There is really nothing like a best skin care product. There really can't be anything like 'The best skin care product', because skin care products work differently for different people (based on the skin type to some extent). A product that is the 'best skin care product' for one person might end up being the worst for another person. So, a more logical question to ask would be 'What is the best skin care product for my type of skin?'. However, this still is not completely logical. We tend to segregate people into 4 groups based on their skin types – i.e. dry skin, oily skin, normal skin and sensitive skin. However, this classification is just too broad to be used definitively in determining the best skin care product. We can say 'best skin care product for a dry skin' or 'best skin care product for an oily skin' are better statements than just 'best skin care product'. But really, that is what it is – 'better'; still not accurate.

So, it really comes to rephrasing the question to – 'What is the best skin care product for me'. Yes, this is exactly the question that you should be asking, and unfortunately there is no easy answer for this. Arriving at the best skin care product for self will need some effort on your part.

First of all, you need to understand how the skin care products work. This is simple. You can consider all skin care products to be composed of 2 types of ingredients – Active and inactive. The active ingredients are the ones that actually work on your skin. The inactive ones just help in delivering these active ingredients to your skin. Both the ingredients need to work for your skin, in order for the product to be effective (and move on to become the best skin care product for you).

Besides the ingredients, the way you apply your skin care products is equally important. In fact, this is even more important. If you do not know how to apply skin care products, you might forever be hunting for the best skin care product for yourself, when that has already passed you. Moreover, it's also important to decide on the frequency of application (of the skin care product). The environmental factors - temperature, humidity and pollution level, also affect the selection of best skin care product. Here are a few rules that you could use to ensure that your best skin care product is really the best for you:
* Cleanse your skin before applying that best skin care product.
* Use a makeup remover instead of plain water and remove your makeup before going to bed.
* The effectiveness of active ingredients is reduced when applied over another product e.g. over moisturiser. So apply that best skin care product first and then apply a bit of moisturizer if needed.
* Apply the products on moist and warm skin.
* You will have to experiment with a few products before you arrive at the one that is the best skin care product for you.
* Do not exfoliate too much or too hard.
* Vary your skin care routine as per the seasons (winter/summer etc), changes in environmental factors and changes in your skin type

Note that the best skin care product cannot be determined overnight. It's only through experiment (and awareness) that you can find the 'Best skin care product' (for you).

Apart from choosing the best skin care product for our particular skin, we should never forget implementing the habits that helps not only helps in keeping our skin healthy and young but also our mind and body. Regularly jogging and usually playing outdoor sports is a great thing for our skin, mind and body health. These are the regular and simplest thing we should do for our skin, but we just don't have time to or we just like ignoring it. But in future we regret when we have to go for lifestyle lift or cosmetic surgeries because we start having wrinkles and crows feet at the age of 25. So, without ignoring these simple and important steps we should apply them in our daily lives. Also, drinking plenty of water regularly , drinking fruit juices and eating healthy fruits and foods are keys to beautiful skin.
