How to do Perfect Skin Care at Home?

Getting good skin at home is not difficult anymore. For this you do not have to go to a dermatologist or any pharmacist. But having a good knowledge about skin care ingredients and way of use. I have been about three years since I started my skin care journey. And for me it’s little bit tricky to start skin care routine according to our skin type. 

How to Know Skin Type?

The first step to start and adapt skin care products, we have to find out our skin type. First of all wash your face with a gentle cleanser and wait for some time. If you get oil all over your skin then you have oily skin. 

You feel dryness and stretching skin, then you have dry skin. But if after some time you feel illness on the T-zone area but dryness on other sides, then you have combinational skin. This type of skin is tricky to handle. 

One skin type is my favorite, which is a normal one.This skin is a blessing from God and many less people have this type of skin. 

Basic Skin Care For Oily Skin

Oily skin types have a lot of oil on their face. And for them we need some products which can control oil production along with also providing hydration and moisture. It’s a myth that oily skin types do not need a moisturizer.

They also need it as dry skin people require. They should use a cleanser which is not very gentle but infused with Niacinamide or some actives. These activists may be salicylic, lactic, glycolic, or mandelic acid. 

After that pick a moisturizer which is oil free like gel moisturizers. Moisturizer should be applied on a damp face. After that on top apply a gel Sunblock. Heavy sunblock on oily skin will clog pores, so it’s better to choose a sunscreen with gel consistency.

Basic Skin Care For Dry Skin

These people have to face dryness on face. They need products which are very hydrating and moisturizing. Cleanser is first in skin care, so it should be mild and gentle. After that they should apply a lotion or cream moisturizer on their face. 

This will help to maintain a hydrated and moisturized skin. After that, in the daytime they should apply a sunscreen which is physical or hybrid. But ifIt is chemical then the formulation should be moisturizing, not giving matte look.

Skin Care For Combinational Skin

These skintype people have to understand the response of their skin with different products. During winters light products mostly don’t suit them and during summers cream produced do not do good for them. But sometimes in winter cream products don’t suit them.

So they have to be in the middle line and should use a cleanser which is not so very mild or harsh. Besides, they should use an oil free moisturizer. Not gel, but a lightweight lotion. When it’s time for sunblock, then hybrid sunblock suits them more.

Products For All Skin Types

Some products are best for oily skin, but worse for dry skin. Similarly, some are ideal for dry skin but bad for oily skin. With my experience I will tell you about some products with some brands which suit me and my fellows best.

Products For Oily Skin

My friend has oily skin and with my knowledge I suggest some products. She tried it out and the results were awesome. I gave her niacinamide serum, salicylic acid based face wash, gel moisturizer and gel sunblock. 

She tried them and came to me after a couple of months. Her skin was awesome at that time. Below I have attached the links of specific products.

Face wash: Accuafix facewash

Serum: The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum

Gel moisturizer: POND’S Super Light Gel

Gel sunblock: Barrier Sunblock

Believe me, if you have oily skin then this simple skin care routine is the best.

Products For Dry Skin Type

In my family, my cousin has very dry skin and nothing was helping her. Her barrier was damaged so I recommended a mild face wash, hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides based moisturizer and physical sunscreen. 

Her face became very smooth after applying this routine for three months. I have attached the products which are given below. Kindly check it out. The links are properly attached.

I suggested her peptide because she had wrinkles on face. Not only peptides help in anti ageing but also in skin hydration and good skin health. 

Face wash: Possible Cleanser

Serums: Hyaluronic acid, Peptides

Moisturizer: Ceramides Based Moisturizer

Sunblock: Neobrella Sunblock Cream SPF60 PA+++

Products For Combinational Skin

I personally have combinational skin and I got three years to understand the chemistry. Without anything on my face, it behaves as dry, but when it starts to apply thick moisturizer it becomes oily. And when I stopped using it, my skin became dry and dull. 

After some time I realized that I have to handle it with tricks. I have two types of face washes, two types of moisturizers, niacinamide Serum and hybrid sunblock. In the summer, my skin care is simple and effective. I use cleansers which are gentle during daytime and exfoliating at night time. And it’s my all time favorite. 

I apply gel moisturizer then a hybrid sunblock. But in winters I used gentle cleanser, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide serum, thick moisturizers and hybrid sunscreen. This is my ideal skin care and in two different seasons. My recommended products are given below. 

Face wash: Mild Facewash, Exfoliating Facewash

Serums: The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum

Moisturizer: Ceramides Based Moisturizer, POND’S Super Light Gel

Sunblock: Possible Sunblock .

Conclusion

Many people ask from me how to do perfect skin care at home? and my answer was always simple that skin care is not a very difficult thing to do but we need to understand some things before applying anything on our face. Skin type plays a very important role in understanding the products which we have to choose. 

There are four types of skin. Oily skin, combinational skin, dry skin and normal skin. All the products are formulated for specific skin types. After realising which skin type we have, we will buy the products which are formulated according to them. 

Without getting the knowledge we can harm our skin instead of providing them good things. In this article I have attached many products which I personally used and reviewed them properly.
