Skincare can feel overwhelming with so many products and trends online. To make things easier, we’ve answered some of the most commonly searched skincare questions and included product suggestions to help you build a routine that really works.
1. Why Is Vitamin C So Popular?
Vitamin C is one of the most searched skincare ingredients for good reason. It helps brighten dull skin, evens skin tone, and protects against daily environmental damage.
✨ Tip: Try a Vitamin C serum in the morning under your moisturiser and sunscreen.
2. Which Ingredients Should I Look For?
Two ingredients that come up again and again are hyaluronic acid and retinol.
-
Hyaluronic acid: hydrates and plumps the skin.
-
Retinol: smooths texture, targets breakouts, and helps with fine lines.
✨ Tip: Use hyaluronic acid in the morning, and introduce retinol slowly at night.
3. What’s the Right Order to Apply Skincare?
The golden rule: apply products from lightest to heaviest.
4. When Should I Exfoliate?
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells so your products work better. The best time is after cleansing and before serums or moisturiser.
-
Sensitive skin: once a week
-
Normal/combination skin: 2–3 times a week
5. What Is Fungal Acne?
“Fungal acne” looks like small, uniform bumps and is often mistaken for breakouts. It’s caused by yeast on the skin and usually needs lightweight, non-oily products.
✨ Tip: If you’re unsure, speak with a skin professional for tailored advice.
6. When Should I Start Using Anti-Aging Products?
It’s never too early to protect your skin. Sunscreen is the number one anti-aging product for all ages. Adding gentle antioxidants or retinol in your mid-20s and beyond can also help maintain smooth, healthy skin.
7. Are TikTok Skincare Routines Worth Following?
Social media is full of trends, but not all routines are right for your skin. Overusing harsh actives can cause irritation. Keep it simple: a gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and daily sunscreen are the essentials. From there, you can build with targeted serums as needed.
Conclusion
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on the basics, add targeted products when needed, and remember — consistency is key.
