Testing out skin care products is always a process. To begin with, you have to know how your skin takes to certain ingredients in the product.

 

I’m someone with oily skin, so I try to avoid oil-based products. Remember the coconut oil craze for removing makeup? I tried it once, and woke up with so many tiny pimples and clogged pores. I didn’t realize it was because I have oily skin, and mixing oil with more oil will just make matters worse.

 

On the other hand, people with dry skin can’t use products that tend to try out skin because it’ll irritate them. Trying to find a happy medium could take long. 

 

Another risk we take is trying out new products at the wrong time. I’ve never had this issue, but I know some people who try out new products before an event or for something they would like to have clear skin, then the reaction gets to them. 

 

One thing I’ve learned after years (definitely, many years and dollars later) is to keep it natural and to a minimum. 

 

I’ve noticed whenever I used too many products on my face, my skin starts to act up. I’m not someone with problematic skin, so I always wondered why that happens. I’m also not a dermatologist, but I think too many processed products will get you in the end.

 

Another thing to take note of is your diet. I notice when I consume too much sugar, go out too often, or just eat poorly in general, it shows up on my skin.
