Tips for oily skin: 


Use a gentle face scrub twice a week, at least. Use a light, water-based lotion, day and night. Hydrating masks, such as seaweed or aloe vera need to be incorporated into your routine at least twice a week.

Tips for dry skin: 


Dry flaky sin also has its issues. Use a cleanser. Use cream-based face scrubs with AHAs. Apply a thick moisturizer or sleep mask before you head to bed.

Tips for combination skin:


The most challenging is the combination skin because you must fight oiliness and dryness, both. Pamper your skin with a mud face pack once a week. Every alternate day indulges in a cream massage. Use natural exfoliating scrubs, such as a walnut-orange peel scrub.
