Turn on the TV and you are bound to encounter commercials that promise “Brighter skin in 2 weeks”, or claim to result in ‘lighter, clearer skin’, but have you stopped to consider how the same product can suit every skin type? Did you know that every skin type reacts to different products and their ingredients differently? All this means that you need skin care products that are developed with science and proven in tests and in the real world to choose from. Sebamed is the world’s leading skin care expert from Germany with more than 50 years of experience, with products that are developed by Dermatologists and clinically tested on sensitive skin.
Broadly, skin can be divided into five types: normal, oily, dry, combination (of both oily and dry) and sensitive. And your ideal skin care and the skin care products you will need will vary depending on your specific skin type. So, understanding your skin type is the first step to care for it the right way. This classification is based on the amount of sebum (oil) produced by your skin. For example, normal skin is neither too dry nor too oily – pointing to a balanced sebum protection. Oily skin produces excess sebum, making the skin appear shiny or greasy. Many factors can be at play here – including age, hormones and genetics. Dry skin on the other hand is easily influenced by environmental factors, such as humidity. If not taken care of at the right time, it can go on to become itchy or cracked. Combination skin is oily in some areas and dry in the other areas. And lastly, any skin type can be sensitive – meaning more prone to infections, irritation, allergies etc than normal skin. If your skin is sensitive, you may need to find out which specific ingredients to avoid, and what products react positively to your skin specifically. Skin varies greatly even within your body – for instance, the skin on the back of your hand is different from the skin on your heels, which is in turn different from the soft skin under your eyes. So it is important to identify the type of skin you have, and choose the right skin care product that suits you.
As the part of the body that is constantly exposed to the elements, your skin is prone to many conditions – conditions that may shift from one to the next over time depending on environmental factors such as pollution and weather, to internal factors such as your age and genetics. When you keep your skin healthy you not only make sure that you are protected from such conditions, but have the added perk of looking and feeling amazing. To know how to achieve healthier skin, you should first be aware of the problems it can develop. Here are the most common skin concerns and our recommendations for the best skin care products for Indian skin: Acne:
Acne is nothing but the condition when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin. It is one of the most common skin conditions and the cause of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam for Acne-prone Skin enables mind yet deep cleansing of the pores and combats acne-causing bacteria with the ideal pH of 5.5.
Itchy skin:
The reasons for itchy skin are many, and therefore the first step to get rid of it is to identify the source. It can be caused by dryness, a reaction to another body product, or even the detergent you use for your clothes. Regular application of a good moisturiser for sensitive skin, such as Sebamed Moisturizing Cream, with a high content of Vitamin E and the ideal pH balance of 5.5, is effective against itchy skin.
Hyper pigmentation:
This is a problem common to Indians, that can be caused by both the exposure to harsh sun and heat, and hormonal imbalances. It causes uneven skin tone. The best way to treat it is to use an effective sunscreen, along with skin care products high in Vitamin E. Sebamed Multi Protect Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Plus offers the highest UVA protection while the Vitamin E contained in it acts as the brightening agent that evens out the dark spots and pigmented areas of your skin.
Pollution:
Skin allergies and reactions from pollution and dust, unfortunately, are commonplace in India. Especially in urban centres, it is virtually impossible to avoid pollution. Nothing feels better than a proper shower after a day out, and you need a cleanser that can effectively combat the dust and grime. The Dermatologist-developed 100% soap-free Sebamed Liquid Face and Body Wash is gentle and mild on your skin while its active ingredients enable deep-cleaning of pores. Its ideal pH of 5.5 also restores your skin’s natural protective barrier.
Tending to your skin regularly is just as important as using good skin care products. Having a great skincare regimen also contributes to feeling great from the inside! We recommend having a skincare routine to follow both in the morning, as you step out fresh for the day, and in the evening, as you literally remove the day’s baggage and prepare to get your beauty sleep in. Here is a simple yet effective skincare routine you can follow with the best recommended skin care products that are developed with science, and clinically proven:
Step 1: Deep-pore cleansing
It all starts with a fresh, clean face. Your skin’s sebaceous glands produce oil throughout the day and night, so whether it is in the morning or in the evening, the first step in your facial care regimen is to unclog your skin’s pores. Use a gentle, soap-free cleanser like the Dermatologist-developed Sebamed Cleansing Bar. Its ideal pH of 5.5 matches that of your skin’s so that its natural protective barrier remains intact. Extremely mild and free of any irritants, it is ideal for sensitive and problematic skin.
Step 2: Repair and replenish with serum
Environmental factors such as pollution leads to premature aging, when your skin is not allowed to heal adequately. The active ingredients in serums protects the skin and strengthens its resilience. Just a few drops of Sebamed PRO Vital Serum (ideal pH of 5.5) with probiotic care complex and stem cell extract (CellPulse NC04) de-ages your skin, eliminates fine wrinkles and provides your skin with new energy.
Step 3: Deeply hydrate with moisturizer
Just like it is true for your body, it is important for your skin to stay hydrated all day long too. Hydration is the single-biggest contributor to soft, supple, healthy skin. Developed by Dermatologists, Sebamed Moisturizing Cream with the ideal pH balance of 5.5, guards your skin from dryness. It also contains the highest concentration of Vitamin E in a cream (at 2.3%), ensuring a radiant glow and protecting your skin against age-accelerating free radicals. Moisturise your skin in the morning so that it locks in moisture for the day, and at night so as to help boost hydration overnight. Follow up with Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel for oily skin prone to acne.
Step 4: Defend against aging
Aging of the skin begins as early as at 21 years, and the best way to combat aging is to defend against it from the onset. Sebamed Anti-ageing Q10 Protection Cream (with ideal pH value of 5.5) is formulated by Dermatologists with Co-enzyme Q10 which activates the metabolism of oxygen in the cells. It facilitates your skin’s regeneration and natural elasticity, reduces puffy skin, spots and other telltale signs of aging, and is proven to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles over 28 days. Follow up with Sebamed Anti-ageing Q10 Lifting Eye Cream to protect the delicate area of skin around the eyes. As it is easily absorbed and leaves no greasy residue, it is perfect as a base for make-up.
Step 5: Protect yourself from harmful sun rays
Exposing your skin to harsh and direct sunlight is the number one cause of skin damage and aging. Give your skin (and your carefully chosen skincare products) an effective layer of protection with Sebamed Multi Protect Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Plus which maintains your skin’s ideal pH of 5.5 and offers the highest protection (98%) from UVA rays. Its unique film coating makes it water/sweat/dirt resistant for 6 hours, while its Titanium Dioxide nano particles ensures zero skin whitening. Step 6: Enjoy supple, soft lips with lipbalm In dry weather, one of the first parts of your body to feel dry is your lips – no surprise, as the lips are one of the most sensitive areas of the human body. Add an effective lipbalm to your skincare arsenal With Sebamed Lip Defense, especially suited for sensitive skin. With Vitamin E and Jojoba oil, it provides intensive care to dry and chapped lips, while SPF 30 with UVA and UVB filters provides protection against sunburn.
