How To Take Care Of Your Skin? | Best Skincare Routine For Indian Skin Types

A fundamental skincare routine includes three key components: cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen.

• Cleansers:
  A facial wash or a mild soap should be pH balanced to avoid excessive dryness or oiliness. It is generally recommended to wash the face twice a day; if additional cleansing is necessary, rinsing with water is advisable.
• Moisturisers:
  The choice of moisturiser should align with skin type. Dry skin requires different formulations compared to oily skin.
• Sunscreen:
  Applying sunscreen is critical, regardless of daily activities or weather conditions. The choice of sunscreen should also depend on skin type.

If time permits, Dr. Kanak suggests incorporating exfoliation into the routine to remove dead skin cells, promoting glowing and healthy skin. Exfoliation can be classified into two types: physical (scrubbing) and chemical (peels), with the latter requiring consultation with a doctor.​

Under Eye Care
The under-eye area is particularly delicate and can show signs of stress, lack of sleep, or other lifestyle factors. Incorporating an under-eye cream into the skincare routine can help maintain its health.

For specific issues such as pigmentation, acne, or signs of ageing, it is advisable to consult a doctor for targeted therapies, often applied at night.

Importance Of Hydration
Adequate hydration is also a crucial part of skincare. Dr. Kanak recommends consuming 3 to 4 litres of water daily to keep the skin well-hydrated.

Consistency Is Key
Dr. Kanak stresses the importance of consistency in using skincare products to achieve and maintain glowing, healthy skin.
