How to choose the right facial skincare product

When it comes to skincare, the topic of facial skincare seems to top the chart most of the time with ease. Mostly because there are lots of facial skincare products available in the market. The most common facial skincare products are the ones that are used as part of our daily routine. These include things like cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. Exfoliation products are well known too, but not many people use them.

The general classification of facial skincare products is based on the following: 

•  Gender- there are different types of facial skincare made specifically for both men and women.
• Skin type - there are products made for different skin types, such as dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin, and normal skin.
•  Age - products that are suited for the old or young.
•  Skin disorder - these products provide treatment for various skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, acne etc.

The general classification of the type of facial skincare products listed above is your starting point for choosing a facial skincare product that suits you. You should probably know by now, a good way to start is by determining your skin type first. Also, note that the skin type changes with age, so the facial skin product that suits you today might not suit you forever, and hence you need to constantly evaluate the effectiveness of your facial skincare product.

These facial skincare products are available in various forms, i.e. creams, lotions, gels, masks etc, and a lot of people try to pit one against the other in their discussion on which form is best. However, one can't really rate one form as better than another form. Whatever you feel that it's the most comfortable is the best form of facial skincare product for you in most cases. 

Nevertheless, it's important to note that these products work differently for different people. Therefore, the best thing is to try the facial skincare product on a small patch of skin, e.g. your ear lobes, before actually going ahead and using it.

Another important consideration is the state of your skin. If you are suffering from a skin disorder of any kind, it is best to seek the advice of a dermatologist before you actually make your selection and start using a facial skincare product.

Once you have selected the facial skincare product for yourself, you also need to ensure that you use the facial skincare product in the right way, i.e. follow correct procedures for application, use the correct quantity and make the facial product a part of your skincare routine.
