Here’s how to create the ultimate skin care and face care routine based on your skin type, along with some must-have devices from Skin Glam Tech to elevate your routine.
Oily Skin: Control Shine and Prevent Breakouts
If you have oily skin, your skin care and face care routine should focus on balancing oil production, minimizing pores, and preventing breakouts. Here’s how to structure your routine:
-
Morning Routine:
- Cleanser: Start with a gel-based or foaming cleanser designed to remove excess oil without over-drying. Look for one with salicylic acid to help fight acne.
- Toner: Use a toner with ingredients like witch hazel or niacinamide to control oil and minimize pores.
- Serum: A lightweight serum with niacinamide or salicylic acid will help regulate oil production and reduce breakouts.
- Moisturizer: Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose an oil-free, mattifying moisturizer that won’t clog pores.
- Sunscreen: Opt for a sunscreen with a matte finish to keep your skin shine-free throughout the day.
-
Evening Routine:
- Cleanse: Double cleanse in the evening, using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and impurities, followed by a foaming cleanser to wash away excess oil.
- Exfoliate: Exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a gentle exfoliant containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid to keep pores clear and prevent breakouts.
- Serum: Use a lightweight, hydrating serum to maintain skin moisture without clogging pores.
- Moisturizer: Use an oil-free moisturizer at night to keep your skin hydrated while preventing excess shine.
- Targeted Treatment: If you struggle with acne, incorporate a spot treatment or retinoid at night.

Dry Skin: Hydrate, Nourish, and Soothe
Dry skin requires extra moisture and nourishment to maintain its softness and elasticity. The goal is to hydrate the skin and restore its natural barrier. Here’s how to structure your routine for dry skin:
-
Morning Routine:
- Cleanser: Use a creamy, hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Look for a cleanser with ingredients like glycerin or ceramides.
- Toner: Choose a hydrating toner with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile.
- Serum: Opt for a serum with hyaluronic acid to attract moisture and lock it in.
- Moisturizer: Use a rich, emollient moisturizer to replenish lost moisture and keep your skin soft throughout the day.
- Sunscreen: Use a sunscreen that also provides hydration, such as one with added ceramides or glycerin.
-
Evening Routine:
- Cleanse: Double cleanse to ensure all makeup and impurities are removed while maintaining skin hydration.
- Exfoliate: Exfoliate gently 1-2 times a week with a mild exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and allow your moisturizer to absorb better.
- Serum: Apply a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid or peptides to replenish moisture overnight.
- Moisturizer: Use a thick, nourishing cream at night to deeply hydrate and repair the skin barrier.
- Face Mask: Once a week, apply a hydrating overnight mask for an extra boost of moisture.

Combination Skin: Balance Your Routine for Different Areas
If you have combination skin, you’re probably dealing with an oily T-zone and drier cheeks. Balancing these two areas with the right products is key. Here's how to structure your routine:
-
Morning Routine:
- Cleanser: Use a gentle, balancing cleanser that can clean both oily and dry areas without over-stripping your skin.
- Toner: Choose a balancing toner that addresses both dry patches and excess oil in the T-zone.
- Serum: Opt for a serum that hydrates the skin but also controls oil, such as one with niacinamide or hyaluronic acid.
- Moisturizer: Use a lightweight moisturizer that hydrates without adding excess shine.
- Sunscreen: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is hydrating but won’t make your T-zone greasy.
-
Evening Routine:
- Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser to wash away makeup and impurities.
- Exfoliate: Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to prevent buildup of dead skin and reduce clogged pores.
- Serum: Use a hydrating serum with niacinamide or hyaluronic acid to keep the skin balanced.
- Moisturizer: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate without clogging pores.
- Face Massager: Use a face massager roller to help promote circulation and balance both dry and oily areas of the face.

- Mini Microcurrent Device 2 Go: This device helps tighten and tone the skin, targeting areas with excess oil or sagging skin for an overall balanced look.
Sensitive Skin: Calm, Soothe, and Repair
Sensitive skin requires a gentle, calming approach. Focus on products that soothe irritation, reduce redness, and repair the skin barrier. Here’s how to structure your routine for sensitive skin:
-
Morning Routine:
- Cleanser: Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser with soothing ingredients like chamomile or oat extract.
- Toner: Opt for a calming toner that replenishes moisture and reduces redness.
- Serum: Choose a serum with anti-inflammatory ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide, or calendula to soothe and repair the skin.

-
Evening Routine:
- Cleanse: Double cleanse with a mild, gentle cleanser to remove impurities without irritating the skin.
