CLEANSERS: Foam, gel or cream based?

First things first. You need a good cleanser to remove dirt and all impurities. Choose the type that works for your skin type, foam, gel, cream or oil based cleanser.

TONERS: Exfoliating, Alcohol or Alcohol-free?

A good toner will prep your skin prep for subsequent products. You need to balance your pH level and tighten those pores. I tend to use alcohol free toners. I feel they don't strip my skin.

Moisturizers: Day cream or Night cream?
