Where to Start with Skincare? Step-by-Step Guide by Skin Type | LIYA’S

Ever feel overwhelmed by all the skincare advice online?

  • “Am I dry skin, oily skin, or combination?”
  • “What’s the right order—toner, serum, moisturizer?”
  • “Everyone’s talking about placenta extract. Is it right for me?”

If you’ve asked these questions before, you’re in the right place. Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. This series of articles will help you build a simple, logical routine based on your skin type—so you stop wasting money on products that don’t work.


Step 1: Understand your skin type

Before choosing any product, you need to know your skin. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Dry skin: Feels tight after washing, prone to flaking or patchy makeup
  • Oily skin: Shiny all over, visible pores, often acne-prone
  • Combination skin: Oily T-zone but dry cheeks, more sensitive during weather changes
  • Sensitive skin: Reactive to fragrance, easily irritated or flushed

Knowing your skin type helps you avoid blindly following trends. What works for someone else may not work for you.


Step 2: Know what each product actually does

A simple breakdown of the basic products:

  • Cleanser: Removes dirt and oil, preps your skin to absorb skincare
  • Toner: Rehydrates and opens up the skin barrier for better absorption
  • Serum: Targets concerns like dullness, fine lines, or uneven tone
  • Moisturizer/Cream: Seals everything in and maintains skin’s balance

Choose what matters most based on your current condition: hydration for dry skin, calming for sensitive skin, or active repair for mature skin.


Step 3: Choose the right series for better results

Dr.Select offers two professional skincare lines designed for different needs:

  • Placenta Exelity Series: Ideal for dry, dull, and aging skin. Focuses on repair and elasticity.
  • LBS Organic Series: Perfect for sensitive or combination skin. Gentle and soothing with organic ingredients.

Not sure where to start? Just begin with these basics:

  • Gentle Cleanser + Toner: Helps balance skin and avoid irritation
  • Add serum or cream later depending on your skin goals
