1. Choose the skincare products carefully

• Skin type
• For oily skin look for salicylic acid; for dry skin select a non-soapy formula. Choose a gel-based or oil-in-water-based moisturizer which is non-greasy and opt for broad-spectrum sunscreens preferably gel-based or aqua ones.
• Allergies
• Before purchasing the product check for the ingredients on its label for which you are allergic or in case you don’t know, do a small patch test on the skin and lips. If all seems good, it is safe to use.
