Question

Can I use two different types of facial cleansers in a day?

Community Answer

You can, but shouldn't because it isn't needed and is not beneficial. It may even be making your dry skin worse. It's always best to use a daily moisturizer with an SPF of at least 20 UVA/UVB in the morning. Try finding a gentle exfoliating scrub to clean your face and neck morning and night. A gentle cleanser such as Cetaphil is great for daily washing.

Question

What types of products should be avoided for dry skin?

Community Answer

Anything advertised for oily skin, as it will only dehydrate your skin further.

Question

Is this also for sensitive skin?

Community Answer

Yes, but some sensitive skin can react to oily products, so try to check. Put a dab behind and just below your ear; if your skin reacts, don't use it.

Question

Can I use a sensitive skin cleanser for my dry skin?

Community Answer

You can try but cease if you find it only dries it out more. If you do decide to try it, use it at night only, then leave a rich moisturiser on as well overnight.

Question

Why does my face always seem to have dead skin?

Community Answer

You either have dry skin and aren't moisturizing enough, or you aren't exfoliating.

Question

Can I use a face mist instead of a serum and rosewater?

Community Answer

You can, but it won't hydrate your skin like the serum does.

Question

Is there a skincare routine for girls with eczema?

Shenoa Teng

Community Answer

Yes, I have extremely dry skin and history with eczema. I find that fewer products are better. I use trilogy cream cleanser and Cetaphil moisturising cream if my skin is extremely dry that day I use some type of oil underneath my moisturiser and this seems to work for me.

Question

What is a normal skin routine?

Eshna Salwan

Community Answer

Skin care is very important for maintaining healthy and radiant skin. It involves a variety of practices and products that work together to cover, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin. There are different types of skin, and each requires a unique approach to skin care. There are some introductory ways that anyone can use to improve their skin's health and appearance. One of the most important things is sanctification. This involves removing dirt, oil and makeup from the face. Sanctification should be done twice a day.
