How often have we experienced a great skin product recommendation only to discover it is not working for us? Time for an honest answer to a direct question: have you tested your skin to determine its type?

It’s always better to have a skincare routine that is doable, practical and catered to your routine and needs. You could level up your routine with more specialized products once you get comfortable with a basic routine. 

Do it for the love of makeup. Or the money spent on buying all those amazing products. Prepping your skin helps your makeup last longer. It will help you avoid that crazy moment when you know your foundation is cracking and yet you’ve got to smile for that perfect group selfie. 

Hyaluronic Acid is in the house and is reigning. Here is what you need to know. It is one essential skincare ingredient with three variants, its most effective and potent one being Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMWHA). Keeping their chemical names aside, here’s what you need to know. Low Molecular Weight HA has lightweight molecules that penetrate deep into the skin barrier, hydrating it from the inside. This ingredient fights the signs of aging, giving you a more youthful look. It’s more effective than the other two types with higher molecular weight.  

Skin purging is a natural process - the skin is giving itself a detox and removing all the dirt stored deep inside itself. A skin purge could indicate that the product is actually working as intended and your skin is simply adjusting to it. A regular breakout is a signal that the product is irritating the skin. But how do you tell the difference? You will know. 

If there is one thing you could gift your skin, Niacinamide would be it. Here’s why you must invest in this high-performance skincare ingredient. According to popular dermatologists’ votes, Niacinamide would emerge as a winner in any skincare product race.
