Discover Your Perfect Skincare Routine by Skin Type

Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or somewhere in between—understanding what it truly needs is the first step to achieving that healthy, glowing look.

There are endless products out there, but skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. At SkinCure Asia, we help you build a routine that works with your skin—not against it.

No matter your skin type, every routine should include these four basics:
🧼 Cleanser | 💧 Serum | 💖 Moisturiser | 🧖♀️ Mask

Now let’s break it down by skin type.

Oily Skin Routine: Balance

Oily skin tends to produce excess sebum, which can clog pores and trigger breakouts. The key? Gentle balancing—not over-drying.

Morning:

• Use a sulfate-free gel cleanser to remove impurities without over-cleansing

• Follow with a clarifying toner (witch hazel or geranium)

• Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser

• Don’t skip sunscreen—it helps regulate oil too

Night:

• Add a serum with AHA/BHA to gently exfoliate and fight breakouts

• Use a clay mask once a week to detox pores and mattify

Dry Skin Routine: Restore and Replenish

Dry skin lacks hydration and often feels tight or flaky. The goal is to strengthen the moisture barrier.

Morning:

• Use a creamy, non-foaming cleanser

• Apply an alcohol-free hydrating toner

• Follow with a serum rich in antioxidants (Vitamin E, C, A)

• Finish with a moisturiser + SPF to protect from moisture loss

Night:

• Add an eye cream and richer moisturiser

• Layer a nourishing facial oil to seal in hydration

• Gently exfoliate once a week to remove dullness (skip harsh scrubs)

Sensitive Skin Routine: Calm and Protect

Prone to redness, irritation, or allergic reactions? Sensitive skin needs extra gentle care with minimal ingredients.

Both AM & PM:

• Cleanse with a non-foaming, fragrance-free lotion

• Use a soothing toner with ingredients like chamomile or green tea

• Choose a gentle moisturiser paired with a mineral-based sunscreen

Weekly:

• Apply a cooling gel mask for hydration and comfort

• Try mild exfoliation with lactic acid 1–2x a week (if your skin tolerates it)

Combination Skin Routine: Target & Balance

Combo skin features both oily and dry areas—usually an oily T-zone with dry cheeks. This calls for selective care.

Daily:

• Use a lightweight gel or cream cleanser

• Apply a balancing toner

• Moisturise with a formula that hydrates without feeling greasy

Tips:

• Use clay masks only on oilier zones like the forehead and nose

• Consider layering hydrating serums on dry areas at night

• A facial oil can be used overnight when skin feels tight
