The efficient skincare routine and the efficiency of the skincare products themselves greatly depend on the skin type. Choosing the right products that are suitable for that skin type is the best thing that you can do for your skin and see the benefits yourself. That is why a trip to a dermatologist is always a good idea and suggested approach as early as the teen years. During those years, the type of skin is being formed, which is the base for determining the appropriate skincare products.
With so much offer on the market and the abundance of products, one can easily get lost in the search for the right skincare routine. However, there are certain ingredients that are great for each skin type, and that is a great direction to start with when looking for your next set of skincare routine cosmetics.
Dry skin ingredients
Dry skin is skin that lacks moisture and hydration, and keeping the water balance within the skin cells can easily be achieved with the use of adequate hydrating products. The ingredients that you should look for in the hydrating and moisturizing creams and serums are Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Hemp Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Ceramides, Aloe Vera. Here in the Philippines, the weather can change from hot and dry to chilly, leaving the skin dehydrated. These ingredients will greatly affect the dry skin, leaving it moisturized, plumping, and glowing.
Oily skin ingredients
Oily skin usually is acne-prone skin, resulting in excess sebum production that affects the pores. The crucial routine here is to balance the sebum production and treat the skin with suitable care. The best ingredient for this skin type is Vitamin C, Rosehip Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, salicylic acid, witch hazel, retinol. Don’t use alcohol-based products because they will trap the oil inside the cells and cause an acne breakout.
Sensitive skin ingredients
Sensitive skin is usually itchy skin, with redness and sensitivity to the sun and certain ingredients. It needs to be treated gently, with products containing ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, lactic acid, green tea extract, Niacinamide, Cica, and natural ingredients like Shea butter, honey, etc. This type of skin easily reacts to new products, so, each needs to be carefully tested on some part of the face.
Combination skin ingredients
The combination skin represents itself with a combination of dry and oily skin in different areas, such as the T-zone. It does require special care and ingredients that will treat the oily skin and milder and natural ones for the rest of the face.
Normal skin ingredients
The normal skin type is the easiest one to manage since it allows experimenting with different products and ingredients. However, the greet tea extract, PH-balancing ingredients, antioxidants, etc are the best ones to look for in normal skin products.
