FAQs

1. How do I identify my skin type?

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and wait for 30–60 minutes without applying any product.

  • Tight or flaky skin indicates dry skin
  • Excess shine indicates oily skin
  • Shine only on the T-zone indicates combination skin
  • No discomfort or excess oil indicates normal skin

2. Why is a daily skincare routine important?

A consistent skincare routine helps maintain the skin barrier, prevents breakouts, delays signs of aging, and keeps skin healthy, hydrated, and protected from environmental damage.

3. How often should I cleanse my face?

Cleansing twice a day—morning and night—is ideal. Over-cleansing can strip natural oils, while under-cleansing can clog pores and cause breakouts.

4. Do I really need sunscreen every day?

Yes. Sunscreen should be worn daily, even indoors or on cloudy days. UV rays can cause pigmentation, premature aging, and skin damage.

5. What is the correct order of a skincare routine?

A basic routine should follow this order:

  1. Cleanser
  2. Toner (optional)
  3. Serum or treatment
  4. Moisturizer
  5. Sunscreen (morning only)

6. How can I reduce acne naturally?

Maintain a consistent skincare routine, avoid touching your face, cleanse gently, stay hydrated, and use products with ingredients like salicylic acid (BHA), niacinamide, and soothing botanicals.

7. How often should I exfoliate my skin?

Exfoliate 1–2 times a week for most skin types. Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation, sensitivity, and breakouts.

8. Can oily skin skip moisturizer?

No. Oily skin still needs hydration. Skipping moisturizer can cause the skin to produce even more oil. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula.

9. What ingredients help brighten dull skin?

Ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin E, licorice extract, aloe vera, and gentle exfoliating acids help improve brightness and even skin tone.

10. How can I prevent premature aging?

Use sunscreen daily, keep your skin hydrated, avoid harsh products, follow a balanced diet, and maintain a consistent skincare routine.

11. How long should I try a product before judging results?

Most skincare products take 2–4 weeks to show visible results. Consistency is key.

12. Is patch testing necessary?

Yes. Always perform a patch test before using a new product to check for sensitivity or allergic reactions.

13. Can stress affect my skin?

Yes. Stress can trigger acne, dullness, and sensitivity. Adequate sleep, hydration, and proper skincare help manage stress-related skin issues.

14. How important is hydration for skin health?

Drinking enough water and using hydrating skincare products helps maintain skin elasticity, glow, and overall health.

15. Should skincare change with seasons?

Yes. Skin needs differ with climate changes. Lighter products work better in summer, while richer, more nourishing formulas are ideal for winter.
