Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack

We all know how beneficial sandalwood is for our skin. It has been one of the most popular beauty secrets for women from time immemorial. All of us have used sandalwood in face packs or alone at some point in our lives, be it for pimple removal or glowing skin. Today, I am going to talk about a brand that has come up with a ready to use sandalwood face pack which is 100% natural. I’m talking about Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack.

Description- Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack soothes and nourishes dry and normal skin. Sandalwood is obtained from the trees of the genus Santalum. It retains its fragrance for a long time. It is known to reduce sunburn and inflammation. The combination of sandalwood with Multani mitti tends to offer an extraordinary cooling effect that refreshes the skin. Almond and calamine provide necessary moisturizing properties which help to improve complexion and texture of skin. Regular use is known for getting anti-wrinkle effects.

Price- Rs 149/- for 100g

Ingredients- Sandalwood powder, Multani mitti, Calamine powder, Almond powder and aroma.

Packaging- Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack comes in a powder form packaged inside a sealed plastic bag which is placed inside a regular cardboard box with all the details about the product. I wish they considered modifying the packaging a little bit. Once you cut open the plastic bag there is no way to seal it again. This allows air to enter the package and adulterate the natural ingredients.

Directions to use- Mix 1 tablespoon of Sandalwood Face Pack with rose water or fresh water to make a paste. Apply it evenly on the face & neck. Allow it to dry. Wash the face with fresh water.

My Experience with Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack

I have been using Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack for a couple of weeks now. I like to use it twice a week. Every time I use it, it leaves my skin hydrated and adds a healthy glow to it. I have seen this pack prevents seasonal acne and makes the skin very soft and supple. As it is rich in natural ingredients, I can completely trust that it won’t harm my skin. 1 tablespoon of the product is enough for your entire face and neck, thus a little goes a long way. It also diminishes the signs of fatigue from the face.

These are the reasons to love this product-

  • 100% pure
  • Microfine powder
  • Soothes dry skin
  • Reduces sunburn
  • Refreshes skin
  • Improves complexion
  • Long lasting aroma
  • No added chemical

Overall, I like using this product as it is true to its claims and it does not cause any harm to my skin. I would highly recommend you guys to try this product out.

Oshea Herbals NeemPure Anti Acne & Pimple Face Pack | Cherry On Top

I have been using Oshea Herbals NeemPure Anti Acne & Pimple Face Pack for the past couple of weeks and I am in a love-hate relationship with this face pack. I love it because of the natural ingredients and effectiveness but I hate it for it feels heavy on my face when I put it on. I find it difficult to wash off of my face. It also takes longer to dry completely than any other masks. It takes around 20-30 minutes to dry.

But, on the brighter side, it freshens up the skin. You can feel the freshness right after washing it off. It makes my skin brighter and adds a little glow to it. It doesn’t make the skin fairer as it claims. I haven’t seen any signs of acne or a pimple (not even the customary pre-menstrual one) since I have started using it. I use it twice a week at night.

If you love to have a face pack with all the benefits of natural ingredients like neem, tea tree oil, aloe vera and cinnamon, that too within budget then you can try out this face pack by Oshea Herbals.

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review

Hi, guys! I am back again with yet another post for you. A lot of you got really excited when I shared a picture of the Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask that I bought from Nykaa during their Valentine’s Day sale. I have been using it since then and I am so impressed with it that I felt the need to share my thoughts with you guys. So, here I am sharing my review on the Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask.

Price- Rs 300 for 25g, Rs 550 for 50g ( Buy here)

Ingredients- Oatmeal, Organic rice flour, Prunus dulcis (Almond meal), Juglans regia (Walnut), Ocimum basilicum (Basil), Rosa (Rose), Lavandula (Lavender), Mentha (Peppermint), Fuller’s earth, Activated Carbon, Mentha piperita (Peppermint essential oil), Piper nigrum (Black pepper essential oil), Citrus bergamia (Bergamot essential oil), Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree essential oil), Juniperus communis (Juniper berry essential oil)

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review | Cherry On Top

Packaging- Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask comes in a simple transparent plastic jar with a screw-open lid. A wooden spoon also comes along with the product. The label on the tub has all the information including ingredients, usage and effectiveness. I really like the simplicity of the packaging. It looks simple but definitely not cheap.

How to Use- Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask comes in a powder form. So, you need to make a paste out of it using either water or milk. I like to use it with organic rose water.

My Experience with Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review | Cherry On Top

As I said earlier, I have been using this for the past few weeks. I use this pack twice a week and every time I use it I see visible results. I use rosewater to make a paste out of the powder. When the paste is made, you can see that it is a little crumbly. This is because of the finely milled oatmeal and almond. I apply the mask evenly on my face using a spatula and then let it dry until its semi-wet. Then, I just rub it on my face in circular motions and finally wash it off using lukewarm water. I finish it off by splashing cold water on my face.

The oatmeal and almond meal in this mask efficiently exfoliates the skin and removes blackheads. One of the two main ingredients, activated carbon, sucks out any dirt from the pores and unclog them. Another main ingredient is Tea tree oil which is really effective on acne. Its antibacterial property helps fight acne. Then there is peppermint which is great for oily skin as it controls the secretion of excessive sebum and prevents the pores from being clogged and causing acne. My skin is not acne-prone so I can’t tell you if this face pack really works on acne or not.

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review | Cherry On Top

I would highly recommend this mask to you. The smaller size comes for Rs 300 only and you get the benefits of a scrub and a mask in one product. This is definitely a great value for money. This product is all-natural, contains no preservative and good for sensitive skin. Those who have oily or combination skin must try it out this summer. This controls excess oiliness without making the skin dry.

What’s your favourite face mask at this moment?

That was it for today’s review. I hope you found this post helpful. Make sure to share it with your family and friends if you did. Pour in your thoughts in the comments.

Sunscreen Essentials: How to Protect Your Skin Daily

Are you someone who is worried about wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots or even skin cancer? No you are not alone in this!  This is a serious skin cancer for both men and women. Our skin is always exposed and thus we are prone to many skin issues.

Do you wonder why? No, not only due to your liver, kidneys, pancreas or your oily, dandruff full scalp. The sun and its harmful UV rays could be a big reason behind many skin issues.

Studies by National Institutes of Health show 65% to 90% of melanoma cases happen due to UV exposure. The reason behind 90% of skin cancers is also the sun’s harmful UV rays. This also includes basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma .

More than 30% of people do not wear sunscreen on a daily basis. This happens mostly due to the sticky texture of the sunscreen, the excessive sweating after application and also many forget to apply before going out or even at home.

But this won’t help. We need to prevent these skin diseases. We need to spread awareness about how harmful these UV rays are. Our goal should be to make people aware about the benefits of sunscreen at large. This blog will guide you on selecting and using the best sunscreen for face according to your skin type.

Sunscreen For Face : Need of the Hour : Why?

We can often read articles and frequently asked questions on social media, how people very conveniently skip the sunscreen for face and body. Yes you are at home, yes it is cloudy outside, yes it is winters or raining outside. But that is not a reason enough to skip your sunscreen.

In fact, studies showed how the flame from the gas oven in the kitchen and the screen lights from the phones and laptops emit rays. These rays are harmful. They can affect your skin which might lead to spotting and early signs of ageing. This exposure leads to wrinkles, sunspots and uneven skin tone.

Can you imagine your skin constantly battling the sun’s harmful rays? Everyday activities like walking to work or sitting by a window expose you to UV radiation. Without proper protection, your skin suffers. Collagen breaks down. That causes premature aging. Sunburns damage skin cells and increase the risk of melanoma.

Another major reason because of which people usually avoid using sunscreen is the after effects. After applying sunscreen, many of us sweat a lot. We at times find a white caste on the face. Some of our faces turn black and oily too. Most importantly, we need to reapply sunscreen almost every 3 hours. But fact is – We Need Sunscreens To Protect Our Delicate Skin.

So, how can you shield yourself from all these dangers, myths and mental blocks? The only answer to that is consistent use of Sunscreen for face.

Embrace Sunscreen For Face For Sun Protection

The first line of defence for your skin against sun damage is using a good broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 and more. A high quality sunscreen creates a barrier and blocks harmful UV rays. But you must have been confused on which one to buy as there are so many sunscreens there in the market.

Criteria for A Good Sunscreen for Face

  • Your sunscreen should be a physical sunscreen.
  • It should be SPF 50 and above for better sun protection.
  • Your sunscreen should be broad spectrum and PA++++ in nature protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays.
  • The formula that you will choose should be non-sticky and easily absorbable in skin.
  • Your sunscreen should suit your skin type to provide optimal results.

Types of Sunscreen for Face

There are 3 main types of sunscreen:

Physical(mineral) Sunscreen:

Physical(mineral) sunscreens contain mineral ingredients like zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. They remain on top of the skin and physically block UV rays. It is a better option than any other sunscreen. Mineral sunscreen starts working just after application.

Chemical Sunscreen:

Chemical sunscreens use ingredients that absorb UV radiation. They convert it into heat. Then it is released from the skin. They are easy to apply. It takes 15 – 30 minutes to start working after application. It is not advised by dermatologists as some of the chemical filters may get absorbed in the bloodstream.

Hybrid Sunscreen:

Hybrid sunscreens are a mix of both the physical and chemical filters. This type of sunscreen usually provides a broader spectrum to protect the skin. These can be a bit more expensive but it provides a combined benefit.

Choosing the Right Sunscreen for Face According to Your Skin Type

Choosing the right sunscreen is not that easy. But as we say nothing is impossible. So a little bit of research could provide you with the right one. One easy way to get your perfect sunscreen is according to your skin type.

  • Oily Skin – Finding the best sunscreen for oily skin can be a challenge at times. You need oil-free, gel based sunscreens for oily skin. They don’t clog pores. You would not sweat profusely when using a gel based thin textured sunscreen. Like Beauty of Joseon Relief Sunscreen.
  • Dry Skin – You can use a slightly thicker and creamy formula. It will protect your skin from the sun. It also will be hydrating and moisturizes your skin providing more protection. Like Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sunscreen Serum.
  • Normal Skin – The magic lies here. Your skin type allows you to try out any type of sunscreen.
  • Combination Skin – It’s tricky here. Best would be to go for a gel based sunscreen. That will provide protection and hydration both while preventing sudden breakouts.
  • Sensitive Skin – Due to the sensitivity, it is best for you to opt for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic sunscreens.

Sunscreen Application Tips & More:

  • Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine Guide, before makeup.
  • Apply it liberally 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating.
  • Don’t forget often-missed areas like the ears, neck, and hairline.
  • Use a separate sunscreen for your face and body. Sunscreen for face is often lighter and less likely to clog pores.
  • Even on cloudy days, apply sunscreen. UV rays can penetrate clouds.
  • You should use about a nickel-sized amount of sunscreen for your face. Make sure to cover all exposed areas.
  • Don’t forget to check the expiration date. Expired sunscreen is less effective.
  • Try to consider mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
  • Always read labels and choose products that are appropriate for your skin type.

Debunking Some Sunscreen Myths

Myth: Darker skin people don’t need sunscreen. They don’t get tanned.

Fact: Regardless of skin colour, everyone needs sunscreen. Every skin tone is prone to skin diseases including skin cancer without proper sun protection.

Myth: You only need sunscreen on sunny days.

Fact: The sun is visible every day. Even on cloudy days, the sun might look deemed. But the UV rays are capable of harming your skin without sun protection just the same as any sunny days.

Myth: Makeup with SPF is enough.

Fact: No, makeup with SPF is just not enough. You need a proper sunscreen in the daytime to provide your skin proper protection.

Myth: 3 finger sized sunscreen should be applied on the face.

Fact: Dermatologists suggest only a nickel size amount to apply on the face.

Final Thoughts

Investing in high end brands for moisturizers, face wash, toners and makeup would not help you. It would not stop sun spots, skin diseases, uneven skin tone and skin cancer from appearing.

Investing in a good Sunscreen for face with SPF50 and broad spectrum is an important step. It ensures skin protection from harmful UV rays. Using sunscreen generously is as important as keeping your skin hydrated.

Yes, some sunscreens could give you white cast, some make you sweat profusely. Some of them make your skin feel suffocating. So you just have to follow this guide properly and invest in a good sunscreen which suits you the best.

So don’t wait any longer. Now that you are well aware about the pros and cons of sunscreen, go buy it!

How to Layer Skincare Products Correctly

Are you someone who is dreaming to achieve that coveted glowing and healthy skin? Well you are not the only one. There are more than 2 billion women globally who often do more than just slapping on a single cream!

Yes now we all know how important following a good daily skincare routine is! It not only provides you with a healthy glowing skin, it also takes care of the skin issues that you face more than often.

Pigmentation, dark spots, acne scars, sudden breakouts – you name it to have the skincare serums to treat them from within. By now you already know the importance of a morning skincare routine and an evening skincare routine. If not then you need to do your research properly darling!

But but but…..you might have thought it out. In spite of following the skincare routine guide, still you might not be getting that rejuvenated and glowing glass like skin??? Well then you must be going wrong with the techniques. Here comes the big reveal!!!

The secret lies in layering skincare products effectively. Yes, that’s the key. Layering them in the right order. But there are a plethora of serums, moisturizers, emulsions, essences and toners available. And that brings in multiple steps.

And we get it. Figuring out the skincare order can feel overwhelming. Fear not! This comprehensive guide will decode the process. It will ensure you get the most out of every precious drop. We’ll get deep into the science behind layering skincare products.

Then we will explore why the skincare order matters in our routine. And based on that will provide a step-by-step guide to building a skincare routine. This will cater to your unique skin needs. Let’s unlock the secrets to a flawless complexion – shall we!!!

Why Do Layering Skincare Products Matter?

Your skin is like a sponge. It can absorb as much as you want at once. But applying skincare products in the wrong skincare order will stop absorption. This will mean that some of the ingredients would fail to work. Do you think applying a thick cream before a light-weight thin serum would work?

Well no! The thick cream works like a barrier. Once the barrier is up, how can the thin skincare serum penetrate into the skin to treat the issues??? So layering skincare products is a strategic way to allow each product to enter the skin effectively. And this will let the products show their benefits.

This is why you need to know the correct skincare order to make them work. There is another important reason why you need to learn the correct skincare order. So you apply the products according to the correct skincare routine steps. Then all the ingredients work together to enhance each other’s effectiveness.

For example you apply a niacinamide serum after a retinol serum followed by a hydrating moisturiser. We all know retinol might dry your skin. So this method provides proper hydration. This will help all the ingredients work better to give optimal results.

The Golden Rule: Thinnest to Thickest

The scientific golden rule of layering skincare products is to apply them from thinnest to thickest consistency. This will help the light-weight watery products to penetrate into the skin first. This will ensure that the ingredients in thinner texture would be able to start working. They will also arrange the path for the thicker textures.

This is important. These thicker textures are heavier. They provide more hydration. Not only that, they also protect the skin barrier preventing anything else from entering your skin. This order enables each product to work effectively without getting blocked by heavy layers.

When you paint a wall would you apply a thick coat of primer after a thin layer of paint? Of course not! The same logic applies to skincare routines. This rule helps your skin efficiently absorb the active ingredients in your routine, leading to better results.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Layering Skincare Products

We are providing a step-by-step skincare layering guide to help you with your morning and evening skincare routines. You need to improvise them according to your skin type and specific skin issues.

Morning Skincare Routine:

Step 1: Cleanser

Start your day with a gentle cleanser to remove sebum, sweat and impurities. CosRX Good Morning Face Wash does the job perfectly well.

Step 2: Toner

Use a toner to maintain the pH balance of your skin by preventing it from getting dry. Use a light toner like Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Water.

Step 3: Serum

Use a serum as per your skin issues. You can also use a serum or two to enhance your skin quality. Klairs Vitamin C Drops brightens your skin. It also boosts collagen production. You can also use Plum Niacinamide and Rice Water Serum to rejuvenate your skin.

Step 4: Eye Cream

Using an eye cream is a must to treat dark circles and puffiness.

Step 5: Lip Balm

Hydrating your lips is as important as hydrating your skin and body. So apply your lip balm preferably with a SPF. The Hyphen Lip Balms have SPF too and are easily available at Nykaa.

Step 6: Moisturizer

Moisturizer acts as a barrier preventing loss of moisture. Choose a hydrating yet light moisturizer according to your skin type. Clinique 100 Hour Moisture Surge Cream is a good choice.

Step 7: Sunscreen

Sunscreen is non-negotiable! Apply a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Even on cloudy days! Try to keep applying it every 3 hours for better results.

Evening Skincare Routine:

Step 1: Double Cleansing

Yes, double cleansing is required to take away all the dirt, gunk and impurities of the whole day along with makeup. So first you need to use a cleansing balm or oil. Massage on your face. Emulsify it with water and rinse. Ginseng Cleansing Oil from Beauty of Joseon or Clinique All Day Cleansing Balm are good options.

Next you need to use a gentle water-based face wash according to your skin type. Minimalist Face Wash with salicylic acid takes away all the gunk with squeaky clean skin.

Step 2: Exfoliation (1 to 2 times a Week)

Try to use a chemical exfoliant twice a week.

Step 3: Hydrating Toner

Our skin needs a lot of hydration. So a hydrating toner will work magic when applied properly. Tirtir Milk Toner is a great option.

Step 4: Serum

Yes this is the key – always use a serum before a moisturizer. The serum needs to be according to your skin issues. For example you can use a retinol serum followed by a niacinamide and azelaic acid every alternative day to prevent ageing and breakouts.

Step 5: Eye Cream

By now, you know this layering is important. Apply in this order only as eye creams are thinner than moisturizers.

Step 6: Lip Balm

Good hydrating lips are absolute must haves.

Step 7: Moisturizer

Finally apply your moisturizer according to your skin type to lock all that moisture.

Adapting in Layering Skincare Products in Your Skincare Routine With Some Important Tips

  • Patch tests of all your products are important before actual application.
  • Remember – less is more! A few drops of serum and a pea sized amount of moisturizer does the job perfectly.
  • Give some time in between each layer so that each product gets absorbed properly.
  • Be mindful of potential ingredient interactions. For example, avoid using vitamin C and retinol at the same time, as they can destabilize each other. Use one in the morning and the other at night.

Final Thoughts

Layering skincare products in the right order is a scientific process. But it is not that critical. Initially it might all sound confusing. But once you get into the routine and understand the order – it is a piece of cake to ace the skincare routine steps.

Above all you need to choose the right products for your skin type to unlock your skin’s full potential and achieve a healthy, radiant complexion layering them in the right order. Last but not the least remember to be patient, consistent and always listen to your skin. Happy layering!

When you are outside, be it at the office the whole day, or spending some quality time with your friends or your beloved shopping or at a cafe, you are accumulating a lot of dust, dirt, pollution, sweat and harmful UV rays if it is in the daytime.

The moment you step in your home, you will clean your face, getting rid of all the dirt from your skin to get a squeaky clean face. So yes, that is how you start your skincare routine guide everyday with a good face cleanser.

This cleanser will remove dirt, dust, oil, sweat, pollution, makeup and all other impurities. It will unclog your pores and prevent breakouts, acne, large pores, dullness and premature ageing. Choosing the best cleanser for skin type specific to different individuals is the most crucial step in your whole routine.

Moreover there is an ample amount of cleansers available in the market from different brands for different skin issues. This surely will confuse you from choosing the right one for yourself. This guide will be your holy grail to choose the right cleanser for your skin type and its specific needs.

Understanding Your Skin for the Best Cleanser for Skin Type

Before talking about different cleansers and their purposes, you need to identify your skin type. This will help you choose the right cleanser to keep your skin clean and treat specific issues. The primary categories are :-

  • If you have oily skin then your skin produces excess sebum which leads to a shiny appearance, enlarged pores and frequent breakouts.
  • Dry skin lacks sufficient moisture. This results in tightness, flaky and itchy skin, and rough texture.
  • If you have combination skin, then you have both oily and dry skin. You most probably have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) with dry cheeks.
  • Sensitive skin gets irritated very easily by certain ingredients and environmental factors. This leads to redness, itching and burning sensation on all over the face or on specific parts.
  • If you have normal skin, you have a well-balanced skin without excessive oil secretion and dryness. This skin type has fewer imperfections with smooth texture.

Best Cleanser for Skin Type – A Guide to Choose Based on Your Skin Type

Oily Skin Cleanser:

  • Gel Cleanser
  • Foaming Cleanser

The best cleanser for skin type for oily skin is mostly gel and foaming cleansers. The formulas that this oily skin cleanser have effectively remove excess oil and unclog pores. And all this happens without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. You get squeaky clean and soft skin.

Gel cleansers are extremely lightweight and jelly-like as they are mostly water-based. The Cetaphil Oil Cleanser has a gel texture and is extremely light weight. The Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Cleansing Face Wash has a gel texture along with 2% Salicylic Acid. They have deep cleansing properties.

Foam cleansers are lightweight and airy. The foam lifts off the dirt easily, leaving a non-sticky finish. There is niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and ceramides in the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Face Wash for Oily Skin.

When you are buying facial cleansers, you should look for ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil, known for their acne-fighting properties. You should avoid cleansers that are too harsh. They can trigger the skin to produce even more oil, increasing the problem. An oily skin cleanser should leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed, not tight or dry.

Dry Skin Cleanser:

  • Cream Cleanser
  • Oil Cleanser
  • Micellar Water

If you have dry skin, the best cleanser for skin type is a cream and oil-based cleanser. They have gentle formulas. These cleansers hydrate the skin while removing impurities. They typically contain moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides.

Creamy cleansers are perfect for dry and mature skin. Ideal to use in both your am and pm routine, especially when the skin feels tight. It leaves the skin feeling soft and supple and nourish and soothes dry flaky skin.

A cream cleanser like Quench Rice Water & Vitamin E Face Wash, gently cleans while not stripping away the moisture. It also removes dirt, light makeup and impurities.

The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil breaks down heavy makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. It also works as the first step for double cleansing maintaining the natural moisture barrier of the skin.

Micellar water is another great option. Bioderma Sensibio H2O Soothing Cleanser is a very good micellar water that cleans the skin, removes makeup, dirt, sunscreen and impurities without rinsing. Ideal for on-the-go usages.

Avoid foaming cleansers for dry skin types. Harsh sulfates can further strip the skin of its natural oils. A dry skin cleanser should leave your skin feeling soft, supple, and hydrated.

Combination Skin Cleanser:

  • Gentle Foaming Cleansers
  • Balancing Cleansers

If you have combination skin then it requires a balanced approach as you have an oily forehead, chin and nose and dry cheeks. The best cleanser for skin type is one that effectively cleanses oily areas without drying out the drier parts of your face.

You have to look for gentle foaming cleansers or balancing cleansers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera. This helps to maintain moisture levels. Best practice would be to use a micellar water, like the one from Bioderma or a cleansing oil, like The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Rich Cleansing Oil as the first step. Follow it  with a gentle foaming cleanser.

Sensitive Skin Cleanser:

  • Hypoallergenic Cleansers
  • Fragrance-free Cleansers
  • Cream Cleansers

If you have sensitive skin then your skin needs extra care and attention every day. The best cleanser for your sensitive skin is a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula. This is specifically designed for sensitive skin to offer respite from skin irritants.

Many suffer from skin irritation with just a little fragrance in the cleanser which might lead to sudden dryness, itchiness and breakouts. Minor chemicals bring out rashes in the face. So you have to be extra careful with what you apply on your face.

Cream cleansers are often a good choice. Avoid cleansers containing harsh chemicals, alcohol, or strong fragrances, as these can trigger irritation. Always patch-test a new cleanser on a small area of your skin before applying it to your entire face. Ingredients like chamomile or aloe vera suits the best in cleansers for sensitive skin types.

Normal Skin Cleanser:

  • Gel Cleansers
  • Cream Cleansers
  • Foaming Cleansers

You are blessed if you have normal skin. You can use different types of cleansers and stick to the one that suits you. Gel, cream and foaming cleansers – all work equally good in cleaning the skin from dirt, dust, pollutants, impurities, sweat, excess sebum and makeup. It is also easy to find in the market. The one from Simple Kind to Skin Moisturising Facial Wash is one such product.

Understanding the Best Cleanser for Skin Type – Based on Ingredients

The best way to decode the suitable cleanser for your skin would be to understand which ingredients suit you or not through this list –

Ingredient Type Function
Hyaluronic Acid Humectant Attracts and retains moisture in the skin.
Glycerine Humectant Helps keep skin hydrated by drawing moisture from the air.
Ceramides Lipid Restores and protects the skin’s natural barrier.
Salicylic Acid Exfoliant/BHA Unclogs pores and reduces acne.

Best avoided for dry skin types.

How to Build an Evening Skincare Routine That Works

Are you someone who is suffering from varied skin issues? Do you have pimples, sudden skin breakouts, flaky skin, patches here and there and hyperpigmented skin despite following a skincare routine using expensive products?

Well, welcome aboard! A significant percentage of women share the same story. They follow a daily skincare routine, eat healthy and sleep adequately. They use expensive and trendy products from social media, irrespective of their needs.

Still, many of them go through unending breakouts, pimple scars, hyperpigmented skin, rashes and dry flaky patches and whatnot. Ever wondered why this happens? Are you someone who is on the brink of losing hope and giving up??

Then you have landed on the right page. Skincare plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall health quotient of our skin. As discussed previously, the daily skincare routine is divided into two parts: morning skincare routine and evening skincare routine. And yes, you need to follow both to get that healthy, glowing skin.

We have already provided you with the perfect morning skincare routine guide. Now we will share the skincare routine guide for the evening, which, if you can follow religiously, then you surely would have beautiful, healthy, hydrated and glowing skin.

Understanding The Need for an Evening Skincare Routine

The secret to achieving glowing skin is to consistently follow an effective skincare routine in the evening. Now you may ask what the need is for evening skincare when you are doing a morning skincare routine every day?

Throughout the day, your skin absorbs all dirt, pollution, UV Rays and even blue light. Then comes makeup, sweat and excess oil, which, if not cleaned at the right time, will clog your pores and cause sudden breakouts.

All these cause disruption of the natural balance of your skin. Accumulation of dead skin cells and environmental damage leads to dullness. Dehydration due to moisture loss and harsh weather cause dryness and flaky patches.

Acnes and sudden breakouts are caused due to clogged pores and inflammation. Collagen breakdown and fine lines caused by UV exposure and free radicals lead to premature aging. This is why your skin needs evening skincare to repair and rejuvenate while you sleep at night.

Why is a Basic Evening Skincare Routine Not Enough?

You need to understand that your skin is accumulating lots of dirt, sweat, oil and pollution. So, just a cleansing of your face is the very first step, but not all. The face wash will take all the dirt away, but you will still face skin issues at large due to negligence.

The trick is to treat the underlying issues like dryness, dullness, breakouts, aging and hyperpigmentation. Just a cleanser would only make your skin tight, dry, irritated and prone to breakouts. Your skin needs ingredients that can repair any damage, boost collagen production and provide a healthy, radiant glow.

While a diligent at-home routine is foundational, sometimes achieving truly transformative results requires a more advanced, professional approach. For those struggling with persistent concerns like deep wrinkles, stubborn hyperpigmentation, or significant loss of elasticity, specialized treatments can offer targeted solutions that go beyond daily product application. These services, often found at medical spas, leverage cutting-edge technology and expert knowledge to rejuvenate the skin at a deeper level, providing personalized care that addresses the root causes of skin issues. For residents in the area seeking comprehensive skin revitalization and lasting beauty, exploring options for a Facial Colorado Springs can be a crucial next step towards achieving their aesthetic goals.

Without a proper evening skincare routine, you are leaving your skin vulnerable. You are stopping the ability to regenerate overnight. The fact is, as we age gradually, the ability to heal slows down over time. Only a targeted skincare routine in the evening can help you.

A Step-by-step Evening Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin

Step 1: Double Cleansing

The effectiveness of any skincare routine guide starts with cleaning. The art of double cleansing includes two parts.

First, you take an oil or balm-based cleanser, like Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Oil or Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. Massage it on your face and then emulsify it with water, and then rinse it off to get rid of excess sebum, makeup and dirt.

The second step is to follow it up with a water-based cleanser to get rid of impurities and get a squeaky-clean face. You can try out foamy or gel cleansers for dry or oily skin types. It is best to include salicylic acid in your cleanser to prevent sudden acne and pimples, like COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser or Minimalist 2% Salicylic Acid + LHA Face Cleanser with Zinc for Reducing Sebum & Acne.

Step 2: Exfoliation (2-3 Times A Week)

This step removes dead skin cells. In result the skin becomes smoother, softer and brighter. It helps penetration of the rest of the products more easily. It is better to use chemical exfoliators like, The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution than physical exfoliators like St.Ives Apricot Scrub.

Step 3: Toning

You should now use a toner to balance your skin’s pH level and prep your skin for the next steps. You can use a hydrating toner with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rice or glycerin, like Tirtir Milk Skin Toner or Tony Moly Ceramide Mochi Toner  to give overnight hydration and brighter and radiant skin.

Step 4: Serum for Targeted Issues

You can use serums for your specific skin issues. These are concentrated forms of treatment to address specific skin concerns. Like choose The Ordinary  Salicylic Acid 2% Solution if you have acne issues. Follow it by The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%.

You can use retinol like, Minimalist Retinol 0.3% Face Serum if you are a beginner and build up gradually to prevent early aging of skin. Following it up with a niacinamide, like, Plum 10% Niacinamide Brightening Face Serum with Rice Water is the best way to lock all the goodness and amplify it.

Step 5: Eye Cream

The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin. So it tends to dry up early, forming wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. A good under eye cream like Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum moisturizes and protects the area.

Step 6: Lip Exfoliation (2 Times A Week) & Lip Balm

You should exfoliate your lips at least twice a week to get rid of dry skin cells. You can use homemade sugar, honey and coffee paste or the MCaffeine Coffee Lip Scrub. You can use Hyphen Vitamin Infused Peptide Lip Balm or Mango Lip Balm to moisturize dry chapped lips.

Step 7: Moisturizer (Night Cream)

Your night cream depends on your skin type. It is crucial as it seals all the previous steps providing overnight hydration. You can choose a gel based night cream like Plum Green Tea Night Gel Cream if you have oily skin. If you have dry skin you can choose CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer Lightweight Night Cream with Ceramides.

Step 8: Face Oils

If you feel your skin to be dry and dehydrated, you can include facial oils in your routine. It will provide you the extra layer of hydration and nourishment. You need to apply facial oils, like Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Youth Revitalizing Facial Oil or Minimalist 100% Squalane Facial Oil,  after your night cream to lock in hydration.

Tips To Follow For Healthy Glowing Skin

  • Use a clay or gel mask based on your skin type twice a week.
  • Use a sheet mask thrice a week. You can choose from Nykaa ones that are made in Korea. You will get different variants based on your issues and skin type. You will also get from brands like Tony Moly, Innisfree, Laneige, The Face Shop India, etc.
  • You need to slowly introduce retinol into your skin due to its potency. Start with applying 1-2 times a week and gradually increase the frequency once it settles down.
  • Use salicylic acid serum twice a week. Do not pair up salicylic acid and retinol together in the same routine. Using sunscreen is absolutely mandatory the next day if you are using these acids in your evening skincare routine.
  • Eating healthy, following a good lifestyle, drinking 3 to 4 litres of water daily, including fruits and vegetables more in your diet, sleeping for a minimum of 7-8 hours – are musts.
  • Always do a patch test before using a new product.
  • Choose products based on your skin type.
  • Always apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency for better absorption.

Final Thoughts

This guide is like a holy grail for achieving healthy, radiant and glowing skin. It is the perfect step-by-step evening skincare routine for you that will deliver prominent results if followed religiously. Remember consistency is the key. Following all the steps hardly will take 30 minutes of your time every day. But it will improve your skin texture, reduce dullness, increase overnight hydration and provide a radiant and healthy skin over time.
