【Skin Care Tips For Different Skin Types】

Skincare Steps:

Morning: Cleanser, toner, serum, lotion, sunscreen.

Evening: Makeup remover, cleanser, mask, eye cream, serum, lotion, cream.

Eye Cream: Dry skin under the eyes tends to be dry and flaky, so eye products can be used earlier. For individuals younger than 22, focus on basic moisturizing; for those over 23, incorporate eye products with anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and firming effects.

Masks: If daily basic moisturizing is done well, applying hydrating masks 2-3 times a week is sufficient. Excessive keratin layers can lead to overhydration.

Exfoliation: Dry skin should not be exfoliated frequently. Once a month is suitable. To avoid over-cleansing, focus on the T-zone. You can incorporate gentle acids like salicylic acid and fruit acids into the skincare routine to regulate sebum secretion and address issues like blackheads and closed comedones.

Evening: Makeup remover, cleanser, mask, eye cream, serum, lotion, cream
