How do you choose a skin care line?

With all the marketing and thousands of products that have great reviews, how do you narrow down and select a product line for yourself?

Here I am, have also used “good quality” products, but I feel unsatisfied at this point. So maybe I need a change…

What do you recommend for combination skin that is dull and looks tired sometimes and on other days it 's bright and fresh?

So confusing :hinna:!

MD Forte's products have worked really well for me, I have combination skin...which gets sensitive from time to time...

for me i search online. if i like a product that comes close to wat i want i try to find reviews on it. i`m not a risk taker n decides very carefully :)
first make a list of product u need. then look for ingredients u want in them. google for ingredients u should look for in a good skin care n those u should def avoid.

for dull n tired skin try exfoliation n facial massages. u can do gentle exfoliation daily or every alternate day.
regular facial massages r really good in bringing life to a dull face.
mix castor oil with olive or sunflower oil n massage in ur face n neck b4 bedtime. do it 3-4 times a week n not everyday as castor oil can be drying if used too often.

For combination skin try lactic acid peels once a week. Pumpkin peels r good too.
Choose a good anti aging cream. Retin-A or Retinol(always start at the lowest concentration) n Vit C serums r good ani aging products. using these products u`ll see diff soon but always use good sunscreen SPF30 atleast as these measures will make ur skin extra sensitive to sun.. Stick with these basics while trying out a new good product that comes ur way every now n then.

i didn`t say healthy skin comes first from within meaning good diet, excercise, supplements coz ofcourse we all know this.:)

I agree Niksik, I waste so much money trying to find the right products...and what works for some doesnt always work for others! I also find that once I find something that suits me, after a few months down the line, its stops 'working' as our skins tend to get used to the product!! :(

Re: How do you choose a skin care line?

well with skin u know ur skin type so if i want to buy a product i read so many reviews and ask around before i buy the product..

Re: How do you choose a skin care line?

I mix and match products from different brands. Usually stick to those that I've tried and tested for years though I have started experimenting lately !

The Least number of products you use on your face the better. Allow your face to breathe !
