Let’s say you wash, clean, and moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen whenever going out, and you still get acne and dark spots oftentimes. That’s when you know your skin might benefit from retinoids, although there is a lot to it. The first thing Dashe Beauty Salon’s stylists determine in a client is her skin type. Less is more when it comes to skincare so we don’t need ten different products; we just need the few right ones to fight acne.

Skin Types: Why Important and What Products To Use

How do you buy the right products for your face and body? It’s through understanding your skin type properly that you can take better care of it. Blindly applying retinol to your skin may be unwise because there are two steps of oxidization that the retinoid goes through once it touches your skin. We need retinol in its active form when it’s penetrating your skin for it to have its effect. 

Skincare to Control Oily Skin

For those who have oily skin, your sebaceous glands produce more oil and your skin type usually ends up with more acne and blackheads because all that extra oil clogs up pores and hair follicles, making it an ideal resting place for dirt.

To deal with it, you’ve got to clear out those dead skin cells from inside the pores, so dirt and oil don’t pile up and cause more trouble. So use hydrating moisturizers, Niacinamide concentrated pads, and toners after cleansing your skin, letting it dry out before applying makeup. 

Skincare to Fix Your Dry Skin 

Dry skin is super common and can come with stuff like white flaky dead skin, occasional redness, and itching. It can happen because of age, sun damage, genetics, or even just your unhealthy lifestyle habits. Deal with it using moisturizers and other products with vitamin E, and If you haven’t noticed, Aloe Vera is good for all skin types and is a natural source of salicylic acid.

You can also use deep cleansing oils but when it comes to creams or ointments, go for those instead of lotions if you have dry skin—lotions might not be as effective. Look for stuff with ingredients like dimethicone, jojoba oil, mineral oil, petrolatum, lanolin, beeswax, oatmeal, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter.

Does Vitamin Serums Really Play a Role?

Serums can also add moisture longer-term, but pick up ingredients and serums that actually benefit your skin to make it glossy and juicy. In general, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, glycerin, ceramides, and vitamin E, go well with oily skin but if you’re dealing with acne, don’t go scrubbing your face every now and then, use benzoyl peroxide, more salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and vitamin A products.

Serums aren’t really a must, but they’re a pretty solid first step if you wanna step up your skincare game and keep your skin in good shape. They’re like little nutrient bombs packed with antioxidants that can make your skin glow more, smooth out those fine lines, and slowly fade dark spots.

Conclusion

Good skincare isn’t just about slapping on products and washing them off. The real deal for CLEAR SKIN is following the basics: getting at least eight hours of sleep, drinking lots of water, sweating out toxins through exercise, eating a balanced diet, and trying not to stress
