• How Well Do You Know Your Skin?

It is very important to know your skin type before buying any skincare products as there are no skincare products that are bad but it depends on the skin which is best suitable as per your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin and you use a product that provides your skin with more oil and makes your skin appear oilier than before you will be disappointed. 

And if you have acne-prone skin and use the products that lead to further breakouts it may damage your skin. So never buy what is shown or is trending. So before going for any product know your skin type. There are different skin types like normal, dry, oily, and sensitive skin types.

Normal skin type is the luckiest one that is normal with no extra oil secretion on the skin. And there is a worry to search for the products but avoid any harsh skin care products that may end up your skin drying out.

While oily skin has more sebum production and thus this type of skin needs a product that does not contain more oil in their product. Products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and benzoyl peroxide are the best for controlling more sebum production from your skin. Oily skin type needs to wash face multiple times to avoid excess oil deposit on their face and the face wash for oily skin is the best suitable looking at the concern about oily skin. 

Sensitive skin is very sensitive to any product and they need mild products containing aloe vera, shea butter, and oatmeal. These ingredients provide moisture to the skin and have no side effects.

Dry skin also needs moisture to contain skincare products like shea butter and lactic acid that provide moisture to the skin and hydrate your skin.

If you are unsure of your skin type it is always recommended to consult the dermatologist and then go for the selected product as per your skin type.
