Got Questions?
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.
How often should I wash my face?
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.
What are the best skincare products for beginners?
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.
How do I know my skin type?
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.
What’s the difference between natural and synthetic skincare ingredients?
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.
Can I use the same routine year-round?
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.
How do I build a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
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.
What common mistakes should I avoid in my skincare routine?
Avoid over-exfoliating and using too many products. Fragranced products can worsen skin issues as well.
How long does it take to see results from a new skincare routine?
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.
When should I consult a dermatologist?
Consult a dermatologist if your skin shows signs of persistent irritation, painful breakouts, sudden changes, or does not improve with over-the-counter products.
