Dear Casper
Thank you so much for your email and your questions. I am happy that I can help you along in the right direction in this otherwise confusing jungle that is skincare.
Great to hear that you want to start taking care of your skin, which will certainly protect it and give it more radiance: Naturally, because you have chosen some great and correct products.
Of course, skincare products has to fit your skin type. With that being said, I want to highly that many products contain irritating ingredients – even products promoted to be for sensitive skin.
For your skin type, I will recommend a mild cleansing product that you should massage on to your face morning and evening. It will remove dirt, grime and excess greasy gently. Afterwards, you should use a light crème that should contain:
- Antioxidants (and there are hundreds of great sources for this: Green tea, red tea, vitamins, etc.)
- Moisturizing ingredients (glycerine, hyaluronic acid, etc.)
- AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid/ BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) = exfoliating ingredients (glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, etc.)
- The only difference that there should be between you day créme and night crème is that the day crème should contain sunscreen that protects from both UVA and UVB rays (for example, a physical filter like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide).
To understand everything mentioned above, you almost need to have a chemical degree. Which is why I have developed some simple and effective skincare products.
I am looking forward to hearing from you again and wish you a great weekend.
