Choosing The Right Products
Great skin is not simply a matter of DNA-your daily habits, in fact, have a big impact on what you see in the mirror. But depending on which product reviews you read or doctors you consult, there is a dizzying number of opinions on everything from how to moisturize to how to protect yourself from UV rays. Ultimately, caring for your skin is simply personal. Here’s what you should keep in mind to sort through all the noise. The goal of any skin-care routine is to tune up your complexion so it’s functioning at its best, and also troubleshoot or target any areas you want to work on. “Beauty routines are an opportunity to notice changes within yourself,” says the San Francisco skin-care specialist Kristina Holey. As your skin needs shifts with age, so will your products. Still, she adds, “it’s not about creating perfection.”
The science behind skin-care products has come a long way but there’s still no such thing as an ins
tant fix-you need time to reap the benefits, says Dr. Rachel Nazarian, a Manhattan dermatologist as Schwei
ger Dermatology Group. “Results are only seen through consistent use,” she explains. Generally, aim to use a product over at least six weeks, once or twice daily, to notice a difference.
Tip: With any skin-care product, apply in order of consistency-from thinnest to thickest. For expample, cleanser, toner (if you use it), serum, and then moisturizer.
There are factors you should consider when deciding the best skin care routine for your skin. Using the best skin care products can help you keep your skin looking young and healthy for as long as possible. But with so many different types of skin care products available in stores and inline promising healthy, supple-looking skin, how do you determine which ones are best for you?
Keep these factors in mind when shopping for skin care products so you know how to choose the best products for your needs – and enjoy the results youexpect and want.
Age. Different life stages call for different types of products. Look for skin care products that correspond with your age and life stage. For instance, products that treat acne in teens contain very different types of ingredients that skin care products that help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and sun damage, such as anti-aging creams and serums.
Skin tone. Skin complexions that are fair, medium, or dark require different types of products. For instance, fair skin is likely to burn faster with sun exposure compared to an olive skin tone or darker complexion.
Skin type. If you have sensitive skin, it’s best to look for skin care products with minimal ingredients to avoid irritating your skin, and avoid products with alcohol and fragrance. If you have dry skin, you might benefit from products in an ointment for cream form, which can soothe dry skin better than a lotion. Oily skin, on the other hand, still needs moisture, but is better suited for oil-free products that wont clog pores.
Skin problems. Do you have skin problems like eczema, recurring acne, age spots or puffy skin around
your eyes? Look for products with ingredients that address these specific skin concerns.
Lifestyle factors. The condition of your skin can be impacted by personal habits, such as smoking. Likewise, excessive sun exposure may call for a heavier moisturizer to combat the effects of dry skin. Certain medications and even the type of climate you live in can impact your skin care product considerations.
Skin care ingredients. Read the label. Active ingredients are listed in order of concentration, followed by inactive ingredients. Aim for skin care products with natural ingredients and try to avoid artificial colors or fragrances which can irritate your skin. Skin care moisturizers and lip balms should contain sunscreen to act as a barrier against UV rays. Finally, be sure to use products by their expiration date, since expired skin care products may contain bacteria that can lead to skin irritations and infections.
