- Facial Cleansers: The products are capable of removing oils, make-up and impurities from the skin. These cleansers prepare the skin for more treatments.

- Facial Exfoliants: They are designed to cleanse impurities and remove dead skin. Yes, they have a rough texture with additional features, like acne control or skin smoothing.

They’re top products that can help the skin get a refreshing and appealing look.

- Moisturizers: they add moisture to the delicate skin of your face, thus building a protective barrier on the surface and maintaining moisture level beneath the layer.

Know your skin type

The next consideration is to evaluate your skin type so that you can make a better choice.

- People with oily skin normally have oily zones on the cheeks, nose and forehead that increase chances of acne.

- Normal skin types don’t need regular care. They have higher level of circulation that maintains healthy complexion.

- Aging skin has wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and drooping areas on the neck and around the eyes.

The area of your search will be reduced once you get to know about you skin type as not every product is suitable for every skin type.

Skin care ingredients to consider

Evaluation of ingredients in your chosen product is among the most important factors to make a sound decision. Most of the ingredients in famous products provide different treatments and the formulas differ a lot from brand to brand and product to product. So, it is recommended to always check their formulas - like when you talk about moisturizers, Vanicream Moisturizing Skin and Guinot Radiance Renewal Cream 50ml have different ingredients.

Benzoyle peroxide-based products are normally used to treat acne because it has the capability to penetrate into the skin and prevent bacteria to affect other areas.

Salicylic acid is usually helpful in treating acne and is therefore, used in facial care products. It can give quick relief from breakouts and manufacturers even prefer it while producing spot treatments.

Needs per skin types

If you’ve got a normal skin:

You’ll need products like moisturizers, acne treatments, cleansers and exfoliants.

Mild cleansers are suitable for normal skin type, including alcohol, hazel and essential oils. Most of the products also have beta or alpha butters, hydroxyl acids, vitamins and oils.

If you’ve a dry skin:

Choose cleansers, moisturizing agents, exfoliants and different hydrating agents for facial care.

Make sure the following ingredients are mentioned in the formulas of the products for better efficiency: AHA, BHA (oils), Vitamin E and A, butters. Those are the top penetrating moisturizers you can find, and they respect the natural balance of the skin.

I you’ve got an oily skin:

Focus on products produced to control oil such as BHA and AHA, like glycolic acid and salicylic acid. Cleansers and essential oils with menthol and camphor can be used to work against irritation and removing the dead skin.

If you’ve got a combination skin:

Choose combined products boasting Vitamins E and A, butters, oils, BHA and AHA. Sunscreen is also necessary whatever the season.

If you’ve got an aging skin:

Vitamins, AHA and BHA are the most important. Essential oils are also available to reduce irritation, remove peeling and soothe the skin. Firming and moisturizers should be applied twice a day: when waking up and for the night (on a clean skin).
