How to Choose Products for Your Face
Start with your skin type. Oily and combination skin usually prefers gels and oil-free formulas, while dry or mature skin does well with creams and richer serums. If you are not sure, the What's My Skin Type guide walks you through a simple at-home check. Then add one or two products for your main concern, such as expression lines, firmness or dark circles, rather than changing everything at once.
Cleansing basics matter as much as actives. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends washing twice a day and after heavy sweating, using lukewarm water and a gentle, non-abrasive, alcohol-free cleanser applied with your fingertips, then patting dry with a soft towel. Sensitive skin: add one new product at a time and patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct order for a skincare routine?
Go from thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, and sunscreen as the last morning step. Exfoliate once or twice a week after cleansing.
How many facial products do I really need?
A basic routine is a cleanser, a moisturizer and a daily sunscreen. Add a serum or eye cream when you want results for a specific concern, such as the look of lines or dark circles.
How often should I wash my face?
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends twice a day, morning and night, and again after heavy sweating. Use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser, and avoid scrubbing.
Do I need a toner?
A toner is optional. It can add a light layer of hydration after cleansing and help serums spread, but a routine works without one.
How often should I exfoliate my face?
There is no single rule. Start once a week, increase to twice a week if your skin feels comfortable, and cut back if it feels tight or tender. Always follow with moisturizer.
