Choosing the Right Skin Products for Results Akin to Laser Resurfacing

How many skincare products are there on the market today? Does anyone really know? There are more creams, serums and miracle cures out there than a person can count. Some products are better than others, but you'd never know it by the labels. If you haven't found the product that's right for your skin type, you need guidance to help you get through the mountains of products out there.

The right products for each person really depend on age, skin type, sensitivity, and personal preference. If you're in your teen to early twenties, you probably aren't looking for an age defying product just yet. Something to help fight oil and acne is much more appropriate. A good acne fighting cleanser is the first product you need. Don't buy products that are too strong, as they can make your skin peel and even make acne worse. Start out with something gentle, and if you need a stronger cleanser move up in strength slowly. Toner helps tighten the pores and keep oil at bay, so don't skip this step. Water based moisturizer is best for all skin types, but for oily skin make sure you find something that is super light. Skipping moisturizer will actually make your face produce more oil, so under no circumstances should you leave this step out. To keep your makeup from "melting" off your face from oil, use a primer before you apply mineral foundation or liquid foundation.

Normal skin is the easiest to find products for. Simply find a cleanser, toner and moisturizer that are right for your age group. If you need something to even out your tone, try skin bleach like Rox Spa Enlightenment. This product is great for smoothing out any complexion and was formulated by Dr. Calvert, one of the best cosmetic surgeons Los Angeles has to offer. If you have Mend by Rox Spa is also great for fighting Rosacea, or the red apples that never go away on the cheeks or near the jaw line.

Dry skin ages quickly, so if you fall in to this group, use a gentle exfoliating cleanser every day, a moisturizing toner and a heavy water based moisturizer. Dry skinned people are the only group that can get away with using petroleum based products, so if you prefer them, use them.

Finding good products for combination skin can sometimes feel like fighting a losing battle, but there are products out there than work. Stay away from acne fighting cleansers as they can make combination skin even more unbalanced, but use acne fighting toner and a water based moisturizer. Some people opt to use lightweight moisturizer in the t-zone and a heavier moisturizer on the rest of their faces and neck.

The key to getting the best skin for all skin types is to use the products that work best for their skin types and ages. Don't forget to exfoliate with a gentle cleanser every other day or more if needed.
