There are so many skin care products on the market these days it can be hard to know which ones to choose. With all the different brands, ingredients, and promises, how can you tell which ones will work best for you?
What should I know about this?
Here are a few dos and don’ts to remember next time you shop for skincare products.
DO start by identifying your skin type. Skin comes in many different styles and shapes, so it is crucial to figure out what kind of skin you have before choosing any products. For example, if you have dry or sensitive skin, you may need to look for moisturizing creams free of harsh chemicals or fragrances. Similarly, oily or acne-prone skin might require a cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help clear up breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
Don’t rely solely on marketing claims when making your selection. Many skin care products are marketed as particularly effective at treating or preventing specific skin conditions, such as wrinkles or age spots. However, the effectiveness of these claims can vary widely and is not always supported by scientific evidence. Instead, look for products tested and approved by reputable organizations like the Skin Care Foundation or the American Academy of Dermatology.
