INTRODUCTION
Skincare refers to the use of cosmetics to clean, protect, or repair the skin. Skincare products include creams, lotions, and washes that are specially formulated for the face or body. The following are some of the most common types of skincare products and their uses;
1) Cleanser
A cleanser, also called a face wash, facial cleanser, or face soap, is designed to clean the skin of dirt and excess oil. Cleansers are available in bars and liquids. Bar cleansers contain lathering ingredients such as soap or saponified oils to help remove dirt and oils from the skin. Liquid cleansers usually contain mild detergents such as sodium Laureth sulfate (SLS) in a base of water or other ingredients such as glycerin for their softening qualities. Cleansers that are meant for oily skin also contain ingredients such as salicylic acid to help control oil production.
2) Exfoliant
An exfoliant is designed to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin. Exfoliants are available in liquid and solid forms. Gels containing alpha-hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, or retinol are popular exfoliants, but there are many different types of exfoliants on the market. Check product labels for the active ingredient and its concentration before use. Formulations of exfoliants should be applied to dry skin and then massaged in until the exfoliation becomes evident. Exfoliants should be washed off after a few minutes since many moisturizers contain some essential oils that are delicate at this time.
3) Moisturizer
A moisturizer is designed to help replace skin lipids that have been lost by washing and are used to prevent dryness and irritation. Moisturizers are available in a wide variety of formulations, depending on the specific skin type of the user. For example, some moisturizers are formulated for a smooth and youthful look while others are formulated for a firm and youthful skin.
CONCLUSION
Complete skincare is vital to the long-term health of the skin and is often neglected by those who are unaware of its importance. It is important to pay attention to how much, what type, and how frequently you wash or moisturize your skin to maintain optimum health. This will ensure that your skin stays healthy and you enjoy many years of beautiful healthy-looking skin.
