How to Choose Everyday Skincare for Different Skin Types

Here are some regimes for your specific skin type.

Dry Skin  

This kind of skin has a lack of moisture and sebum. As a result, it looks dry, rough and is prone to flaking and chapping,

1. Massage a cream cleanser gently on the face. Wipe off with a wet cotton ball. This will clear sweat, dirt, bacteria and grease accumulated on the skin during the day without stealing the moisture.
2. A special toner for dry skin should be applied to close your pores.
3. Use a heavy moisturising cream with Vitamin E to replenish and rejuvenate skin cells.

Oily Skin
"Oily skin has active sebaceous glands. The continuous secretion of oil from the pores makes it susceptible to environmental pollutants and dust.
Dave recommends a deep-cleaning regime for oily skin:  
1. Clean the skin with a medicated or a non-alkaline soap to remove the film of dirt and oil.
2. Use a scrub to gently remove dead cells, oil and dirt lodged in the pores. Scrubbing will also remove any debris left over after the first step.
3. Apply a toner that heals and shrinks the pores.
4. Use a water-based moisturiser to avoid making your skin oilier.

Combination Skin 

1. Figure out the dry and oily areas. The dry area should be cleaned with a hydrating cream. The oily portion should be washed with a medicated soap.
2. Scrub the oily area to remove dirt and black heads.
3. A light skin toner made of rose water is effective for combination skin.
4. Use moisturiser generously on the dry area and go light on the oily parts.
5. Use an anti-pimple cream or lotion on eruptions after consulting a dermatologist.
