What is the best skin care product?
There is really nothing like the best skin care product. There can really be no such thing as ‘the best skin care product’, because skin care products work differently for different people (based on skin type to some degree). A product that is ‘one’s best skin care product’ may end up being worse for another person. Therefore, the logical question you can ask yourself would be 'What is the best skin care product for my skin type?'. However, this is still completely absurd. We usually classify people into 4 groups based on their skin type - namely dry skin, oily skin, normal skin and sensitive skin. However, this category is too broad to be used for sure in determining the best skin care product. We can say that ‘best oily skin care product’ or ‘best oily skin care product’ statements are better than ‘best oily skin care product’. But really, that’s what it is - ‘better’; still inaccurate.
So, it comes down to reviving the question - 'What is the best skin care product for me'. Yes, this is exactly the question you should ask, and unfortunately there is no easy answer to this. Arriving at the best skin care product yourself will require some effort on your part.
First, you need to understand how skin care products work. This is easy. You can consider all skin care products made into 2 types of ingredients - Active and non-functional. The active ingredients are the ones that really work on your skin. Ineffective just helps to bring these active ingredients to your skin. Both ingredients need to work on your skin, for the product to work properly (and then proceed to be the best product for your skin care).
Apart from the ingredients, the way you use 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 can permanently hunt for the best skin care product, once that has passed you by. In addition, it is important to determine the frequency of use (skin care product). Environmental factors - temperature, humidity and degree of contamination, also affect the choice of the best skin care product. Here are a few rules you can use to make sure your best skin care product is truly suitable:
* Clean your skin before applying that best skin care product.
* Use a moisturizer instead of plain water and remove your makeup before bed.
* The effectiveness of active ingredients decreases when used on top of another product e.g. over moisturiser. So use that best skin care products first and apply a good moisturizer if needed.
* Apply the products on wet and warm skin.
* You will need to try a few products before you get to the one that is the best skin care product for you.
* Do not pull it too hard or too tight.
* Change your skin care system according to the seasons (winter / summer etc.), changes in natural features and changes in your skin type.
Note that the best skin care product cannot be determined overnight. Only by testing (and raising awareness) can you find the ‘best skin care product’ (personalized)
