The truth is that there is no such thing as a singular "best" skin care product. Each person has different a skin type that may require a different formula. What works for your best friend might not do anything for you. The cream that softens your mom's skin might leave you with hives. What enhances the models on that catwalk skin may not work in the least for you. Try a product; see if it works; if not, repeat the process until you find one that does. The time you spend finding a match will be well worth it for your skin. Read on for hints to shorten the search.
Remember that the skin on your face is far more sensitive than the skin on the rest of your body. You'll see a lot of skin products that are supposed to be 'good for your entire body,' and that's not really accurate so be careful.
Things are different when you're young and it was no problem to wash all over with any old soap. But do that as an adult, and you'll only be washing away the important moisture that is vital for healthy and beautiful skin. Accepting that you are aging and that you need different products for different parts of your body is an important step in learning how to figure out which skin care products are best for you. It's certainly possible you've been using the wrong product for your skin. If you've never determined what type of skin you have, and you're not very familiar, then this may be difficult to do. A cosmetologist or beautician can help "diagnose" your skin type and help you figure out which are the best skin care products for that type. But they're also sales people, so be prepared to hear a sales pitch for most likely expensive products, however at least you'll have the knowledge about your skin.
Discover which skin products are market leading the market. Find out what effect the ingredients in a certain skincare product has on your body. When you know what an ingredient does then you can easily pick the right match for your skin type. You will know that for breakouts you will choose something with salicylic acid. If you have clear skin then this ingredient wouldn't be needed. A person who is sensitive to the sun might want to choose a moisturizer that already contains sunscreen.
For those with tough skin you don't have to be as concerned with ingredients as those with sensitive skin.
Obviously there are a number of considerations concerning your skin type and which product is best. As you know, it'll take trial and error and time to determine what's best for your skin. However, have patience with it because eventually you really can have healthy and glowing skin.
