• Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry.

• Wait for 1-2 hours without applying any skincare products.

• Press a tissue onto your face and observe:

• Oily skin: Oil appears on most areas of the tissue.

• Dry skin: No oil appears, and your skin may feel tight.

• Combination skin: Oil appears only in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

• Normal skin: A balanced feel without excess oil or dryness.

Once you identify your skin type, you can choose the best Valentine’s Day skincare treatments tailored to your needs.

Perfecting the Base

Deep Cleansing Ritual for Radiant Skin

Deep cleansing is essential, especially for special occasions like Valentine’s Day. It removes impurities, excess oil, and buildup that daily washing might miss. Follow these steps for a luxurious deep-cleansing experience:

1. Start with a Double Cleanse

Using two types of cleansers ensures a thorough cleanse. Oil-based cleanser or micellar water helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum. Water-based cleanser removes remaining dirt and unclogs pores, leaving your skin fresh.

2. Gentle Exfoliation

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Choose an exfoliant suited to your skin type:

• Oily skin: BHAs (salicylic acid) to unclog pores.

• Dry skin: Mild enzyme exfoliators to prevent irritation.

• Combination/normal skin: A gentle scrub or AHA-based exfoliant for an even tone.

3. Facial Steaming

Steaming opens up your pores, making it easier to remove impurities. Simply take a warm shower, use a facial steamer, or place a warm towel over your face for a few minutes.

Choose a mask that best suits your skin type. If you have Oily/Acne-Prone Skin, look for a clay or charcoal mask to absorb excess oil and detoxify. Hydrating masks can help restore moisture in your skin. Also, you can opt for O3+D-tan masks or vitamin C-based sheet masks for that radiant glow.

Lock in moisture to keep your skin soft and plump. The best way is to lather the products in the given pattern which will help them penetrate deep into your skin, boosting the effectiveness of the product.

• Serums: Hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid for deep nourishment are the top choice. Using Derma cult’s 2% hyaluronic acid serum might help your fine lines and provide deep nourishment to your skin.

• Moisturizers: The trick is to choose Gel-based for oily skin, and richer creams for dry skin. However, if your skin feels itchy or flaky and demands that extra hydration, look forward to including O3+ Snail 98 Mucin Essence in your skincare routine. This has snail mucin and glycolic acid that will restore the skin barrier and boost skin glow.
