Basic Skin Regimen For All Skin Types!

Hello,

I am Dr. Rahul Shetty, MD, Dermatologist. So, today I will be talking about certain skin regimens which will be suitable for all skin types. So we have 4 basic elements that are included in all of the skin types. The first thing which comes into our skin regimen is a face wash. So a facewash should be a foaming base facewash in cases of an oily type of skin or it should be a very mild cleanser in cases of very sensitive skin. They should help in removing the dirt and grime from the face and in females they should help in removing the clurr, the makeup as well. So, micellar water can help in removing the makeup and then a person can go for more of a foaming face wash with the other element. So, the other element included in our daily skin regimen is vitamin C serum. The important thing of vitamin C serum is a concentration should ly between 10-15%. Vitamin C serum has multiple benefits as in acts as an anti-oxidant agent, act as an anti-ageing agent and it acts as an anti-pigmentation agent as well. So, it should be part of every skin regimen, moving forward to get a brighter look as well as a clearer face. The third element which comes into the picture and the most important element is a moisturizer. A moisturizer helps in hydrating your face as well as retaining the hydration within the skin. A moisturiser always depends, again on the skin type, the oily type of skin, requires a very light moisturiser or a silicon-based moisturiser whereas a very dry type of skin requires a creamy based moisturiser. There are many moisturizers in the market which combine other elements such as hyaluronic acid for anti-ageing, they even have vitamin C, E elements which help in hydrating the face as well as providing the anti-pigmentational elements. Lastly, we come to the night cream, a night cream basically depends on what indication you are presenting with, it is a dark circle, it has to be treated with an eye cream, targetting just dark circles, if it has pigmentation points, you have to go for a deep pigmenting cream, if anti-ageing is your focus then you have to go for certain creams which help in tightening the skin, which usually contains hyaluronic acid or retinol, usually a retinol based cream helps in all of these, as it helps in turning over the skin, help you heal in during the night time, a retinol based cream should be applied minimally with the p size amount taking on the finger and apply it generously around the face which can be combined with the moisturiser as well. So a summary, the four basic elements are the face wash, the moisturiser, the vitamin C serum and a night cream. Also, you can improve on your diet, well-balanced diet will play a major role in your skin as well, as well as taking a good night sleep as well.
