Do you always find yourself asking questions like: “Why does my face need a mini rolling pin?” and “Do I need a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer?” And your head starts to spin when you see a large number of skin products to choose from. Moreover, how can you know what suits your skin?
If this seems like a gigantic task to you, you are not alone. Many people just ignore caring about their skin, just for the reason above. However, if you want to change that all you need to do is read further and follow this guide.
How to know my skin type?
The first thing you need to know is that your skincare routine should be based on your skin type. If you already know your skin type, very well! However, if you are one of those who still struggle to know about their skin type, don’t lose hope. Here is a simple conclusion for you, if you have a patchy sort of skin, which means you have dry skin. If it is shiny, which tends to catch acne quite often, it means you have oily skin. If there are patches of your skin that tend to be oilier than others it means your skin is a combination of both, dry and oily.
The next step is pretty easy, if your skin is dry, keep yourself hydrated with creamy formulas and products that contain hyaluronic acid, and if you want skincare with no microbeads, drink as much as water possible. For candidates with oilier skin types, the gel formula is the best option.

Eye cream
Many experts believe that you should start applying eye creams in your early 20s. And the best way to apply it with your ring finger with a gentle touch, so it does not get into your eyes.
Moisturizer
