How to choose the correct skin care products from thousands of brands available in the market. Lots of us have endlessly researched the cosmetic stores for hours to find out the connect skin care regime for the glowing healthy skin.

Different brands promise exciting results but all in vain. We have tried all but nothing works and the one that works have heavy steroid or mercury content that is very harmful in the long run.

Then who will guide us what is the best product to use on our skin that nourishes and repair our skin and has no side effects. The truth is that when we go out for skin products shopping, we have no knowledge about our skin or the ingredients present in skin care product. We are guided by people selling these brands dressed up in white coats pretending to be doctors but unfortunately they are not. They are salesmen trained to sell you their brand of skin care product.  Wearing white coat doesn’t impart people knowledge about skin care.

Question: How do I select what is good skin care for me, my children and my Parents?

For children skincare should start from 10 Years of age before that their skin has tendency to repair by itself after 10 Years of age, children should be using a soap free face wash without any perfume or colorants and a good sunscreen. The SPF of the sunscreen 30 or 50 would depend on the colour of the skin, lighter skin needs higher SPF and vice a versa.
