However, this classification is just too broad to be used definitively in determining the best skin care product. We can say ‘best skin care product for a dry skin’ or ‘best skin care product for an oily skin’ are better statements than just ‘best skin care product’. But really, that is what it is – ‘better’; still not accurate.
So, it really comes to rephrasing the question to – ‘What is the best skin care product for me’. Yes, this is exactly the question that you should be asking, and unfortunately there is no easy answer for this. Arriving at the best skin care product for self will need some effort on your part.
First of all, you need to understand how the skin care products
work. This is simple. You can consider all skin care products to
be composed of 2 types of ingredients – Active and inactive. The
active ingredients are the ones that actually work on your skin.
The inactive ones just help in delivering these active
ingredients to your skin. Both the ingredients need to work for
your skin, in order for the product to be effective (and move on
to become the best skin care product for you).
Besides the ingredients, the way you apply your skin care
products is equally important. In fact, this is even more
important. If you do not know how to apply skin care products,
you might forever be hunting for the best skin care product for
yourself, when that has already passed you. Moreover, it’s also
important to decide on the frequency of application (of the skin
care product).
The environmental factors - temperature, humidity and
pollution level, also affect the selection of best skin care
product. Here are a few rules that you could use to ensure that
your best skin care product is really the best for you:
* Cleanse your skin before applying that
best skin care product.
* Use a makeup remover instead of plain water and remove your
makeup before going to bed.
* The effectiveness of active ingredients is reduced when
applied over another product e.g. over moisturizer. So apply
that best skin care product first and then apply a bit of
moisturizer if needed.
* Apply the products on moist and warm skin.
* You will have to experiment with a few products before you
arrive at the one that is the best skin care product for you.
* Do not exfoliate too much or too hard.
* Vary your skin care routine as per the seasons
(winter/summer etc), changes in environmental factors and
changes in your skin type Note that the best skin care product
cannot be determined overnight. It’s only through experiment
(and awareness) that you can find the ‘Best skin care product’
(for you).
