A healthy, glowing complexion starts with one thing: the right skincare routine for your skin type. Not every skin type needs the same products or treatment. Understanding your skin’s unique needs helps you manage concerns like hyperpigmentation, dullness, or oil imbalance without causing new issues such as irritation or breakouts.
At CookieSkin, we believe every person deserves a radiant, even-toned glow. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or combination, the key lies in using targeted products that restore balance and protect your skin barrier.
Skincare Routine for Dry Skin
Dry skin often feels tight, flaky, or rough, especially after cleansing. This happens because your skin lacks natural oils that help lock in moisture. The right dry skin routine should focus on deep hydration and barrier repair.
Step-by-step routine:
- Use a hydrating, cream-based cleanser that gently removes dirt without stripping your natural oils.
- Apply the CookieSkin Vitamin C + Arbutin Serum, a brightening formula that helps fade dark spots while delivering antioxidant protection.
- Follow with a rich, nourishing moisturiser to keep your skin soft and supple throughout the day.
- Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against UV damage and prevent further pigmentation.
Pro tip: Layer your moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp to help seal in hydration.
Skincare Routine for Oily Skin
If your skin looks shiny a few hours after washing or you struggle with frequent breakouts, your skin is likely oily. The goal here is not to remove all oils, but to balance sebum production while keeping pores clear.
Step-by-step routine:
- Start with a gentle foaming cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities.
- Use a lightweight brightening serum, like the CookieSkin Vitamin C + Arbutin Serum, to even tone without clogging pores.
- Apply an oil-free moisturiser to maintain hydration without greasiness.
- End with a mattifying sunscreen that keeps your skin shine-free while providing full sun protection.
Pro tip: Avoid over-cleansing, as it can trigger your skin to produce even more oil.
Skincare Routine for Combination Skin
Combination skin has both oily and dry areas, typically an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and drier cheeks. The best combination skin routine aims to balance both needs simultaneously.
Step-by-step routine:
- Choose a balancing cleanser that removes dirt without over-drying.
- Apply a lightweight Vitamin C + Arbutin Serum to brighten and improve tone across all areas.
- Use a light moisturiser on dry areas and a small amount on the oily T-zone.
- Protect with a non-greasy sunscreen that suits all areas of the face.
Pro tip: Multi-masking (using different masks on different zones) can help you manage varying skin needs more effectively.
Bottom Line
Hyperpigmentation takes time to fade, but with the right skincare routine, you’ll see visible improvements. Dry skin craves moisture, oily skin thrives on balance, and combination skin benefits from flexibility.
With CookieSkin’s brightening line, every skin type can achieve a clearer, smoother, and more confident glow.
