Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old female, I want to start a skincare routine but right now I am clueless about what to apply to my skin. I have combination skin majorly oily skin, my skin is textured as open pores are visible on my cheeks, white and blackheads are present on my nose, face looks completely dull. I would love it if you can help me in the betterment of my skin, I would prefer the drugstore's authentic product. Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern. As you are a beginner in following a skincare routine, I will recommend only the essential and minimum number of products required for your skin (type: oily or combination with dullness, open pores, and comedones). Please use the following products in the given sequence only:
1. Facewash.
2. Toner.
3. Moisturizer that has sunscreen properties too.
4. Follow this sequence every day in the morning and night regularly without skipping. You will start seeing wonderful results in your skin in just a few days.
Note: If you apply makeup regularly, make sure you use non-comedogenic products and clean the makeup at the end of the day. Apply makeup only after following the morning routine steps. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.
Thank you.
