Creating the perfect skincare routine can feel overwhelming, especially with countless products promising miracle results. The secret lies in tailoring your routine to your specific skin type. Our beauty experts at Zivanyaa have put together simple guidelines to help you build an effective and balanced routine, no matter your skin concerns.

For Oily Skin:
Oily skin produces excess sebum, leading to shine and possible breakouts. Start with a gentle foaming cleanser twice a day to remove impurities without stripping moisture. Use a toner with ingredients like witch hazel or niacinamide to minimize pores and control oil. Opt for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers and always use a mattifying sunscreen. Incorporate exfoliation with salicylic acid (BHA) 1-2 times a week to keep pores clear.

For Dry Skin:
Dry skin lacks moisture and may feel tight or flaky. Use a creamy, hydrating cleanser that doesn’t strip natural oils. Follow up with a nourishing toner or essence rich in humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid. Apply a rich moisturizer with ceramides or oils to lock in hydration. Avoid harsh exfoliants; instead, try gentle exfoliation once a week. Don’t forget a moisturizing SPF.

For Sensitive Skin:
Sensitive skin reacts easily to irritants and can show redness or itching. Choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic cleansers and moisturizers. Avoid alcohol-based toners and harsh exfoliants. Ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and centella asiatica help soothe inflammation. Always patch-test new products and use mineral-based sunscreens for gentler sun protection.

For Combination Skin:
Combination skin has both oily and dry areas—usually oily in the T-zone and dry on cheeks. Use a mild cleanser suitable for all skin types. Balance oil and hydration with a lightweight moisturizer, applying richer creams only on dry patches. Use targeted treatments for oily areas, such as clay masks or exfoliants. Consistent sun protection is a must.

General Tips:

•⁠  ⁠Always remove makeup before bed.
•⁠  ⁠Layer products from thinnest to thickest consistency.
•⁠  ⁠Give new products time (4-6 weeks) to show results.
•⁠  ⁠Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet.
