A cardinal sin, as far as skincare goes. The makeup and sunscreen you wear during the day can clog your pores at night…
This can and lead to pimples, blackheads, acne and age your skin faster. So always use a cleanser before bed.
This is a part of skincare that many of us skip. Big mistake.
Several studies have shown that not using SPF can lead to long-term skin damage like wrinkles, faster ageing, pigmentation, dullness and more.
Some people with oily and acne-prone skin tend to skip moisturizer, which is a big no-no.
Moisturizing is essential for all skin types – dry, oily or combination. People with oily skin can benefit from gel moisturizers.
Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, salicylic acid, ceramides, AHAs, BHAs… the list of skincare actives goes on.
While actives are all the rage currently, using too many of them in one routine can actually be counter-productive.
If you are a skincare novice, do your research before including any active in your routine. When in doubt, best stick to a simple CMS routine – cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen.
Using skincare products in the right order is very important! Generally, products should be layered from thinnest to thickest.
Serums are formulated with small molecular weight actives so they go before moisturizers, which are denser.
