Building the perfect skincare routine can feel overwhelming, especially with so many products on the market.But here’s the truth: skincare doesn’t need to be complicated — it needs to be customized. The secret lies in knowing your skin type and choosing the right ingredients.
In this blog, we’ll break down skincare by skin types, help you understand your skin’s unique needs, and guide you through a simple, effective routine using ALKHA’s clean beauty essentials.
💧 Step 1: Know Your Skin Type
Before you build a routine, you need to know what your skin needs. Here’s a quick guide:
| Skin Type | Signs | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Oily | Shiny, large pores, prone to acne | Oil control, hydration, gentle exfoliation |
| Dry | Flaky, tight feeling, dull appearance | Deep moisture, barrier repair |
| Combination | Oily T-zone, dry cheeks | Balanced care |
| Sensitive | Redness, irritation, stinging from products | Calming, fragrance-free ingredients |
| Normal | Balanced, smooth texture | Maintenance and protection |
🧼 Step 2: Cleanse – The Foundation of Every Routine
Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser twice a day to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping your skin.
ALKHA Tip:
Coming soon — ALKHA Balancing Gel Cleanser with aloe vera and niacinamide. It suits all skin types and keeps your skin fresh without dryness.
💦 Step 3: Tone (Optional but Helpful)
Toners help balance pH, tighten pores, and prep your skin for better product absorption.
-
Oily skin? Try a toner with witch hazel or salicylic acid.
-
Dry skin? Go for rose water or hyaluronic acid-based toner.
🧴 Step 4: Treat – Use a Serum Targeted to Your Skin Concern
This is where the magic happens. A good serum can brighten, hydrate, or even reduce pigmentation.
| Concern | Key Ingredient | ALKHA Suggestion |
|---|---|---|
| Dullness | Vitamin C | ALKHA Radiance Boost Serum (launching soon) |
| Acne | Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid | Coming soon: ALKHA Clarifying Drops |
| Dryness | Hyaluronic Acid | ALKHA Hydra Serum (light & powerful) |
| Pigmentation | Alpha Arbutin | ALKHA Even Tone Elixir |
🧴 Step 5: Moisturize – Lock It All In
Every skin type — even oily — needs moisturizer. It helps seal in hydration and maintain a healthy barrier.
-
Dry Skin? Use rich cream with ceramides or shea butter.
-
Oily Skin? Go for a light, gel-based moisturizer.
ALKHA’s Dew Cream Moisturizer gives a balanced, non-sticky finish with long-lasting hydration.
☀️ Step 6: Sunscreen – Your Daytime Must-Have
No skincare routine is complete without broad-spectrum SPF. It protects your skin from UV damage, pigmentation, and aging.
ALKHA Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 (launching soon) is perfect for Indian skin — lightweight, no white cast, and matte finish.
🌙 Night Routine Add-On (Optional but Powerful)
At night, your skin repairs itself. Use a repairing night cream or overnight serum to help your skin recover from daily stress.
