There are six main skin types — oily, dry, combination, acne-prone, sensitive, and normal — and each one requires different things. For those with super dry skin, you don’t want to use anything made with harsh ingredients that can make the issue worse. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, you don’t want products that are too heavy and will clog your pores. But, no matter what skin type you have, your routine should focus on three main components: cleanse, treat, moisturize. And yes, the order of your routine matters.
Whether you’re a skin-care beginner or a veteran who’s hoping to reset their skin-care routine for oily skin, skin-care routine for dry skin, skin-care routine for acne, or skin-care routine for combination skin, we have you covered.
