How to Choose the Right Skincare Routine for Dry, Oily, or Combination Skin?

Finding the right skincare routine shouldn’t feel confusing. But with so many brands, TikTok trends, and opinions floating around, it’s easy to buy products that don’t suit your skin, especially if you live in Pakistan, where the weather, humidity, pollution, and water hardness can affect your skin differently.

So if you’ve ever asked yourself:

• “Why does this product work for others but not me?”
• “Do I need all 10 steps?”
• “Which products are right for MY skin type?”

…you’re in the right place.

This guide will help you build a simple, effective routine based on your skin type, dry, oily, or combination, and help you confidently choose the right products.

Let’s get started.

1. Know Your Skin Type

Before buying anything, make sure you know your skin type. Here’s a quick breakdown:

 

Once you know your skin type, choosing products becomes much easier.

2. Build a Simple Skincare Routine

A routine doesn’t have to be long. In Pakistan’s climate, 3–5 steps are enough.

✔ Step 1: Cleanser

• Dry skin → gentle, hydrating cleanser
• Oily skin → foam or gel cleanser
• Combination skin → mild balancing cleanser

✔ Step 2: Serum

Serums target your main concern:

✔ Step 3: Moisturizer

Even oily skin needs moisturizer, just the right texture.

✔ Step 4: Sunscreen (Daytime Only)

Pakistan’s sun exposure is high year-round, so SPF is non-negotiable.

Pick: Broad-spectrum SPF 50, lightweight, non-greasy.

3. Be Consistent - Not Perfect

Skincare works only when you stick to it. Don’t switch products every week.

Give your routine:

• 2–4 weeks for hydration & texture improvements
• 4–8 weeks for acne & pigmentation
• 12+ weeks for long-term visible change
  

4. Avoid Common Mistakes

❌ Using too many products
❌ Following random online routines
❌ Skipping sunscreen
❌ Over-exfoliating

Your skin needs balance, not aggression.

Best Skincare Products in Pakistan - What to Look For

Instead of checking only brand names, focus on ingredients and textures suited to your skin type. Pakistan’s weather is hot and humid in most cities, such as Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Islamabad. Therefore, lightweight products that absorb quickly, don’t clog pores, and work well in humidity are ideal.

Look for:

• Fragrance-free formulas (especially for sensitive skin)
• Dermatologist-tested and science-backed ingredients
• Non-comedogenic, Pakistan-weather-friendly textures

Choosing skincare doesn’t have to be overwhelming. When you know your skin type and follow a routine designed specifically for your needs, results become visible faster, especially with products formulated for Pakistani skin, weather, and lifestyle.

If you're still unsure where to start, let the system choose for you.
