. But these ingredients are the most effective in products. The one ingredient that you should definitely AVOID includes fragrance. The skin on your face is too sensitive and could definitely have a reaction to any fragrance in the products.
When to use the products
You must be wondering, “There are different times that I use different products??” And the answer is YES! We are told to wash our face in the morning and at night. The only thing that’s left is to find out which product we use when. Now, just a disclaimer, you don’t need to use every single product I’m about to mention for your day and nighttime regime. But you should use the main ones. And just for you guys, I will bold them to show how important those products are.
Daytime Regime
• Cleanser
• Toner
• Antioxidant Serum
• Eye Cream
• Spot Treatment
• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen**
** I can’t tell you how important sunscreen is for your skin!! You don’t want to moisturize, that’s fine but applying sunscreen can really help your skin from the damages of the sun and protect it from causing your skin to be textured, have many scars, cause dark spots, and so much more. One even layer of sunscreen can protect your skin!
Nighttime Regime
• Cleanser
• Toners
• Eye Creams
• Treatment Serums
• Hydrating Masks and Face Oils
• Moisturizer or Night Cream
The best thing to remember is that your daytime regime should be to protect your skin all day and your nighttime regime is to treat and hydrate your skin. Always remember that.
