FAQs

What is the ideal basic skincare routine?

A basic routine includes cleansing, moisturising, and applying sunscreen daily. Keep the routine consistent and suitable for your skin type to maintain healthy and balanced skin.

Wash your face twice a day (morning and night) to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Over-washing can lead to dryness or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Use products according to your skin type.

For beginners, the best skincare products include: a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturiser, and broad-spectrum SPF. Avoid harsh exfoliants and use fragrance-free, non-comedogenic products to minimise the risk of irritation or breakouts.

Oily skin feels greasy, dry skin feels tight or flaky, combination skin shows oil in the T-zone, and normal skin feels balanced. Sensitive skin may appear as redness.

Natural ingredients come from plant or mineral sources, while synthetic ingredients are lab-made. Choose products backed by research and suited to your skin’s needs.

It depends on the weather and your skin type. You may need richer moisturisers in winter and lighter, oil-free products in summer. Adjust your routine based on seasonal changes, environment and how your skin reacts to it.

Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser, an oil-free moisturiser, and SPF. Acne-fighting ingredients include salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and niacinamide. Avoid over-washing or layering too many products.

Avoid over-exfoliating and using too many products. Fragranced products can worsen skin issues as well.

Most skincare routines take 4 to 8 weeks to show visible results. Acne treatments or anti-ageing products may take longer. Stay consistent and avoid switching products too quickly unless irritation occurs.

Consult a dermatologist if your skin shows signs of persistent irritation, painful breakouts, sudden changes, or does not improve with over-the-counter products.
