8 Skin Care Essentials Every Woman Must Own

Let’s admit, it’s a bit challenging to shortlist natural skincare products from millions of them available with a pharmacy. But does that mean you would surrender to the vast choices and let your skin suffer from drying of skin, sunburn, wrinkles and blackheads? Of course, not, and to ensure an effective skincare routine, we have picked out eight skincare products every woman must have in their cosmetics pouch. Ready to check if you have all of them?

Natural Skin Care Products Every Dermatologist Recommends

There might be many such products popping up every day, but we believe you must stick to the mainstay ones. By natural, we are suggesting non-toxic ones that are free from synthetic chemicals, parabens, fragrances and dyes. Here are eight of them worth taking note of.

1. Cleanser

It’s a staple in the skincare routine because it helps your skin get rid of dead skin cells, oil, dirt and make-up in the first place. Most of you would mistake it to be just a make-up remover, but, in reality, it cleanses skin post-sweat sessions.

How to use it? Take a small amount on your fingertips, apply it on your skin and gently massage for 30 seconds to 1 minute until it lathers up. Wash off with lukewarm water. In the market, you may find three options - water-, oil-, gel- and cream-based. Pick any of them that best suits your skin. For instance, go for a cream- or oil-based cleanser for sensitive skin.

2. Exfoliants

Many skip this step after cleansing because they fear exfoliation may worsen skin problems like eczema. However, you may start with a once-a-week application to check how it goes with the type of skin you have. If everything goes smoothly, you shall benefit from outright removal of dry skin cells, unclogging of pores and brightening up of skin. While physical exfoliation is a bit intense, go for its chemical counterpart to gently dissolve those dead cells.

3. Toner

Sometimes, your cleanser and exfoliator may miss out on dead skin. That is when a toner comes off handy. Spray it over a cotton swab and gently wipe off the lingering dead skin cells to feel refreshed. It can even help you get rid of oil, dirt and other impurities, leaving behind tight skin with minimum pores. Dermatologists recommend regular use to achieve radiant-looking skin.

4. Serum

After cleanser and toner come serum. Serum amps up one’s skincare regimen because vitamins and nutrients imbued the formulations. Apply some before moisturising to nourish and hydrate your sensitive skin. Of all the skincare products, this one is vital and needs immediate incorporation into your regimen.

5. Moisturiser

Finally, we come to moisturiser for sensitive skin, dry and oily skin! The good news is that if you follow the sequence of skincare products stated above, including toner and serum, you would require one pump less of it. As guessed right, it’s the perfect hydration remedy for dry skin. A generous amount shall lock in moisture and safeguard against irritation and dryness. However, the common query among all is - should it come before or after a sunscreen? Let’s make it easy for you. Get hold of an SPF-based moisturiser to cut down all your doubts.

6. Anti-ageing cream

Now everything above was for daytime. What about nighttime then? When the sun sets, and you gradually get ready for bed, make sure you cleanse your face and use a toner. In place of the other skincare products in the sequence, use night creams for that magical glow for the next day. Anti-ageing properties in them, infused by retinol, works as a stimulant of skin cell growth.

7. Eye cream

How can we ever forget about eye cream! It’s the best cure for dark circles and gets rid of wrinkles by plumping up the skin. While women mostly apply them before going to bed at night, we feel morning is also a good time to illuminate the skin around your eyes.

8. Weekly mask

Lastly, collect face masks and use them alternatively every week. This practice can cure wrinkles, dryness and leave your skin rejuvenated. Ensure you stick to this regimen because overuse can spur other skin problems.
