Common Skincare Problem #1: Acne

Acne is a key concern that many of us face due to the way it affects our appearance. This can happen when the follicles are congested with oils and dead skin cells. Therefore, people with oily skin types are more susceptible to acne issues and should find ways to control the oil production of the skin.

Apart from people with oily skin type, you might have also heard of some skincare myths which falsely claim that acne occurs from hormonal issues or lack of hygiene. In fact, there are many other factors at play, such as stress and usage of unsuitable products.

Takeaway: Remember to take good care of your skin to minimise acne breakouts. Make sure to cleanse your skin twice daily, once in the morning and another time before you go to bed.

Common Skincare Problem #2: Dry Skin

Dry skin can look rough or even cracked. At times, it can also cause your skin to be itchy. Apart from people with a naturally dry skin type, your skin can also become dry from:

Spending too much time in air-conditioned rooms
Cold weather conditions
Not drinking enough water
Dehydrated skin
Sun exposure

Takeaway: Keep your skin hydrated throughout the day and drink plenty of water (approximately 8-9 litres per day). Look for products for dry skin types and don’t skip the skincare routine. You can also consider the 1 minute Saborino Moisture Rich Morning Mask with an ultra-moisturising formula that hydrates your skin throughout the day and the Saborino Goodnight Mask that has a rich milk texture to keep your skin moisturised while you sleep.

Common Skincare Problem #3: Wrinkles

Did you know that our skin starts to age in our 20s? Wrinkles and fine lines are common signs of ageing skin, which occur due to a variety of reasons:

Damage from sun exposure
Dehydrated skin
Smoking
Pollutants
Slower skin cell production - natural ageing process

Hence, early preventive measures are key to manage ageing skin. Although we cannot stop the time, there are ways to control ageing skin before it is too late. This means that we can start using anti-ageing products before wrinkles and fine lines even appear.

Takeaway: Start incorporating anti-ageing skincare products into your routine early. An easy way to do this is to add a 1 minute anti-ageing mask into your night routine, such as the Saborino Otonaplus High Moisture Night Mask that contains nano-encapsulated Vitamin C and E to fight signs of ageing. Additionally, always remember to apply sunblock to protect your skin against harmful UV rays.

Common Skincare Problem #4: Dull Skin

Dull skin refers to skin that lacks luminosity, radiance and brightness. One of the main reasons for dull skin is dead skin cell that builds up on our skin. As a result, the skin is unable to reflect light well and looks dull. This can be due to:

Lack of exfoliation
Skin ageing
Dehydrated skin
Stress
Sleep deprived

Takeaway: Start exfoliating on a regular basis with gentle exfoliators. Try using products that can help to fight dullness, like the Saborino Otonaplus Brightening Night Mask which contains nano-encapsulated Vitamin C and White EX that penetrates deeply into the skin to improve skin dullness.
