Knowing what your skin type needs, can help you create the ultimate skincare routine.

Taking great care of your facial skin can be easy once you create the proper routine, and sticking to a regular cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing schedule can help you achieve an impeccable, smooth complexion that shimmers with health. 

Every person skin is unique, so developing your own facial care regimen will be likely to require some tests. Knowing thoroughly what different kinds of products perform, and what your skin type needs, can help you create the ultimate skincare plan custom designed for your individual complexion.

#1 YOUR SKIN TYPE

The first thing to consider when choosing skin care products and coming up with your treatment plan is your skin type. If you often notice flaking, find your skin is easily irritated, or feel that you are prone to premature wrinkles, you probably have a dry skin type. If you are vulnerable to acne and blemishes, or find that you constantly need to powder your nose to keep shine at bay, you have an oily skin type. If, like many people, you have pimples and grease in some areas and irritation and flaking in others, you have combination skin, which usually requires the most individualized care.

#2 GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS

Keep your skin type in mind when buying the four products that will make up your skin care routine. You will need a cleanser to use twice daily, an exfoliant to use a few times per week, a moisturizer to use as needed, and one intensive treatment for weekly use. The cleanser should wipe away dirt, makeup, and excess oil, and will keep your pores free of clogs. The exfoliant will slough away dead skin cells that can cloud your visage, and exfoliating will help keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant. The moisturizer will tackle dryness, redness, and irritation so that you can maintain a silky smooth texture and a fresh, dewy look. The intensive treatment should be a top quality brand available on the market or even a homemade all natural mask might help tackle your skin needs.

#3 CLEANSER AND HYDRATING FACIAL CREAM

For your cleanser, look for a product free from alcohol or other potentially drying agents, and choose the gentlest product possible. It should be strong enough to cut through excess grease, but not so strong that it strips your face of the natural oils that keep it resilient. Your exfoliant should be specially designed for facial skin, the most delicate skin on the body, so don't try to make your body scrub do double duty on your face. The moisturizer you pick must be non-comedogenic to keep your complexion clear and should be water based on maximum effectiveness. Use your moisturizer only when you notice redness or dryness. For people with dry skin this may mean applying a thin layer after every cleansing, but for others, it might mean occasional spot treatments.

#4 FACIAL MASK

Use a mask treatment once a week for a luxurious, deeply penetrating solution to your skin requirements. Gold masks are very popular at the moment. Look for natural ingredients. You can find a mask recipe or premixed product for any issue under the sun, so whether your dominant skin tendency is acne, dryness, or visible wrinkles, or if your skin is in great shape but could use an infusion of nutrients, you will be able to find a treatment ideal for your skin.
