Finding the right balance in your skincare routine can be challenging, especially with the myriad of products available. Knowing how much skincare you need and what products are essential can help you achieve optimal skin health. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate your skincare essentials.

Cleanser

Why You Need It: Cleansing is the cornerstone of any skincare routine, removing dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin.

How Much to Use: A dime-sized amount is typically sufficient. This ensures your skin is clean without stripping away natural oils.

Skincare Active

Why You Need It: Active ingredients target specific skin concerns such as acne, aging, or hyperpigmentation.

How Much to Use: Depending on the product, a pea-sized amount is usually enough. Actives like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid are potent, so a little goes a long way.

Eye Cream

Why You Need It: The delicate skin around your eyes needs special care to reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.

How Much to Use: A small, rice grain-sized amount for each eye is ideal. Gently pat it around the orbital bone without tugging the skin.

Moisturiser

Why You Need It: Moisturising is essential for maintaining skin hydration and barrier function.

How Much to Use: A nickel-sized amount should cover your face and neck. Adjust according to your skin type and climate; you might need more in colder months.

SPF

Why You Need It: Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature aging and skin cancer.

How Much to Use: Use at least a teaspoon for your face and neck. For full-body protection, about a shot glass worth of sunscreen is recommended.

Mask

Why You Need It: Masks provide a concentrated treatment, addressing specific concerns like hydration, detoxification, or brightening.

How Much to Use: Apply a thin, even layer to your face, avoiding the eye area. Follow the product’s instructions regarding the frequency of use.

Physical Exfoliator

Why You Need It: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and a brighter complexion.

How Much to Use: Use a pea-sized amount, gently massaging it onto damp skin. Limit exfoliation to 1-2 times a week to avoid irritation.
