A thread on Skincare tips for every skin type, alongside recommended products.

#skinherball

[Pls retweet]
Skincare is absolutely not one-size-fits-all.
While one cleanser might work for your friend, it might cause chaos on your skin.

Main skin types: oily, dry, sensitive, combination.
To help you better address your skin concerns, I'm sharing
the top tips for taking care of each skin type, ahead.

To identify your skin type I suggest washing your face with a gentle cleanser, gently patting your skin dry and then waiting 30 minutes. When the time is up, look at your skin. Does it look normal? You have a normal skin
type. If your T-zone area is oily, but the rest of your skin is on the drier side, you probably have combination skin. If your skin is shiny, you likely have oily or acne-prone skin. Does your face feel tight or look flaky? You probably have dry skin. And if you historically
Notice that your skin is dry, red or feels discomfort with some products, you likely have sensitive skin.

Oily and Acne-Prone Skin Tips: oily skin doesn't necessarily mean acne prone skin. In order to address breakouts or shininess, it’s important to put extra care into your
overall routine. A non-comedogenic cleanser like the @cerave Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser can work wonders for your skin, but washing your face more than twice a day can actually make matters worse and cause an overproduction of oil.
To avoid this, you should also make sure not to skip your moisturizer. That’s right, even if your skin is oily, it still needs hydration. The trick to finding the right moisturizer is to look for one that’s lightweight and non-comedogenic. I suggest the LaRochePosay
Effaclar Mat Mattifying Moisturizer.

If you’re dealing with *excess* sebum, you need to include 2 things in your routine:

- Incorporate a hydrator like the cosrx Snail Mucin
- Add a BHA 2-3x/week like the @PaulasChoice 2% BHA liquid
Dry skin tips: get a hydrating creamy cleanser like the LaRochePosay Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser followed by an ultra-hydrating moisturizer formulated with SPF in the morning. By applying moisturizer while skin is still damp, you’ll be able to help seal in
Moisture for long lasting comfort.

Combination Skin Tips: Combination skin is characterized by an oily T-zone with areas around your cheeks drier. When it comes to cleansing i suggest using a mild cleanser that focuses on sebum removal to help neutralize the oilier areas
The @cerave acne foaming cleanser should be good here too.

Follow up with an oil-free moisturizer like the CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Sensitive Skin Tips: use very gentle facial cleansers. though, you may want to skip exfoliation and avoid the use of AHAs and BHAs. Steer clear of products formulated with fragrances or alcohol, too, as they may trigger irritation. As for your moisturizer, look for a nourishing,
cream-based product that will hydrate skin while helping to prevent or reduce irritation. I suggest the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.
Wear sunscreen as well for any skin type you belong to. All of these products can be ordered online from jumia or gotten from a trusted vendor. Please Retweet thread.

The ordinary glycolic acid toning solution has got 7% glycolic acid.

Now the brand says it's a toner, and should be used once daily.

That's dangerous because there's nothing toning in the toner. You're just going to over exfoliate your skin and it's trouble.
Now I think Neutrogena has got a facial scrub as well. People just go to the shelf and assume that because the reputable brand writes FACIAL on it, so it's ideal to use on the face. That also wrong and it's a lie.
It's absolutely hypocrisy if you undermine organic skincare vendors by saying because no proper public orientation about how their products are formulated, they become fake but still go ahead to buy a facial scrub from Neutrogena, because they're popular and it's imported.

You're probably a new follower if you still use scrubs on your face as an Exfoliant.

You probably assume your dead skin cells are like a mask covering your face, and you need to scrub it off.

In this place, we Exfoliate chemically not with scrubs.
Chemical Exfoliation is superb because it not only targets our dead skin cells, they also help improve skin concerns. You can't treat acne by using a scrub. That's a big scam, but you can treat acne by Exfoliating with a BHA or an AHA.
So now, chemical exfoliants are categorized into two.

1. AHA: alpha hydroxy acids; they include Glycolic acid or mandelic acid or lactic acid. These are the most common in skincare.

Glycolic acid has tiny molecules and penetrates the skin deeper. And can help improve

Some cleansing tips: share✨🤗

1. If your Cleanser contains alcohol denat or isopropyl alcohol, it's drying and not good for your skin.

2. Witch hazel or anything astringent related aren't good for your skin due to their stripping effects.

3. Cleanse for 60sec.
4. If you've got inflammation concerns, cleanse for less time, maybe 30 secs, and do it only once daily at night. You can wash your face with just clean water when you wake up in the morning.

5. Cleanse properly and focus on the areas around your nose.
6. If you've got oily skin, going for a stripping Cleanser which mostly contains drying alcohols like the ones mentioned above will only worsen your oily skin — puts a strain on your sebaceous glands.

Stick to gentle foaming or lotion or gel cleansers.

Skincare ingredients you can use or avoid when pregnant✨ [share to someone]

1. Retinol/Retinoids are superior ingredients in skincare and should be treated with respect at all times. They're vitamin A derivatives and should be avoided during pregnancy or while nursing.
2. Benzoyl peroxide is an excellent ingredient to combat pimples that appear "ear and dear" and should be great to use even when pregnant, but stick to 5% or less, so that junior can continue to kick harder and score goals.
3. Don't use skin brighteners that contain hydroquinone. This is common. Very common. Pregnant/nursing mom's bleaching their skin with steroids and high doses of hydroquinone because they want to look like Kim Kardashian.

You think is 3k cream she used???

Ingredients/products I really trust can help your inflammed pimples:

1. Benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, differin/adapalene gel

2. Lots of Hydration & anti-inflammatory: snail mucin, niacinamide.

3. Exfoliation: mandelic acid serums.

Re-tweet for some awareness.
Relating products:

The @cerave 4% benzoyl peroxide cream cleanser. Great for people with (nodules, pastules, cysts) I suggest you alternate with a gentle cleanser.

A benzoyl peroxide spot treatment of 5% will also do your acnes good.
For hormonal acne or any inflammed acnes, sulfur is more efficient and gentler than benzoyl peroxide as benzoyl can be drying for most people. Sulfur works by sucking out excess sebum. Not to look far, @Viviglowskin sulfur clay mask is affordable and will do a lot on your skin.

Something's you should know.:

1. Oily skin does not necessarily mean acne prone skin. Any skin type can be acne prone.

2. Not Every alcohol in skincare is bad.

Cetyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols.

Retweet please.
This means they're fatty acids that have been exposed to hydrogen (you will understand better if you do chemistry).

They’re used as emollients or spreading ingredients, and can be found in your sunscreens as well, makes it easier to spread without it being greasy.
3. Alcohols not needed are denatured alcohol (alcohol denat), isopropyl alcohol.

4. Fragrance is not necessarily evil. Though a few with sensitive skin or eczema might experience allergies from them.

5. Parabens are preservatives in skincare and have been proven by the FDA.
