• The general rule is to use products that suit your skin type. This is true both for the routine products and for the skin care cosmetic. So check the label to see what it says e.g. for dry skin only or for all skin types etc.
• Test the skin care cosmetic before using it. This can be done by applying the skin care cosmetic on a small patch of skin e.g. ear lobes and checking the reaction of your skin to the product.
• Ensure the ingredients of the skin care cosmetic for chemicals that you are allergic to. Do not use products that are very harsh on skin e.g. products which contain high alcohol concentrations; such cosmetics might work for once but cause a long-lasting damage to your skin.
• Ensure that you apply the products in right quantity- neither less nor more. Also, be gentle with your skin and follow the right procedures for application of skin care products. Rubbing too hard or trying to squeeze a pimple can lead to permanent damage to your skin.
• Finally, if you have a skin disorder e.g. acne etc, then before using any skin care cosmetic you should seek advice from your dermatologist.
