What skin care product is the best for you?

It is hard to identify that the best skin care product for one person is the best for another because skin care products function differently for different people (grounded on the skin type to some extent). A product that is the best for one person can be the worst for another. Therefore, it raise a question to ask ‘What is the best skin care product for my type skin?’. Still, this is not wholly logical. We likely to divide people into 4 groups grounded on their skin types – i.e. dry skin, oily skin, normal skin, combination skin and sensitive skin. However, this categorization is just too general to be used definitively in identifying the best skin care product. We can say ‘best skin care product for a normal skin’ or ‘best skin care product for a sensitive skin’ are rather statements than just ‘best skin care product’. But in reality, that is what it is – ‘better’; still not correct. Hence, it has to come to rewriting the question to ‘What the best skin care product is the best for me?’. This is an absolutely the question that we should be asking ourselves, and unluckily there is no easy answer for this. Regarding to the best skin care product for self, we will need some exertion on our part. First, we need to perceive how the skin care products function. This is easy. We can think all skin care products to be consisted of 2 types of ingredients – active and inactive. The active ingredients are the ones that actually function on our skin. The inactive ones just support in delivering these active ingredients to our skin. Both the ingredients need to function for our skin, for the product to be effective (and come to be the best skin care product for us). In terms of the ingredients, the way we use to our skin care products is considered equally important. This is even more important. If we do not know how to use skin care products, we might forever be finding for the best skin care product for ourselves, when that has already passed us. It is also important to make a decision on the frequency of using the skin care product. The environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and pollution level, also affect the choice of best skin care product. Here are a few disciplines that we could use to make sure that our best skin care product is really the best for us: * Cleanse our skin before using the best skin care product. * Use a makeup remover to replace of plain water and remove your makeup before going to bed. * The productiveness of active ingredients is decreased when used over another product such as over moisturizer. So use that best skin care product first and then use a bit of moisturizer if required. * Use the products on moist and warm skin. * We will have to test with a few products before we buy at the one that is the best skin care product for us. * Do not exfoliate too much or too hard on our skin. * Change our skin care habit as per the seasons (winter/summer/rainy season), changes in environmental factors and changes in our skin type It can be noted the best skin care product cannot be known overnight. It is only through experiment that we can find the ‘Best skin care product’ (for us).
