Next, I will make the list of products that should make up your kit for facial skincare:
1. Cleansing cream or gel
Choose a product that suits your skin type (oily, combination or dry). Creams usually contain more moisturizing agents and are perfect for dry or very delicate skin. In the case of combination or oily skin, it is better to use a cleansing gel with more detergents.
All facial cleansing creams are gentle, but they have ingredients that are capable of removing all dirt or oil from the skin.
Dermatologists do not recommend using soap on the face. For all the rest of the body, the soap works well. Soap is not recommended for the face due to the detergents, fragrances and other properties that most soaps have.
On the other hand, facial cleansers are specially formulated for the delicate skin of the face. They generally have a low pH, which is more acidic but does not endanger the skin's lining. Soaps, on the other hand, have a high pH and are more alkaline. Products that have high alkalinity tend to irritate the skin.
2. Scrubs
The face scrub is a substance that can be natural or prepared in a laboratory whose function is to eliminate all the dead cells from our skin to make it always look beautiful.
Exfoliating the skin is a very important part of your beauty routine to remove dead cells and impurities and thus, show off beautiful and radiant skin.
Exfoliation is not a treatment that you should do daily, otherwise you will be able to dry and flake your skin. It is recommended that you do it yourself, in the bathroom, every week or 15 days, although you can also go to a specialized beauty center. If you are constant, in a few days you will see how your skin changes, it looks splendid and without imperfections.
3. Tonics
Facial toners are astringent used in the cleansing and exfoliating process of the skin. Toners help remove excess oils and bacteria that cleansers sometimes cannot remove from the skin, and many women love this product because it leaves their skin feeling fresh and clean.
In our basic beauty routine, there are certain steps that we should never forget: Wash + Tone + Hydrate. The first and last steps are almost inevitable, but many women are completely unaware of the benefits of using a facial toner and many others do not know how to use it.
But it is very important that you look for a facial toner that is suitable for your skin type. It is essential that you look for a toner that is free of alcohol, otherwise you will end up with super dry skin (for a few days), because your skin, to replace the oil and fats that you eliminated, will produce twice as much sebum.

4. Special Serums
Facial serums are cosmetic products that are used in conjunction with moisturizing cream, have a higher concentration of active ingredients, and are applied once or twice a day, preferably at night.
Showing off beautiful skin requires spending time and taking care of it, especially as the years go by. Depending on your skin type and age, more or less hydration is needed, which is why serums (or serums in English) are an excellent alternative for all skin types. Serums for the face are lightweight, absorb very quickly, and leave skin feeling soft and smooth instantly. The best ones have antioxidants and ingredients like retinol to fight the signs of aging and fine lines. They can also help make pores less noticeable. These products are recommended to be used from the age of 30, which is when the natural aging process begins.
5. Moisturizing creams (face) or Rose Water
This step is basic for any skin type. Check that the cream of your choice has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 20 or higher, even in winter. This way you will avoid sunspots and premature aging.
Facial creams prevent the skin from being dry, dull, rough, without elasticity and prone to flaking, which is very common in winter.
Face creams are one of the most widely used cosmetic products for both men and women. It is not only an aesthetic issue but also a skincare issue since environmental agents such as wind, sun and pollution, and internal agents such as stress and hormonal status are deteriorating our skin, and protecting and repairing it is one of the functions that face creams have.
Creams have certain functions (spots, wrinkles, etc.) but the truth is that they only attenuate this type of situation, but it does not eliminate the effects completely.
On the other hand, rose water also hydrates the skin and its use is more recommended for oily skin that needs something lighter and non-greasy to maintain a certain amount of water and look fresh and radiant.
6. Eye contour creams
The moisturizing cream around the eyes will help to keep the delicate skin around the eyes hydrated to better defend it against aging processes and take into account that it suffers from lazy microcirculation and accumulation of toxins that give rise to visible signs of fatigue such as dark circles and the bags.
A good eye contour is just as important as the application of a correct moisturizer and should be one more product in your daily beauty care kit.
A good eye contour will allow you to obtain a much brighter look, with a more unified and hydrated skin.
7. Lip balm
The lip balm is the complement that should never be missing in our kit. Having well-hydrated lips is necessary, but it also creates a feeling of freshness and well-being.
It is perfect to prevent the lips from being dry or chapped and its benefits can be summarized in three, mainly: it protects nourishes and repairs.
It is important to choose a lip balm with protection against UVA rays, since the skin of the lips is very sensitive and has almost no melanin, so it is very unprotected against the action of the sun's rays.
8. Sunscreen
Exposure to the sun is necessary for human life because it helps us to fix calcium to have strong and healthy bones, and it also lifts our mood.
Sunscreens are products for external use that are classified according to the substances they contain, which act as a protective barrier for the skin against solar radiation.
A good sunscreen must have the following benefits:
Good absorption capacity for ultraviolet radiation
Resistance to external agents, such as sweat or water
Do not cause skin irritation
Be stable in the sun
9. Make-up removers
The make-up remover is a product that will help us to remove all the make-up carefully that we use on our face and should be chosen to ensure that it is so and that our eyes and face are free of any makeup residue.
It is necessary that when removing make-up we start first with the eyes until we completely remove all the makeup of shadows and mascara and continue with the rest of the face so as not to mix the products used for the face with the products used for the eyes and later afternoons time to remove your makeup.
10. Micellar Water
Micellar water, as its name suggests, is made up of micelles, which are particles that trap dirt.
Micellar water is known for its make-up removal function, but as it does not contain oils, it does not remove all traces, especially if you have used very strong or waterproof products. In these cases, you should also use your usual make-up remover.
These products usually contain extracts of chamomile, aloe vera or roses, which also have the ability to soothe the skin, and therefore are very good to use as a tonic for those with very sensitive skin.
It also serves as a makeup primer since, despite leaving your skin more hydrated and clean, it will make it set better and last longer.
Now that you know which are the facial products that will allow you to show off young and beautiful skin, it is worth investing in quality products, because the results you will obtain will be incredible and your skin will always thank you.
