How do I choose a skin care product compatible with my skin?

If you tend to have a dry complexion most of the time, a creamy cleanser and an emollient-based moisturizer will be friendlier to your skin than an alcohol-based gel cleanser and a light water-based lotion. But if your complexion gets oilier during the humid months of summer, you might want to give the water-based moisturizer a try and put the richer cream away for the season. When you are picking a product, think about your lifestyle.

Do you spend a lot of time outdoors? (You'll need a stronger sunblock if you do.) Do you live in a humid climate? (You should try water-based or gel formulations and perhaps skip moisturizer altogether.) Think about what you're already doing regimen-wise.

Generally, the lighter a product's formulation (a liquid, lotion, gel, or foam), the better it will be for oily or acne-prone skin. Usually these vehicles are water- or alcohol-based. They tend to evaporate from the skin and provide a little less hydration and staying power.

Creams, balms and thicker lotions are usually oil or wax-based. These are the best bets for dry skin because they occlude it, creating another barrier over the skin's surface with ingredients such as mineral oil, shea butter, lanolin, or petrolatum. It's a good idea to double-check the ingredients in any product to make sure they're compatible with your skin.

For example, a cleanser containing a detergent such as sodium laureth sulfate will probably irritate dry skin, but oily skin may need this stronger surfactant, the "surface-acting agent" that breaks down oil and washes it away.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
