Although a person’s skin is also related to genetics, there is no denying that acquired lifestyle habits and skincare habits can also affect the condition of one’s skin. To have good skin, choosing the right skincare products for yourself is a key step. However, choosing the right skincare products for you is really a time-consuming and costly process. What’s worse is that you spend a lot of money and effort on skincare every day and still spoil your face.

How do choose the suitable one from different kinds of skincare products?

The first step is to distinguish the type of your skin(Turn to an article on February 24)

Neutral skin: the ideal skin condition, with a moderate oil film, fine pores, a few acne, and a few allergies.

Dry skin: dry and tight, dull and prone to flaking, especially in autumn and winter, and prone to dry lines.

Oily skin: typical of acne-prone skin, very prone to acne, high oil secretion, and large pores.

Combination oil/dry skin: oily in the T-zone but dry on the cheeks, the whole face is not stable enough.

Sensitive skin: the cuticle is thin, and even can see the red blood, prone to allergy, redness, fever, itching, tingling, and other symptoms.

The second step is to select the right skincare products for you in a targeted way.

After having a clear idea of one’s skin type, it is time to make a targeted choice, which is also a slow process of experimentation. In fact, the skincare priorities for all five skin types are roughly the same.

Normal skin: cleanse moderately, pay attention to daily moisturizing and sun protection, and use mild, moisturizing skin care products.

Dry skin: Cleanse moderately, pay attention to moisturizing and hydrating, balance oil and water, use highly moisturizing and nourishing skincare products.

Oily skin: pay attention to cleansing and oil control, balance water and oil, moderate hydration, choose skincare products with the strong cleansing ability and certain oil–control effects.

Combination skin: moderate cleansing, zoning care, attention to oil control in the T-zone, hydration of the cheeks, targeted choice of skincare products.

Sensitive skin: moderate cleansing, attention to skin defense, repair of damaged barriers, selection of skincare products specifically developed for sensitive skin.

In addition to the above skin types, the choice of skincare products should also take into account the age of the individual, the environment in which they live, and other factors. For example, for different age groups, adolescents should pay attention to balancing water and oil and controlling excessive oil secretion; 20-30 years old pay attention to hydration and sun protection; 30-35 years old pay attention to hydration, nutrition, and anti-aging; after 40 years old, the focus is to supplement nutrition and anti-aging.

Choose skincare products to pay attention to these minefields!

1. Big name must be good？

A lot of people choose skincare products, like the products of big brands, one is because it is expensive, two is because it is used by many people. So people have the impression that expensive is good, others use it well. However, the most important thing to pay attention to when choosing skincare products is individual differences. Even if the same skin type, it may not be suitable for the same product. While brand-name products may seem reliable, they may not be right for you, and sometimes they cost more than you gain.

2. Know nothing about the additives

Before choosing skincare products, it is best to have an understanding of simple composition knowledge and look at the composition table before buying. Some skin care products add ingredients that are easy to sensitize, irritating, and used with caution by pregnant women, which will be risky for people with special skin types. Such as methylisothiazolinone, double imidazole alkyl urea has a certain irritation; Excessive addition of paraben preservatives is risky; Diphenylketone -3 can easily cause allergies; Retinol palmitate will affect fetal development and so on, choose skincare products to be careful.

3. Skincare products must be used assets from the same brand？

Some people choose skincare products, just let it form a complete set, buy whose toner, use whose clean face milk, actually not necessary. Most skincare products on the market do not have matching taboos, and there is no perfect match. Therefore, when we choose skincare products, it is not necessary to choose the same set.
