Identifying your Skin Type
First, you must understand your skin type, skin care isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. You need to define your skin type and choose products specially formulated to suit the needs of your skin. By building your daily and nightly routines around your skin type, you’re bound to get the best results out of your skin care efforts.
For a general understanding of skin types:
- Oily Skin is greasier and shiny due to a higher production of sebum from the pores. Pores tend to be larger and visible. Dry Skin is flaky and rough. This skin doesn’t produce enough sebum and doesn’t retain enough moisture.
- Combination Skin typically has areas of both dry and oily skin. The T-zone, which contains the forehead, nose, and chin are oily with enlarged pores, while the cheeks are either dry or normal type skin.
- Normal Skin is well-balanced and healthy. The pores on normal skin are small and the skin feels smooth and soft.
Consult with Dermatologist or Medical Skin Care Professional
Consulting a dermatologist or skin care specialist is the best way to determine your skin type. They can assess the state of your skin and help you to determine if you have any additional skin conditions like sensitive skin or rosacea. A dermatologist can recommend an effective skin care regime and provide you with the best CosMedical products for your skin type.
Your skin is always changing. It can shift types or develop a condition as you age or if your environment, diet, medication or even your stress levels change. There are many factors that go into the composition and behavior of your skin and a dermatologist is the best resource for spotting these changes. They can also advise you through adjusting your routine to fit any of these changes.
A dermatologist can provide consultation on products like CosMedical’s Soothing Skin Relief Serum for redness of the skin or Salicylic Face and Body Wash for oily skin prone to acne breakouts. CosMedical medical-grade products are formulated for dermatologists and can safely treat skin conditions without causing irritation or discomfort when used appropriately.

A Daily Routine
When you plan out your daily hygiene routines, you should always consider your skin as a top priority. You need to incorporate proper skin care both in the morning and at night to give it the complete attention it needs. While each skin type requires products formulated to care for its individual needs, the core of every healthy skin care routine is essentially the same. By cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturizing with the right products, you can improve your skin quality in no time.
Cleansing is the initial washing process. You use a cleanser to remove the dirt and makeup from your skin. This allows other products to work more effectively with it and removes any residue that might irritate it or cause breakouts.
Toning uses products that smooth and soften the skin while removing any remaining makeup and residue left behind by your cleanser. Toning is a lesser known part of the skin care routine, but it is essential to clear the skin and prep it for moisturizing.
Exfoliating takes away the dead, dry skin left on your face and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Exfoliators clear the pores and remove dirt and left-behind skin that’s been shed since your last cleaning session. Exfoliating regularly can help tone down your blackhead count and helps prevent acne breakouts.
Moisturizing is what it says on the label. Moisturizers protect the skin and lock in moisture that’s essential to your skin’s health. Moisturized skin looks nourished, smooth and glowing. Keeping your skin hydrated is essential to your overall comfort and appearance.
Your daytime routine can also include applying SPF like CosMedical’s Daily Replenishing SPF 30+ treatment. The sun causes damage to your skin on a daily basis. Protecting against exposure is important to skin health and avoiding devastating conditions like skin cancer. These four simple steps are easy to perform and take little time. A healthy skin care routine is the best way to start and end your day. The fresh feeling you get from revitalized, healthy skin will leave you ready for any task and can help you sleep more comfortably. Contact your local medical spa or dermatologist to learn more about CosMedical products and discover the refreshed feeling of healthy, happy skin today.
