I would say that Skincare Routine is like a holy routine that everyone shouldn't miss even a single step out of it. It is so incredibly important for a skincare junkie like me and I regard skincare routine as one of the principal things in life (sandang, pangan, papan, perawatan) *ngakak in wkwkwwkw*
But... we got a little problem here...
What is the most suitable product for our skincare routine?
For most of us, sometimes it's a quite troubled to find a decent product for our skin, and yes, Lord knows there are soo many skincare and cosmetics products in the market so how can we find the most suitable brand for us? since every product is made for different purposes and not just to satisfy one particular needs.
Is cheap drugstore brand fine? or should I try the most luxurious brand because it is guaranteed good for my skin? or is herbal product fine? what is the different between this brand and another? Blah blah blah... a lot of questions remain unanswered....
To try one by one? That is crazy, how much time and money do we need just to find "the one"? it is like we are searching a straw in the pile of needles. ok that's gore, I mean the opposite~
Well, to find a perfect products for our skin, we must know what type of our skin first (i know, it is quite tricky sometimes (/T~T)/ ) but believe me, Girls, once you treat your skin as the way it wants to be treated with the right products, you don't even need much make up to cover your flawless skin (> w <) and get the right skincare is like an investment for our future self. Guaranteed.
The journey of skincare routine starts with knowing your best skin type and....
LET THE JOURNEY BEGINS ♥♥

In general, skins are categorized into 5 types as the picture showed, and lemme write a brief characteristic for each one of them
NORMAL SKIN
- smooth, clear and bright, have an appropriate amount of sebum (oil), rarely experienced skin trouble, hella fine skin
- you have the luckiest skin type among all (you go, Girl!) but still, you need to treat your skin with a good skincare product to prevent your skin from pigmentation, acne, uneven tone, and premature aging. To know what is wrong or right for your skin, take a look at this article :)
DRY SKIN
- flaky, tight, not feeling fresh or moisture as the skin contain oil and water at the low level, the not-so-elastic texture of skin make it quite tricky to apply make up, easy to have dark spots and wrinkles even at their twenties, face become darker when it exposed too much sunlight
- in some cases, person who had normal skin in their youth can has a dry skin in their mature age due to dehydration and unhealthy lifestyle (smoking). If you have this type of skin, please please please be friend with moisturizer. you don't want to look 10 years older from your actual age, do you? Here some recommended products for you :)
OILY SKIN
- oil manufacturer, sometimes there is no enough oil-paper that can absorb your sebum, and your make up will fades away within 2 hours. large pores and ACNE... no matter how bright your foundation is, your skin still look dull
- there's so much problem caused by oily skin (T~T) but hey, person who has oily skin tend to look younger in their late age, because their skin contains enough sebum to still look elastic :p just don't forget to use toner after washing your face daily to minimize your pores and prevent excess sebum, avoid products with creamy texture.

COMBINATION SKIN
- uneven oil distribution, too much oil in T-ZONE (forehead, nose, chin) but inclined to feels dry on cheeks (sometimes normal), i have this type of skin with consistent breakouts (T~T)
- here comes the tricky part: you cant use just one product line, neither for dry skin nor oily skin, you have to use both, oily treatment for your T-ZONE and dry treatment for your cheeks...double price *gasp*.... but don't worry, there are lot of products that are suitable for combination skin nowadays. this article might help you to find the perfect one :)
SENSITIVE SKIN
- thin layer of epidermic, redness and irritation, allergic to some particular ingredients, face is sensitive to temperature; it become red when exposed to sunlight and look pale when its cold
- you literally have baby face (or skin?) don't you dare to use random products for the sake of your skin :( people who have sensitive skin usually seek for doctors' help and use products provided by them. Despite its pros and cons, if you don't want to rely your fate forever under the doctor's hands, here is some recommended products for you, dear :)
