The main skin types are Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination, Sensitive, and Acne-prone.

You can determine your skin type by washing your face with a gentle cleanser, waiting 30 minutes, and then observing your skin's appearance. If it looks shiny, you have oily skin. If it feels tight, you have dry skin. If it looks balanced, you have normal skin. If you have a mix of oily and dry areas, you have combination skin.

- Normal skin: balanced, neither too oily nor too dry
- Dry skin: tight, flaky, prone to irritation
- Oily skin: shiny, greasy, prone to blackheads
- Combination skin: mix of oily and dry areas
- Sensitive skin: easily irritated, red, itchy
- Acne-prone skin: frequently breaks out with pimples, acne

- Normal skin: 1-2 times a day
- Dry skin: 2-3 times a day
- Oily skin: 1 time a day or as needed
- Combination skin: vary moisturizing frequency based on area
- Sensitive skin: use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer as needed
- Acne-prone skin: use non-comedogenic moisturizer as needed

Maintain good hygiene, use non-comedogenic products, exfoliate regularly, manage stress, and consider spot treatments.

Dark spots and hyperpigmentation can result from sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or skin injuries. Use sunscreen, vitamin C, and niacinamide to help reduce their appearance.

Moisturize frequently, use gentle cleansers, avoid harsh products, and consider humidifying your environment.

Aging skin may show fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, loss of firmness, and reduced skin elasticity. Use retinol, vitamin C, and sun protection to help combat these signs.

Maintain a healthy weight, moisturize regularly, and consider using products with cocoa butter, vitamin E, or retinol to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Use gentle products, avoid irritants, and consider using soothing ingredients like cica, ceramide, azelaic acid.

Eczema and psoriasis can cause redness, itching, dryness, and scaly patches. Consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The best skincare routine for your skin type depends on your individual skin concerns, needs, and goals. Generally, a consistent routine should include cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection.

Wash your face twice a day (morning and night) to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Over-washing can strip your skin of its natural oils.

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, improve skin texture, reduce acne, and enhance skin brightness.

Exfoliate 1-3 times a week, depending on your skin type and needs. Over-exfoliating can cause irritation and dryness.

Results may vary, but consistency and patience are key. Give your skincare routine at least 30 days to show noticeable improvements.

Be cautious when combining products with active ingredients. Start with small amounts and gradually increase as needed to avoid irritation or conflicts.

AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid) and BHAs (salicylic acid) are exfoliants that help remove dead skin cells, reduce acne, and improve skin texture.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant that retains moisture, soothes dry skin, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Retinol (vitamin A) stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne, and improves skin texture and tone.

Antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid) neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental stressors, pollution, and damage.

Physical sunblocks create a physical barrier, while chemical sunblocks absorb UV rays. Both types offer protection, but physical sunblocks are often preferred for sensitive skin.

Moisturizing ingredients (ceramides, fatty acids) lock in moisture, while hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid, glycerin) attract and retain moisture.

Not necessarily. While natural ingredients can be beneficial, some may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Always patch test.
