Skincare Regimen
Skincare Questions and Answers
What's wrong with using regular soap to clean my face?
Regular soap is often made with strong artificial fragrances and harsh agents that remove grease. The skin on your face is more delicate than that on your body, so using a strong body soap may irritate it and strip away its natural oils. Facial cleansers are milder and formulated to clean your face gently without disturbing the balance of natural oils.
If I don't have skin problems like pimples or oily skin, do I still need a skincare regimen?
Yes. A proper skincare regimen is essential to keep your skin in a tip-top condition. If you don't even bother to cleanse your face, oil and grime will build up, clog your pores and causes outbreaks.
What is the bare minimum I can get away with?
Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 every day to protect your skin from sun damage. This includes premature ageing of the skin, wrinkles, dry skin and, in the worst scenario, skin cancer. If you don't like the feeling of having products on your face, moisturise the dry parts of your face when needed.
What is the difference between male and female skin?
Men have thicker skin and is firmer because it is richer in collagen and elastin but men have more oil producing sebaceous glands and are prone to acne and oily skin than female.
