There’s no shortage of skin care products out there to choose from but all you really need to do is focus on finding three major tools in your fight against bad skin:

• A good Cleanser
• A good Toner
• A good Moisturizer

Cleansers that are formulated for your skin type are a first pass to remove the pollutants, makeup, dead cells and other gunk that gets caught in your skin. Available in cream, foam, gel and liquid based products, a good cleanser is a good friend.

Skin Toner (astringent) picks up where skin cleansers leave off and deep clean the stuff that cleansers couldn’t get to. Some toners can be harsh so, again, it’s a good idea to make sure you look for formulas that are geared towards your skin type (astringents can over dry skin and aggravate oily skin conditions).

Moisturizers, the skin care product with the highest profile of the bunch. A good moisturizer with emollients and essential oils can go a long way in nourishing the skin and helping with hydration. Oily skin will want a lightweight moisturizer and dry skin a more robust (heavier) approach.

Stick with the big three and you’ll have a solid foundation around which to build the perfect skin care regimen for you.
