Read this article to find out how to take care of your facial skin.

Essential habits to care for the skin on your face

Adopting a daily facial care routine is the first step towards healthy skin. Here are some essential habits to follow for your skincare routine:

1. Daily cleansing: Wash your face twice a day, morning and evening, with a cleanser suitable for your skin type. This removes dirt, excess oil and accumulated pollutants.

2. Moisturise: Even if you have oily skin, moisturising is crucial to maintain its balance. Use a moisturiser that suits your specific needs.

3. Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy. This helps prevent premature ageing and reduces the risk of skin cancer.

4. Avoid touching your face: Hands can transfer bacteria and cause irritation or breakouts. Keep them clean and avoid touching your face unnecessarily.

5. Take care of your diet and hydration: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants and adequate water intake promote healthy skin from the inside out.

Care according to your skin type

Every skin has specific needs. The first step in creating a facial routine is to know your skin type and then choose the right products.

Oily skin

This skin type is characterised by excess sebum. Therefore, it is essential to find a cleanser that controls this excess, with salicylic acid as the main ingredient.

In addition, you should moisturise your face twice a day to prevent oil production. To do this, you should opt for light, oil-free moisturisers.

If you have this skin type, exfoliating scrub is your friend, as long as you don't overdo it. If you use this product every week or two, your skin will thank you for it.

Combination skin

For this skin type, you should:

• Apply different products to the oily (T-zone) and dry areas of the face.

• Look for a gentle cleanser and a balanced moisturiser.

• Consider specific treatments to balance sebum.

Sensitive skin

For this skin type, you need to be careful with the ingredients. Therefore, use hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products.

The cleansers you need should be gentle, so avoid aggressive exfoliators as well. Also, protect your skin from external factors with a good sunscreen.

Dry skin

Dry skin needs a lot of hydration, with hyaluronic acid or ceramide creams, so it is essential to apply creamy cleansers and avoid products with alcohol.

Don't forget to incorporate moisturising masks into your weekly routine!

Skin with rosacea

Skin with rosacea needs:

• Use products specifically formulated for rosacea skin.

• Avoid extreme temperatures and irritating products.

• Consult a dermatologist for personalised recommendations.
