The Best Skincare Product?
Share
One of the most popular questions that we've heard for the past decade is, "What's the best skincare product?" There is really nothing like the best skincare product. Now, let me explain why. There isn't any best all in one skincare product because skincare products work differently for different people. Some might be based on the skin type to some extend. A product that might seem to be the best skincare product for one person might end up being the worst for another person. Therefore, a more logical question to ask would be, what is the best skincare product for my type of skin?
However, this still is not entirely logical. We tend to segregate people into 5 groups based on their skin types i.e., dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, normal skin, and sensitive skin. Nevertheless, this classification is just too broad to be used definitively in determining the best skincare product. Well, at least we can say that the best skincare product for dry skin or the best skincare product for oily skin is better statements than just the best skincare product.
Basically, it really comes to rephrasing the question to what is the best skincare product for me. Yes, this is precisely the question that you should be asking, and unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this. Arriving at the best skincare product for yourself will need some effort on your part.
First of all, you need to understand how skincare products work. This is simple, you can consider all skincare products to be composed of 2 types of ingredients, and that is, active and inactive. The active ingredients are the ones that actually work on your skin. The inactive ones help in delivering these active ingredients to your skin. Both the ingredients need to work for your skin, in order for the product to be effective and move on to become the best skincare product for you.
Apart from the ingredients, the way you apply your skincare products is equally as important. As a matter of fact, this is the most important. If you do not know how to apply your skincare products, you might forever be hunting for the best skincare product for yourself, when that has already passed you. Moreover, it is also vital to decide on the frequency of application of the skincare product. Do not over it while having the wishful thinking of speeding up the results, no ladies, it doesn't work that way. Also, the environmental factors succh as temperature, humidity, and pollution level, also affect the selection of best skincare product. Here are a few rules that you could use to ensure that your best skin care product is really the best for you:
- Cleanse your skin before applying that best skincare product.
- Use a toner after cleansing before applying the product. Many people skip this step, try not to if you have the time!
- Apply the products on moist and warm skin. This will ensure that the products get fully absorbed into the skin.
- You will have to experiment with a few products before you arrive at the one that is the best skincare product for you.
- Using a makeup remover instead of plain water and remove your makeup before going to bed.
- The effectiveness of active ingredients is reduced when applied over another product e.g. over moisturizer. So use that best skin care product first and then apply a bit of moisturizer if needed.
- Please do not exfoliate too much or too hard; we recommend exfoliating once per week. Exfoliating should not last longer than 30 seconds else it might damage ur skin.
- Vary your skincare routine accordingly to the seasons, winter, summer, etc. Changes in environmental factors will definitely have changes in your skin type.
Keep in mind that the best skincare product cannot be determined overnight. It might take a couple of experiments, awareness, and testing before you can finally find the best skincare product that's best suited for you.
