Skincare products can be quite a difficult choice. We often spend days and months figuring out what works for us. Does Sephora’s Instant Moisturizer work better for you considering the lack of time or a Total Moisture Facial Cream from Benefit Cosmetics suffice? Is Sephora Water Gel hydrating enough or is it better to use Pomegranate Eye Jelly from Estee Lauder for a better impact? Questions and more questions we have to confront when choosing skin care. For someone starting out early and not having the time or bandwidth to navigate them, below are a few must-have skin care products in your beauty arsenal. You can have all of them or those most important, chosen as per your skin type. Always know more and experiment with a brand to know whether it suits you and buy all their products.

Skin Care Products

Moisturisers

As much as the cleaning and toning leading up to moisturising are important, it is finally what kind of moisturiser you use that will make a difference to your skin. This is often considered the last step of your skin care routine, and is most important. Hydrating the skin helps in restoring water content, infusing anti-oxidants and vitamins and is a must do in your beauty ritual. Moisturizers are water based and oil based. Skin care creams as moisturisers are the most popular. You can even use facial oil as a moisturiser but all of it depends on whether you have oily skin, half oily and dry or very dry skin. Accordingly, whether a day cream, night cream or something more, different ones suit different purposes. An anti-blemish solution from Clinique is specially formulated for treating acne and prevent future breakouts. The Sephora collection has moisturisers made from natural ingredients such as coconut, pineapple and pomegranate to replenish lost nutrients.

Face Masks

Extreme dry and damaged skin does best with face mask. Mud masks from Sephora India and even Cucumber Eye Masks from them go deeper, replenish moisture and fluid and correct the imbalance. There isn’t much that face masks cannot cure. As much as homemade masks work, a specific one from a noted brand can balance things evenly. Besides restoring moisture, masks also help to detoxify, purify, bright and remove blemishes. This does more than a basic moisturiser.
Some of the best skin care products in India are from brands like Sephora for makeup, Clinique for makeup and eye treatment, Estee Lauder fragrances and OMORFEE hydrating products.

Skin Care Creams

Thicker in consistency, creamy and more intense in its moisturizing, skin care creams like the Sephora age-defying one for eyes and lips, and the OMORFEE Perfecting Facial Crème rejuvenates and detoxifies skin with their natural cold pressed oils providing intense moisture. They are also anti-tan and therefore pack in so much more than their intended purpose.
As you’ve noticed the emphasis for beauty care products is always on the moisturising because the moisture retention ensures that skin remains supple and soft for long. However eye care needs special emphasis, given how delicate skin around the eye is and how dry it can become. When choosing eye care, choose products wisely. An age defying cream from Sephora is much better for women after 30 years than a hydra sparkling gel from Givenchy which is much better for younger skin. Products made with natural ingredients such as pomegranate and orange are even more so.
When shopping for best skin care products, ensure that
• Products are diverse and offer variations for different needs and skin types
• Are able to combat signs of ageing, wear and tear and skin smoothening
• Are intense repair to combat vagaries of climate changes and ravage
Skin care products are available in plenty, especially skin care creams and moisturisers. Buying them for your beauty care needs to be done with discretion and care so you don’t end up with something you may never use.
