Products to be used :
Cleanser: Whether you follow oily skincare or a dry skincare routine, a cleanser ranks right on top. Especially while removing makeup. Micellar water or an oil-based cleanser can help break down the makeup, dirt and grime.
Facewash: A facewash is an essential step to prevent products from clogging your pores further.
Serum: Depending on your skin type and concern, pick a serum for your needs. Anti-ageing skin care and acne-prone skin care routine should include serums that heal.
Moisturiser: A product that will conceal all the layers underneath is a good moisturiser. But you may be wondering, skincare for pimples should include a moisturiser? Yes, absolutely! Moisturisers are for everyone, gel-based ones are for oily skin, and cream-based ones are for dry skin.
Sunscreen: Sunscreen isn’t just a part of summer skincare. Apply it every single DAY! Even when you aren’t stepping out, the skin is always exposed to harmful UV radiation. A protective sunscreen will shield you from the sun and slow down the ageing process. An SPF of 30 and above is the recommended.
Lip balm: Our lips have the thinnest layer of skin compared to the rest of our body. Thus, using a lip balm with the much-needed sun protection factor is imperative. A moisturising balm will nourish your lips, keep them soft and supple throughout the day.
