Knowing your skin type is the first step to effective skincare. Here are the main types:

  • Normal: Balanced skin with minimal issues.
  • Oily: Shiny skin with larger pores and a tendency for acne.
  • Dry: Flaky or rough skin that feels tight.
  • Combination: Oily in some areas, like the T-zone, and dry in others.
  • Sensitive: Easily irritated skin that reacts to many products.

To identify your skin type, wash your face and wait for an hour without applying any products. Look closely at your skin's condition:

  • Normal: Feels comfortable without excess oil or dryness.
  • Oily: Appears shiny, especially on the forehead, nose, and chin.
  • Dry: Feels tight or shows flakes.
  • Combination: Experiences both oily and dry areas.
  • Sensitive: Shows redness or irritation.

Once you know this, building out your skincare routine should be easier.

Start your day with a fresh and revitalised face:

  • Cleanser: Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin.
  • Toner: Apply toner to balance your skin's pH levels.
  • Serum: Choose a serum that targets your specific skin concerns, like hydration or brightening.
  • Hydrater: Keep your skin healthy with a suitable hydrating cream. Yayo Familia offers vegan options for all skin types.
  • Sunscreen: Protect your skin from UV damage with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

End your day with a soothing routine:

  • Makeup Remover: Remove makeup with a gentle, non-irritating product. Avoid products that are high in chemicals.
  • Cleanser: Cleanse your face to remove dirt and excess oil.
  • Exfoliator (2-3 times a week): Use an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal.
  • Toner: Reapply toner to refresh your skin.
  • Serum: Use a nighttime serum to repair and nourish your skin while you sleep.
  • Hydrater: Apply a rich lotion like Yayo Butter to keep your skin hydrated overnight.

For acne-prone skin, consider these tips:

  • Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Incorporate products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
  • Keep your skin hydrated with a non-comedogenic product.

Combat dry skin with these steps:

  • Use a hydrating cleanser and avoid hot water.
  • Apply a rich lotion immediately after cleansing.
  • Use a hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid.

For sensitive skin, follow these guidelines:

  • Choose hypoallergenic products made with natural ingredients.
  • Perform a patch test before trying new products.
  • Use calming ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile for any red or irritated skin.

Winter can be harsh on your skin. Here's how to protect it:

  • Use a heavier hydrating cream to combat dryness.
  • Avoid long, hot showers that strip your skin of natural oils.
  • Use a humidifier at home to maintain moisture in the air.

In summer, your skin needs extra protection:

  • Apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours.
  • Use a lightweight, oil-free lotion.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

The main skin types are normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive, each requiring different skincare approaches.

To determine your skin type, wash your face, wait for an hour, and observe your skin's condition without applying any products.

A basic skincare routine includes cleansing, toning, applying serum, hydrating, and using sunscreen.

Exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week, depending on your skin type, to avoid irritation.

Your skincare needs may change with the seasons, so it's beneficial to adjust your routine accordingly.

Use fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products, perform patch tests before trying new products, and incorporate calming ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile.

Use a hydrating cleanser, apply a hydrating lotion immediately after cleansing, and incorporate a hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid.

Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature ageing, and reducing the risk of skin cancer.

Eco-friendly practices include recycling packaging, using reusable cotton pads and cloths, and choosing products with minimal and sustainable packaging.
